Daniel 7:9-28
New American Standard Bible
The Ancient of Days Reigns
9 “I kept looking
Until (A)thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His (B)garment was white as snow,
And the (C)hair of His head like pure wool.
His (D)throne was [a]ablaze with flames,
Its (E)wheels were a burning fire.
10 A river of (F)fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
(G)Thousands upon thousands were serving Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The (H)court [b]convened,
And (I)the books were opened.
11 Then I kept looking because of the sound of the [c]boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was killed, and its body was destroyed and given to the (J)burning [d]fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.
The Son of Man Presented
13 “I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a son of man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
14 And to Him was given (K)dominion,
Honor, and [e](L)a kingdom,
(M)So that all the peoples, nations, and populations of all [f]languages
Might serve Him.
(N)His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
(O)And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.
The Vision Interpreted
15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within [g]me, and the (P)visions [h]in my mind kept (Q)alarming me. 16 I approached one of those who were (R)standing by and began requesting of him the [i]exact meaning of all this. So he (S)told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17 ‘These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. 18 But the [j](T)saints of the Highest One will (U)receive the kingdom and take possession of the kingdom forever, [k]for all ages to come.’
19 “Then I desired to know the [l]exact meaning of the (V)fourth beast, which was different from all [m]the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed, and trampled down the remainder with its feet, 20 and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three of the horns fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts, and [n]which was larger in appearance than its associates. 21 I kept looking, and that horn was (W)waging war with the [o]saints and prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and (X)judgment was [p]passed in favor of the [q]saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the [r]saints took possession of the kingdom.
23 “This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth which will be different from all the other kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth and trample it down and crush it. 24 As for the (Y)ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will [s]humble three kings. 25 And he will [t](Z)speak against the (AA)Most High and (AB)wear down the [u]saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make (AC)alterations in times and in law; and [v]they will be handed over to him for a [w](AD)time, [x]times, and half a [y]time. 26 But the court will [z]convene for judgment, and his dominion will be (AE)taken away, [aa]annihilated and destroyed [ab]forever. 27 Then the [ac](AF)sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the [ad]saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an (AG)everlasting kingdom, and all the empires will (AH)serve and obey Him.’
28 “[ae]At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were (AI)greatly alarming me and my [af]face became pale, but I (AJ)kept the matter [ag]to myself.”

Daniel 7:9-28
New International Version
Daniel 7:9-28
New International Version
9 “As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days(A) took his seat.(B)
His clothing was as white as snow;(C)
the hair of his head was white like wool.(D)
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels(E) were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire(F) was flowing,
coming out from before him.(G)
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
and the books(H) were opened.
11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking.(I) I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.(J) 12 (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)
13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a](K) coming(L) with the clouds of heaven.(M) He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority,(N) glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him.(O) His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom(P) is one that will never be destroyed.(Q)
The Interpretation of the Dream
15 “I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me.(R) 16 I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this.
“So he told me and gave me the interpretation(S) of these things: 17 ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth. 18 But the holy people(T) of the Most High will receive the kingdom(U) and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’(V)
19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns(W) 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.(X) 21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them,(Y) 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.(Z)
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.(AA) 24 The ten horns(AB) 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. 25 He will speak against the Most High(AC) and oppress his holy people(AD) and try to change the set times(AE) and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.[b](AF)
26 “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed(AG) forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms(AH) under heaven will be handed over to the holy people(AI) of the Most High.(AJ) His kingdom will be an everlasting(AK) kingdom, and all rulers will worship(AL) and obey him.’
28 “This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled(AM) by my thoughts,(AN) and my face turned pale,(AO) but I kept the matter to myself.”
