DAN 7:1
Daniel 7:1
|
|
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon
Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream,
and told the sum of the matters. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:2
Daniel 7:2
|
|
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by
night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 7:3
Daniel 7:3
|
|
And four great beasts came up from the sea,
diverse one from another. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 7:4
Daniel 7:4
|
|
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings:
I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth,
and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 7:5
Daniel 7:5
|
|
And behold another beast, a second, like to
a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth
of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much
flesh. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 7:6
Daniel 7:6
|
|
After this I beheld, and lo another, like a
leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also
four heads; and dominion was given to it. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 7:7
Daniel 7:7
|
|
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold
a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great
iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the
feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it
had ten horns. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:8
Daniel 7:8
|
|
I considered the horns, and, behold, there
came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first
horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes
of man, and a mouth speaking great things. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:9
Daniel 7:9
|
|
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and
the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of
his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels
as burning fire. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:10
Daniel 7:10
|
|
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before
him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:11
Daniel 7:11
|
|
I beheld then because of the voice of the great
words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body
destroyed, and given to the burning flame. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:12
Daniel 7:12
|
|
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had
their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:13
Daniel 7:13
|
|
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one
like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of
days, and they brought him near before him. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:14
Daniel 7:14
|
|
And there was given him dominion, and glory,
and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his
dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom
that which shall not be destroyed. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:15
Daniel 7:15
|
|
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst
of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:16
Daniel 7:16
|
|
I came near unto one of them that stood by,
and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation
of the things. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:17
Daniel 7:17
|
|
These great beasts, which are four, are four
kings, which shall arise out of the earth. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:18
Daniel 7:18
|
|
But the saints of the most High shall take the
kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:19
Daniel 7:19
|
|
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast,
which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of
iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the
residue with his feet; |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 7:20
Daniel 7:20
|
|
And of the ten horns that were in his head,
and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn
that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout
than his fellows. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 7:21
Daniel 7:21
|
|
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the
saints, and prevailed against them; |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:22
Daniel 7:22
|
|
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment
was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed
the kingdom. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:23
Daniel 7:23
|
|
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the
fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall
devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:24
Daniel 7:24
|
|
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten
kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse
from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:25
Daniel 7:25
|
|
And he shall speak great words against the most
High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times
and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:26
Daniel 7:26
|
|
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take
away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:27
Daniel 7:27
|
|
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness
of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints
of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall
serve and obey him. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 7:28
Daniel 7:28
|
|
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me
Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but
I kept the matter in my heart. |
