In the first
year
of Belshazzar
king
of Babylon
Daniel
saw
a dream
and visions
in his mind
as he lay on his bed;
then
he wrote
the dream
down
and related
the following summary
of it.
2
Daniel
said,
"I was looking
in my vision
by night,
and behold,
the four
winds
of heaven
were stirring
up the great
sea.
3
"And four
great
beasts
were coming
up from the sea,
different
from one
another.
4
"The first
was like a lion
and had the wings
of an eagle.
I kept
looking
until
its wings
were plucked,
and it was lifted
up from the ground
and made to stand
on two feet
like a man;
a human
mind
also was given
to it.
5
"And behold,
another
beast,
a second
one, resembling
a bear.
And it was raised
up on one
side,
and three
ribs
were in its mouth
between
its teeth;
and thus
they said
to it, 'Arise,
devour
much
meat!'
6
"After
this
I kept
looking,
and behold,
another
one, like a leopard,
which
had on its back
four
wings
of a bird;
the beast
also had
four
heads,
and dominion
was given
to it.
7
"After
this
I kept
looking
in the night
visions,
and behold,
a fourth
beast,
dreadful
and terrifying
and extremely
strong;
and it had large
iron
teeth.
It devoured
and crushed
and trampled down
the remainder
with its feet;
and it was different
from all
the beasts
that were before
it, and it had ten
horns.
8
"While I was contemplating
the
horns
,
behold,
another
horn
,
a little one,
came
up among
them, and three
of the first
horns
were pulled out by the roots
before
it; and
behold,
this
horn
possessed eyes
like the eyes
of a man
and a mouth
uttering
great
boasts.
9
"I kept
looking
Until
thrones
were set
up, And the Ancient
of Days
took His seat;
His vesture
was like white
snow
And the hair
of His head
like pure
wool.
His throne
was ablaze with flames,
Its wheels
were a burning
fire.
10
"A river
of fire
was flowing
And coming
out from
before
Him; Thousands
upon thousands
were attending
Him, And myriads
upon myriads
were standing
before
Him; The court
sat,
And the books
were opened.
11
"Then
I kept
looking
because
of the sound
of the boastful
words
which
the horn
was speaking;
I kept
looking
until
the beast
was slain,
and its body
was destroyed
and given
to the burning
fire.
12
"As for the rest
of the beasts,
their dominion
was taken away,
but an extension
of life
was granted
to them for an appointed period
of time.
13
"I kept
looking
in the night
visions,
And behold,
with the clouds
of heaven
One like a Son
of Man
was coming,
And He came
up to the Ancient
of Days
And was presented
before
Him.
14
"And to Him was given
dominion
,
Glory
and a kingdom,
That all
the peoples,
nations
and men of every language
Might serve
Him. His
dominion
is an everlasting
dominion
Which
will not pass away;
And His kingdom
is one
Which
will not be destroyed.
15
"As for me, Daniel,
my spirit
was distressed
within
me, and the visions
in my mind
kept alarming
me.
16
"I approached
one
of those who were standing
by and began asking
him the exact meaning
of all
this.
So he told
me and made known
to me the interpretation
of these things:
17
These
great
beasts,
which
are four
in number,
are four
kings
who will arise
from the earth.
18
'
But the saints
of the Highest One
will receive
the kingdom
and possess
the kingdom
forever,
for all
ages to come.'
19
"Then
I desired
to know the exact meaning
of the fourth
beast,
which
was different
from all
the others, exceedingly
dreadful,
with its teeth
of iron
and its claws
of bronze,
and
which
devoured,
crushed
and trampled down
the remainder
with its feet,
20
and the meaning of the ten
horns
that were on its head
and the other
horn which
came
up, and before
which three
of them fell,
namely, that horn
which had eyes
and a mouth
uttering
great boasts and which was larger
in appearance
than
its associates.
21
"I kept
looking,
and that horn
was waging
war
with the saints
and overpowering
them
22
until
the Ancient
of Days
came
and judgment
was passed
in favor of the saints
of the Highest One,
and the time
arrived
when the saints
took possession
of the kingdom.
23
"Thus
he said:
'The fourth
beast
will be a fourth
kingdom
on the
earth
,
which
will be different
from all
the other kingdoms
and will devour
the whole
earth
and tread it down
and crush
it.
24
'
As for the
ten
horns,
out of this kingdom
ten
kings
will arise
;
and another
will arise
after
them, and he will be different
from the previous ones
and will subdue
three
kings
.
25
'
He will speak
out against
the Most High
and wear down
the saints
of the Highest One,
and he will intend
to make alterations
in times
and in law;
and they will be given
into his hand
for a time,
times,
and half
a time.
26
But the court
will sit
for judgment, and his dominion
will be taken away,
annihilated
and destroyed
forever.
27
Then the sovereignty,
the dominion
and the greatness
of all the kingdoms
under
the whole
heaven
will be given
to the people
of the saints
of the Highest One;
His kingdom
will be an everlasting
kingdom,
and all
the dominion
s
will serve
and obey
Him.'
28
"At this point
the revelation
ended.
As for me, Daniel,
my thoughts
were greatly
alarming
me and my face
grew pale,
but I kept
the matter
to myself."
