1In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream. When he was on his bed, he saw visions in his head. Then he wrote down the dream by recording the main points.[#7:1 About 553 BC, after Daniel had been in exile more than 50 years]
2Daniel said:
15I, Daniel—my spirit was distressed within my body, and the visions in my head disturbed me.
16I approached one of those standing there, and I asked him for the truth about all this. So he spoke to me and made the meaning of these visions clear to me.
17“These great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
18But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and they will possess the kingdom forever—yes, forever and ever.”[#7:18 Or holy people]
19Then I wanted to be certain about that fourth beast that was different from all the others. It was very frightening. Its teeth were iron, and its claws were bronze. It devoured and crushed, and whatever was left it trampled with its feet.
20I also wanted to be certain about the ten horns on its head, about the other horn that came up, and about the three horns that fell to make room for it. What is more, that horn had eyes and a mouth that was speaking boastful things. Its appearance was greater than that of the other horns that were with it.
21I kept watching, and that horn made war against the saints and prevailed over them,
22until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was rendered in favor of the saints of the Most High. Then the time came, and the saints took possession of the kingdom.
23So this is what he said to me:
28This was the end of the matter. I, Daniel—my thoughts troubled me greatly. My appearance changed and my face became pale, but I kept the matter to myself.
