Read word by wordSource alternate reference: 6.29
In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.
Read word by wordDaniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
Read word by wordThen four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
Read word by wordThe first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man and given the mind of a man.
Read word by wordNext, as I watched, suddenly another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
Read word by wordAfter this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
Read word by wordWhile I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
Read word by wordA river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
Read word by wordThen I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
Read word by wordAs for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.
Read word by wordIn my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
Read word by wordAnd He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Read word by wordI approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
Read word by word‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
Read word by wordBut the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
Read word by wordThen I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
Read word by wordI also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
Read word by wordAs I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them,
Read word by worduntil the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.
