Daniel 7:23-25
Living Bible
23 “This fourth animal,” he told me, “is the fourth world power[a] that will rule the earth. It will be more brutal than any of the others; it will devour the whole world, destroying everything before it. 24 His ten horns are ten kings that will rise out of his empire; then another king[b] will arise, more brutal than the other ten, and will destroy three of them. 25 He will defy the Most High God and wear down the saints with persecution, and he will try to change all laws, morals, and customs.[c] God’s people will be helpless in his hands for three and a half years.

It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.(A) 24 The ten horns(B) 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(C) and oppress his holy people(D) and try to change the set times(E) and the laws.
