7:9 “While I was watching,
thrones were set up,
and the Ancient of Days
His attire was white like snow;
the hair of his head was like lamb’s
His throne was ablaze with fire
and its wheels were all aflame.
7:10 A river of fire was streaming forth
and proceeding from his presence.
Many thousands were ministering to him;
Many tens of thousands stood ready to serve him.
The court convened
and the books were opened.
7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching
“And with
one like a son of man
He went up to the Ancient of Days
and was escorted
7:14 To him was given ruling authority, honor, and sovereignty.
All peoples, nations, and language groups were serving
His authority is eternal and will not pass away.
His kingdom will not be destroyed.
7:23 “This is what he told me:
‘The fourth beast means that there will be a fourth kingdom on earth
that will differ from all the other kingdoms.
It will devour all the earth
and will trample and crush it.
7:24 The ten horns
mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom.
Another king will arise after them,
but he will be different from the earlier ones.
He will humiliate
7:25 He will speak words against the Most High.
He will harass
His intention
They will be delivered into his hand
For a time, times,
7:26 But the court will convene,
destroyed and abolished forever!
7:27 Then the kingdom, authority,
and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven
will be delivered to the people of the holy ones
His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;
all authorities will serve him and obey him.’
