Daniel 7:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 These great beasts which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
18 And they shall take the [a]kingdom of the Saints of the [b]most High, and shall possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.
19 ¶ After this, I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was [c]so unlike to all the others, very fearful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass: which devoured brake in pieces, and stamped the [d]residue under his feet.
