Chapter 4: Of the Vision of the Four Beasts
1
- In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed. He wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
2
Daniel saw four great beasts come up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings.
3
- The wings were plucked, and the beast was lifted from the earth and made to stand upon its feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
4
- The second beast was like a bear. It raised itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth. It was told to arise and devour much flesh.
5
- The third beast was like a leopard, with four wings of a fowl and four heads. Dominion was given to it.
6
- The fourth beast was dreadful, terrible, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth, devouring and breaking in pieces, and stamping the residue with its feet. It was diverse from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
7
- Among the ten horns there came up another little horn, before whom three of the first horns were plucked up. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things.
8
- Daniel beheld until thrones were set, and the Ancient of Days sat, whose garment was white as snow and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was like a fiery flame.
9
- Thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The judgment was set and the books were opened.
10
- Daniel saw the beast slain and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. The other beasts had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season.
11
- Daniel saw one like the Son of Man come with the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days, and dominion, glory, and a kingdom were given to Him.
12
- His kingdom is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed.
13
- Daniel was grieved in his spirit, and the visions troubled him. He approached one standing by and asked the truth of all this.
14
- He was told that the four beasts are four kings which shall arise out of the earth, but the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom and possess it forever.
