CHAP. VII.
1 Daniels vision of foure beastes. 9 Of Gods kingdome. 15 The interpretation thereof.
1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dreame, and visions of his head vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and tolde the summe of the matters.1
3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea, diuers one from another.
4 The first was like a Lyon, and had Eagles wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were pluckt, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and made stand vpon the feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen to it.4
5 And behold, another beast, a second, like to a Beare, and it raised vp it selfe on one side, and it had three ribbes in the mouth of it betweene the teeth of it, and they said thus vnto it, Arise, deuoure much flesh.5
10 A fierie streame issued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousands ministred vnto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes were opened.10
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their liues were prolonged for a season and time.12
14 And there was giuen him dominion and glory, and a kingdome, that all people, nations, and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall not passe away; and his kingdome that, which shall not be destroyed.14
15 ¶ I Daniel was grieued in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.15
17 These great beasts, which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the Saints of the most high shall take the kingdome, & possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer & euer.18
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diuerse from al the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse, which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feete,19
21 I beheld, and the same horne made warre with the Saints, and preuailed against them;
27 And the kingdome and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen, shall be giuen to the people of the Saints of the most high, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and all dominions shall serue and obey him.27
