7:1 In
the
first
year
of
Belshazzar
king
of
Babylon,
Daniel
saw
a
dream
and
visions
of
his
head
as
he
lay
in
his
bed.
Then
he
wrote
down
the
dream
and
told
the
sum
of
the
matter.
7:2 Daniel
declared,
"I
saw
in
my
vision
by
night,
and
behold,
the
four
winds
of
heaven
were
stirring
up
the
great
sea.
7:3 And
four
great
beasts
came
up
out
of
the
sea,
different
from
one
another.
7:4 The
first
was
like
a
lion
and
had
eagles'
wings.
Then
as
I
looked
its
wings
were
plucked
off,
and
it
was
lifted
up
from
the
ground
and
made
to
stand
on
two
feet
like
a
man,
and
the
mind
of
a
man
was
given
to
it.
7:5 And
behold,
another
beast,
a
second
one,
like
a
bear.
It
was
raised
up
on
one
side.
It
had
three
ribs
in
its
mouth
between
its
teeth;
and
it
was
told,
'Arise,
devour
much
flesh.'
7:6 After
this
I
looked,
and
behold,
another,
like
a
leopard,
with
four
wings
of
a
bird
on
its
back.
And
the
beast
had
four
heads,
and
dominion
was
given
to
it.
7:7 After
this
I
saw
in
the
night
visions,
and
behold,
a
fourth
beast,
terrifying
and
dreadful
and
exceedingly
strong.
It
had
great
iron
teeth;
it
devoured
and
broke
in
pieces
and
stamped
what
was
left
with
its
feet.
It
was
different
from
all
the
beasts
that
were
before
it,
and
it
had
ten
horns.
7:8 I
considered
the
horns,
and
behold,
there
came
up
among
them
another
horn,
a
little
one,
before
which
three
of
the
first
horns
were
plucked
up
by
the
roots.
And
behold,
in
this
horn
were
eyes
like
the
eyes
of
a
man,
and
a
mouth
speaking
great
things.
7:9 "As
I
looked,
thrones
were
placed,
and
the
Ancient
of
Days
took
his
seat;
his
clothing
was
white
as
snow,
and
the
hair
of
his
head
like
pure
wool;
his
throne
was
fiery
flames;
its
wheels
were
burning
fire.
7:10 A
stream
of
fire
issued
and
came
out
from
before
him;
a
thousand
thousands
served
him,
and
ten
thousand
times
ten
thousand
stood
before
him;
the
court
sat
in
judgment,
and
the
books
were
opened.
7:11 "I
looked
then
because
of
the
sound
of
the
great
words
that
the
horn
was
speaking.
And
as
I
looked,
the
beast
was
killed,
and
its
body
destroyed
and
given
over
to
be
burned
with
fire.
7:12 As
for
the
rest
of
the
beasts,
their
dominion
was
taken
away,
but
their
lives
were
prolonged
for
a
season
and
a
time.
7:13 "I
saw
in
the
night
visions,
and
behold,
with
the
clouds
of
heaven
there
came
one
like
a
son
of
man,
and
he
came
to
the
Ancient
of
Days
and
was
presented
before
him.
7:14 And
to
him
was
given
dominion
and
glory
and
a
kingdom,
that
all
peoples,
nations,
and
languages
should
serve
him;
his
dominion
is
an
everlasting
dominion,
which
shall
not
pass
away,
and
his
kingdom
one
that
shall
not
be
destroyed.
7:15 "As
for
me,
Daniel,
my
spirit
within
me
was
anxious,
and
the
visions
of
my
head
alarmed
me.
7:16 I
approached
one
of
those
who
stood
there
and
asked
him
the
truth
concerning
all
this.
So
he
told
me
and
made
known
to
me
the
interpretation
of
the
things.
7:17 'These
four
great
beasts
are
four
kings
who
shall
arise
out
of
the
earth.
7:18 But
the
saints
of
the
Most
High
shall
receive
the
kingdom
and
possess
the
kingdom
forever,
forever
and
ever.'
7:19 "Then
I
desired
to
know
the
truth
about
the
fourth
beast,
which
was
different
from
all
the
rest,
exceedingly
terrifying,
with
its
teeth
of
iron
and
claws
of
bronze,
and
which
devoured
and
broke
in
pieces
and
stamped
what
was
left
with
its
feet,
7:20 and
about
the
ten
horns
that
were
on
its
head,
and
the
other
horn
that
came
up
and
before
which
three
of
them
fell,
the
horn
that
had
eyes
and
a
mouth
that
spoke
great
things,
and
that
seemed
greater
than
its
companions.
7:21 As
I
looked,
this
horn
made
war
with
the
saints
and
prevailed
over
them,
7:22 until
the
Ancient
of
Days
came,
and
judgment
was
given
for
the
saints
of
the
Most
High,
and
the
time
came
when
the
saints
possessed
the
kingdom.
7:23 "Thus
he
said:
'As
for
the
fourth
beast,
there
shall
be
a
fourth
kingdom
on
earth,
which
shall
be
different
from
all
the
kingdoms,
and
it
shall
devour
the
whole
earth,
and
trample
it
down,
and
break
it
to
pieces.
7:24 As
for
the
ten
horns,
out
of
this
kingdom
ten
kings
shall
arise,
and
another
shall
arise
after
them;
he
shall
be
different
from
the
former
ones,
and
shall
put
down
three
kings.
7:25 He
shall
speak
words
against
the
Most
High,
and
shall
wear
out
the
saints
of
the
Most
High,
and
shall
think
to
change
the
times
and
the
law;
and
they
shall
be
given
into
his
hand
for
a
time,
times,
and
half
a
time.
7:26 But
the
court
shall
sit
in
judgment,
and
his
dominion
shall
be
taken
away,
to
be
consumed
and
destroyed
to
the
end.
7:27 And
the
kingdom
and
the
dominion
and
the
greatness
of
the
kingdoms
under
the
whole
heaven
shall
be
given
to
the
people
of
the
saints
of
the
Most
High;
their
kingdom
shall
be
an
everlasting
kingdom,
and
all
dominions
shall
serve
and
obey
them.'
7:28 "Here
is
the
end
of
the
matter.
As
for
me,
Daniel,
my
thoughts
greatly
alarmed
me,
and
my
color
changed,
but
I
kept
the
matter
in
my
heart."
