Daniel 7:20–26

²⁰I also wanted to know about the ten horns^a on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully.^{b 21}As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them,^{c 22}until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.^d

²³“He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.^{e 24}The ten horns^f are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. ²⁵He will speak against the Most High^g and oppress his holy people^h and try to change the set timesⁱ and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.^bj

²⁶“ ‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed^k forever.
