Daniel 7

1 Daniel's vision of four beasts. 9 Of God's Kingdom. 15 The interpretation thereof.

 7:1 In the first 2298 year 8140 of Belshazzar 1113 king 4430 of Babylon 895 Daniel 1841 saw 2370 a dream 2493 and visions 2376 in his mind 7217 [as he lay] on his bed 4903; then 116 he wrote 3790 the dream 2493 down 3790 [and] related 560 the [following] summary 7217 of it.

 7:2 Daniel 1841 said 6032 560, “I was looking 2370 in my vision 2376 by night 3916, and behold 718, the four 703 winds 7308 of heaven 8065 were stirring 1519 up the great 7229 sea 3221.

 7:3 “And four 703 great 7229 beasts 2423 were coming 5559b up from the sea 3221, different 8133 from one 1668 another 1668.

 7:4 “The first 6933 [was] like a lion 744 and had [the] wings 1611 of an eagle 5403. I kept 1934 looking 2370 until 5705 1768 its wings 1611 were plucked 4804, and it was lifted 5191 up from the ground 772 and made 6966 to stand 6966 on two feet 7271 like a man 606; a human 606 mind 3825 also was given 3052 to it.

 7:5 “And behold 718, another 321 beast 2423, a second 8578 one, resembling 1821 a bear 1678. And it was raised 6966 up on one 2298 side 7859, and three 8532 ribs 5967 [were] in its mouth 6433 between 997 its teeth 8128; and thus 3652 they said 560 to it, ‘Arise 6966, devour 399 much 7690 meat 1321!’

 7:6 “After 870 this 1836 I kept 1934 looking 2370, and behold 718, another 321 one, like a leopard 5245, which 1768 had on its back 1355 four 703 wings 1611 of a bird 5776; the beast 2423 also had four 703 heads 7217, and dominion 7985 was given 3052 to it.

 7:7 “After 870 this 1836 I kept 1934 looking 2370 in the night 3916 visions 2376, and behold 718, a fourth 7244 beast 2423, dreadful 1763 and terrifying 368b and extremely 3493 strong 8624; and it had large 7229 iron 6523 teeth 8128. It devoured 399 and crushed 1855 and trampled 7512 down 7512 the remainder 7606 with its feet 7271; and it was different 8133 from all 3606 the beasts 2423 that were before 6925 it, and it had ten 6236 horns 7162.

 7:8 “While I was contemplating 7920 the horns 7162, behold 431, another 321 horn 7162, a little 2192 one 2192, came 5559b up among 997 them, and three 8532 of the first 6933 horns 7162 were pulled 6132 out by the roots 6132 before 4481 6925 it; and behold 431, this 1668 horn 7162 possessed eyes 5870a like the eyes 5870a of a man 606 and a mouth 6433 uttering 4449 great 7229 [boasts].

 7:9 ¶ “I kept 1934 looking 2370 Until 5705 1768 thrones 3764 were set 7412 up, And the Ancient 6268 of Days 3118 took 3488 [His] seat 3488; His vesture 3831 [was] like white 2358 snow 8517 And the hair 8177 of His head 7217 like pure 5343 wool 6015. His throne 3764 [was] ablaze 7631 with flames 7631, Its wheels 1535 [were] a burning 1815 fire 5135.

 7:10 “A river 5103 of fire 5135 was flowing 5047 And coming 5312 out from before 6925 Him; Thousands 506 upon thousands 506 were attending 8120 Him, And myriads 7240 upon myriads 7240 were standing 6966 before 6925 Him; The court 1780 sat 3488, And the books 5609 were opened 6606.

 7:11 “Then 116 I kept 1934 looking 2370 because 4481 of the sound 7032a of the boastful 7229 words 4406 which 1768 the horn 7162 was speaking 4449; I kept 1934 looking 2370 until 5705 1768 the beast 2423 was slain 6992, and its body 1655 was destroyed 7 and given 3052 to the burning 3346 fire 785.

 7:12 “As for the rest 7606 of the beasts 2423, their dominion 7985 was taken 5709 away 5709, but an extension 754 of life 2417 was granted 3052 to them for an appointed 2166 period 2166 of time 5732.

 7:13 ¶ “I kept 1934 looking 2370 in the night 3916 visions 2376, And behold 718, with the clouds 6050 of heaven 8065 One like a Son 1247 of Man 606 was coming 858, And He came 4291 up to the Ancient 6268 of Days 3118 And was presented 7127 before 6925 Him.

 7:14 “And to Him was given 3052 dominion 7985, Glory 3367 and a kingdom 4437, That all 3606 the peoples 5972, nations 524 and [men of every] language 3961 Might serve 6399 Him. His dominion 7985 is an everlasting 5957 dominion 7985 Which 1768 will not pass 5709 away 5709; And His kingdom 4437 is one Which 1768 will not be destroyed 2255.

 7:15 ¶ “As for me, Daniel 1841, my spirit 7308 was distressed 3735 within 1459 me, and the visions 2376 in my mind 7217 kept alarming 927 me.

 7:16 “I approached 7127 one 2298 of those who were standing 6966 by and began asking 1156 him the exact 3330a meaning 3330a of all 3606 this 1836. So he told 560 me and made 3046 known 3046 to me the interpretation 6591 of these things 4406:

 7:17 ‘These 459 great 7229 beasts 2423, which 1768 are four 703 [in number], are four 703 kings 4430 [who] will arise 6966 from the earth 772.

 7:18 ‘But the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946 will receive 6902 the kingdom 4437 and possess 2631 the kingdom 4437 forever 5957, for all 5957 ages 5957 to come 5957.’

 7:19 ¶ “Then 116 I desired 6634 to know 3321 the exact 3321 meaning 3321 of the fourth 7244 beast 2423, which 1768 was different 8133 from all 3606 the others, exceedingly 3493 dreadful 1763, with its teeth 8128 of iron 6523 and its claws 2953 of bronze 5174, [and which] devoured 399, crushed 1855 and trampled 7512 down 7512 the remainder 7606 with its feet 7271,

 7:20 and [the meaning] of the ten 6236 horns 7162 that [were] on its head 7217 and the other 321 [horn] which 1768 came 5559b up, and before 4481 6925 which three 8532 [of them] fell 5308, namely, that horn 7162 which had eyes 5870a and a mouth 6433 uttering 4449 great 7229 [boasts] and which was larger 7229 in appearance 2376 than 4481 its associates 2273.

 7:21 “I kept 1934 looking 2370, and that horn 7162 was waging 5648 war 7129 with the saints 6922 and overpowering 3202 them

 7:22 until 5705 1768 the Ancient 6268 of Days 3118 came 858 and judgment 1780 was passed 3052 in favor of the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946, and the time 2166 arrived 4291 when the saints 6922 took 2631 possession 2631 of the kingdom 4437.

 7:23 ¶ “Thus 3652 he said 560: ‘The fourth 7244 beast 2423 will be a fourth 7244 kingdom 4437 on the earth 772, which 1768 will be different 8133 from all 3606 the [other] kingdoms 4437 and will devour 399 the whole 3606 earth 772 and tread 1759 it down 1759 and crush 1855 it.

 7:24 ‘As for the ten 6236 horns 7162, out of this kingdom 4437 ten 6236 kings 4430 will arise 6966; and another 321 will arise 6966 after 311 them, and he will be different 8133 from the previous 6933 ones 6933 and will subdue 8214 three 8532 kings 4430.

 7:25 ‘He will speak 4449 out against 6655 the Most 5943 High 5943 and wear 1080 down 1080 the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946, and he will intend 5452 to make 8133 alterations 8133 in times 2166 and in law 1882; and they will be given 3052 into his hand 3028 for a time 5732, times 5732, and half 6387 a time 5732.

 7:26 ‘But the court 1780 will sit 3488 [for judgment], and his dominion 7985 will be taken 5709 away 5709, annihilated 8046a and destroyed 7 forever 5491.

 7:27 ‘Then the sovereignty 4437, the dominion 7985 and the greatness 7238 of [all] the kingdoms 4437 under 8460 the whole 3606 heaven 8065 will be given 3052 to the people 5972 of the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946; His kingdom 4437 [will be] an everlasting 5957 kingdom 4437, and all 3606 the dominions 7985 will serve 6399 and obey 8086 Him.’

 7:28 ¶ “At this 3542 point 3542 the revelation 4406 ended 5491. As for me, Daniel 1841, my thoughts 7476 were greatly 7690 alarming 927 me and my face 2122 grew 8133 pale 8133, but I kept 5202 the matter 4406 to myself 3821.”
