00:00.000 --> 00:05.080
Chapter Seven In the first year of
Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel had a

00:05.080 --> 00:07.120
dream and visions of his head upon his
bed.

00:07.860 --> 00:10.360
Then he wrote the dream and told the sum
of the matters.

00:11.080 --> 00:16.420
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision
by night, and behold, the four winds of

00:16.420 --> 00:21.780
the heaven strove upon the great sea,
and four great beasts came up from the

00:21.780 --> 00:23.340
sea, diverse one from another.

00:23.960 --> 00:26.640
The first was like a lion and had eagle's
wings.

00:27.320 --> 00:31.160
I beheld till the wings thereof were
plucked, and it was lifted up from the

00:31.160 --> 00:35.560
earth, and made stand upon the feet as a
man, and a man's heart was given to it.

00:35.900 --> 00:41.420
And behold, another beast, a second like
to a bear, and it raised up itself on one

00:41.420 --> 00:45.320
side, and it had three ribs in the mouth
of it between the teeth of it.

00:45.780 --> 00:50.120
And they said thus unto it, Arise,
devour much flesh.

00:50.800 --> 00:54.960
After this I beheld, and lo, another like
a leopard, which had upon the back of it

00:54.960 --> 00:56.780
four wings of a fowl.

00:57.220 --> 01:00.640
The beast had also four heads,
and dominion was given to it.

01:01.120 --> 01:06.320
After this I saw in the night visions,
and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and

01:06.320 --> 01:11.060
terrible, and strong exceedingly,
and it had great iron teeth.

01:11.580 --> 01:15.640
It devoured and break in pieces,
and stamped the residue with the feet of

01:15.640 --> 01:20.600
it, and it was diverse from all the beasts
that were before it, and it had ten horns.

01:21.340 --> 01:25.200
I considered the horns, and behold,
there came up among them another little

01:25.200 --> 01:29.320
horn, before whom there were three of the
first horns plucked up by the roots.

01:29.880 --> 01:35.040
And behold, in this horn were eyes like
the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking

01:35.040 --> 01:36.060
great things.

01:36.760 --> 01:41.240
I beheld till the thrones were cast down,
and the Ancient of Days did sit,

01:41.440 --> 01:44.980
whose garment was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like the pure

01:44.980 --> 01:45.340
wool.

01:45.960 --> 01:50.460
His throne was like the fiery flame,
and his wheels as burning fire.

01:50.940 --> 01:53.780
A fiery stream issued and came forth from
before him.

01:54.700 --> 02:00.940
Thousand thousands ministered unto him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood

02:00.940 --> 02:01.520
before him.

02:02.140 --> 02:04.760
The judgment was set, and the books were
opened.

02:05.240 --> 02:08.820
I beheld then, because of the voice of the
great words which the horn spake,

02:09.460 --> 02:14.460
I beheld even till the beast was slain,
and his body destroyed, and given to the

02:14.460 --> 02:15.140
burning flame.

02:15.620 --> 02:19.400
As concerning the rest of the beasts,
they had their dominion taken away,

02:19.880 --> 02:22.600
yet their lives were prolonged for a
season and time.

02:23.140 --> 02:27.840
I saw in the night visions, and behold,
one like the Son of Man came with the

02:27.840 --> 02:32.200
clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient
of Days, and they brought him near before

02:32.200 --> 02:32.520
him.

02:33.040 --> 02:37.800
And there was given him dominion,
and glory, and a kingdom, that all people,

02:38.260 --> 02:40.440
nations, and languages should serve him.

02:40.960 --> 02:45.940
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away, and his kingdom

02:45.940 --> 02:47.840
that which shall not be destroyed.

02:48.600 --> 02:52.640
I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit in the
midst of my body, and the visions of my

02:52.640 --> 02:53.460
head troubled me.

02:54.060 --> 02:57.880
I came near unto one of them that stood
by, and asked him the truth of all this.

02:58.380 --> 03:01.840
So he told me, and made me know the
interpretation of the things.

03:02.540 --> 03:06.840
These great beasts, which are four,
are four kings, which shall arise out of

03:06.840 --> 03:07.200
the earth.

03:07.800 --> 03:11.420
But the saints of the Most High shall take
the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for

03:11.420 --> 03:13.460
ever, even for ever and ever.

03:14.380 --> 03:17.720
Then I would know the truth of the fourth
beast, which was diverse from all the

03:17.720 --> 03:21.760
others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth
were of iron, and his nails of brass,

03:21.980 --> 03:26.180
which devoured, break in pieces,
and stamped the residue with his feet.

03:26.820 --> 03:30.940
And of the ten horns that were in his
head, and of the other which came up,

03:31.160 --> 03:36.580
and before whom three fell, even of that
horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake

03:36.580 --> 03:40.200
very great things, whose look was more
stout than his fellows.

03:40.760 --> 03:45.440
I beheld, and the same horn made war with
the saints, and prevailed against them.

03:45.980 --> 03:49.380
Until the Ancient of Days came,
and judgment was given to the saints of

03:49.380 --> 03:52.880
the Most High, and the time came that the
saints possessed the kingdom.

03:53.500 --> 03:57.420
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be
the fourth kingdom upon earth,

03:57.640 --> 04:01.680
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms,
and shall devour the whole earth,

04:01.980 --> 04:04.360
and shall tread it down, and break it in
pieces.

04:05.260 --> 04:09.000
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are
ten kings that shall arise.

04:09.700 --> 04:13.400
And another shall rise after them,
and he shall be diverse from the first,

04:13.760 --> 04:16.180
and he shall subdue three kings.

04:16.780 --> 04:20.760
And he shall speak great words against the
Most High, and shall wear out the saints

04:20.760 --> 04:23.840
of the Most High, and think to change
times and laws.

04:24.380 --> 04:28.740
And they shall be given into his hand
until a time and times, and the dividing

04:28.740 --> 04:29.300
of time.

04:30.060 --> 04:34.880
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall
take away his dominion, to consume and to

04:34.880 --> 04:36.080
destroy it unto the end.

04:36.700 --> 04:40.360
And the kingdom and dominion and the
greatness of the kingdom unto the whole

04:40.360 --> 04:44.860
heaven shall be given to the people of the
saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is

04:44.860 --> 04:49.160
an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions
shall serve and obey him.

04:49.560 --> 04:51.040
Hitherto is the end of the matter.

04:51.520 --> 04:56.260
As for me, Daniel, my cogitations much
troubled me, and my countenance changed in

04:56.260 --> 04:58.620
me, but I kept the matter in my heart.
