They shalbe geuen vnder hys power, vntyll a tyme, two tymes, & halfe a tyme. ²⁶ But the iudgement shalbe kepte, so that hys power shalbe taken from him, for he shall be destroyed, and peryssh at the last. ²⁷ As for the kyngdome, power and all might that is vnder the heauen: it shalbe geuen to the holy people of the moost hyest, whose kyngdome is euerlastynge: yee, all powers shall serue and obeye hym. ²⁸ Thus farre extende the wordes.
