Daniel 7:17-23 American Standard Version (ASV)

17. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.

18. But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

19. Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;

20. and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.

21. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

22. until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

23. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
