Daniel 7:17
15 I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
16 I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
18 But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
19 Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
