Daniel 7:13–17

13 I continued watching in the night visions,

and suddenly one like a son of manab

was coming with the clouds of heaven.ac

He approached the Ancient of Days

and was escorted before him.

14 He was given dominionad

and glory and a kingdom,

so that those of every people,

nation, and languageae

should serveaf him.

His dominion is an everlastingag dominion

that will not pass away,

and his kingdom is one

that will not be destroyed.

INTERPRETATION OF THE VISION

15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was deeply distressed within me,A and the visions in my mind terrified me.ah 16 I approached one of those who were standing by and asked himai to clarify all this. So he let me know the interpretation of these things:aj 17 ‘These huge beasts, four in number, are four kings who will rise from the earth.
