In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and a vision of his mind in bed; afterward he wrote down the dream. Beginning the account,
The first was like a lion but had eagles’ wings. As I looked on, its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted off the ground and set on its feet like a human and given a human mind.
Then I saw a second, different beast, which was like a bear but raised on one side, and with three fangs in its mouth among its teeth; it was told, ‘Arise, eat much meat!’
After that, as I looked on, there was another one, like a leopard, and it had on its back four wings like those of a bird; the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
After that, as I looked on in the night vision, there was a fourth beast—fearsome, dreadful, and very powerful, with great iron teeth—that devoured and crushed, and stamped the remains with its feet. It was different from all the other beasts that had gone before it; and it had ten horns.
While I was gazing upon these horns, a new little horn sprouted up among them; three of the older horns were uprooted to make room for it. There were eyes in this horn like those of a human, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.
As I looked on,Thrones were set in place,And the Ancient of Days took a seat—Wearing a garment like white snow,And with hair like lamb’salamb’s Or “clean.” wool.This throne was tongues of flame;Its wheels were blazing fire;
A river of fire streamed forth from it.Thousands upon thousands rendered service;Myriads upon myriads stood in attendance;The court sat and the books were opened.
I looked on. Then, because of the arrogant words that the horn spoke, the beast was killed as I looked on; its body was destroyed and it was consigned to the flames.

The dominion of the other beasts was taken away, but an extension of life was given to them for a time and season.
Dominion, glory, and kingship were given to him;All peoples and nations of every language must serve him.His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away,And his kingship, one that shall not be destroyed.

As for me, Daniel, my spirit was disturbed within me and the vision of my mind alarmed me.
Then I wanted to ascertain the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from them all, very fearsome, with teeth of iron, claws of bronze, that devoured and crushed, and stamped the remains;
and of the ten horns on its head; and of the new one that sprouted, to make room for which three fell—the horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, and which was more conspicuous than its fellows.

(I looked on as that horn made war with the holy ones and overcame them,
until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was rendered in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, for the time had come, and the holy ones took possession of the kingdom.)
This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast [means]—there will be a fourth kingdom upon the earth that will be different from all the kingdoms; it will devour the whole earth, tread it down, and crush it.
And the ten horns [mean]—from that kingdom, ten kings will arise, and after them another will arise. He will be different from the former ones, and will bring low three kings.
He will speak words against the Most High, and will harass the holy ones of the Most High. He will think of changing times and laws, and they will be delivered into his power for a time, times, and half a time.ctime, times, and half a time I.e., a year, two years, and a half a year.

Then the court will sit and his dominion will be taken away, to be destroyed and abolished for all time.
The kingship and dominion and grandeur belonging to all the kingdoms under Heaven will be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. Their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.’”
