Daniel 7:16-18

CLV(i) 16 I draw near to one of the risers, and as to the certainty of all this am I petitioning him. Then he speaks to me, and the interpretation of the matter is he making known to me." 17 These monstrous animals, the four of them, are four kingdoms which will perish from the earth." 18 Yet the saints of the supremacies shall receive the kingdom and they will safeguard the kingdom unto the eon, even unto the eon of the eons."
