Daniel 7:21-28

New King James Version

²¹“I was watching; ^(A)and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, ²²until the Ancient of Days came, ^(B)and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

²³“Thus he said:

‘The fourth beast shall be
^(C)A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
²⁴^(D)The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
²⁵^(E)He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall ^(F)persecute^[a] the saints of the Most High,
And shall ^(G)intend to change times and law.
Then ^(H)the saints shall be given into his hand
^(I)For a time and times and half a time.

²⁶‘But^(J) the court shall be seated,
And they shall ^(K)take away his dominion,
To consume and destroy it forever.
²⁷Then the ^(L)kingdom and dominion,
And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
^(M)His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
^(N)And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’

²⁸“This is the end of the ^[b]account. As for me, Daniel, ^(O)my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed; but I ^(P)kept the matter in my heart.”
