Daniel 7:17-28 These great beasts are four kings who will be cut off from the earth.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ These great beasts are four kings who will be cut off from the earth. ¹⁸ But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever. ¹⁹ Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet; ²⁰ And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns. ²¹ And I saw how that horn made war on the saints and overcame them, ²² Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom. ²³ This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it. ²⁴ And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings. ²⁵ And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time. ²⁶ But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it. ²⁷ And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure. ²⁸ Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.
