IN the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts. Daniel spoke, saying, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. "And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. "The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wing. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man`s heart was given to it. "And suddendly another beast, a second, like a bear, It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it arise, devour much flesh!' "After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. "After this I saw in the vision, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devoured, breaking in pieces, and tramped the residue with its feet. It was differnt from it, and it had ten horns. "I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. "I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. "I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. "As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. "I was watching in the night vision, and One like the Son of Man / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / LORD / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock / our Lord coming with clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed." I Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, and the vision of my head troubled me. "I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth by and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things. 'Those great beasts, which are four, are four kings arise out of the earth. 'But the saints of the Most High shall recieve the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.' "Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trempled the residue with its feet. "And the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearnce was greater than his fellows." I was watching; the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevail against them, "Until the Ancient of Days came, and a judment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom. "Thus he said: The fourth beast shall be a forth kingdom on earth, which shall be differnt from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth it and break it and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; he shall be differnt from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings. He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time. 'But the court shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it forever. Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him. "This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed; but I kept the matter im my heart. DANIEL 7:1-28
THE burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear? Even cry out to You, ''Violence!" And You will not save. Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention arises. Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surrond the righteous; therefore perverse judgment proceeds. ''Look among the nations and watch - be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you. For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, a bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not their. They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and more fierce than evening wolves.Their chargers charge ahead; their cavalry comes from afar; they fly as the eagle that hastens to eat. They all come for violence; their faces are set like the east wind.They gather captives like sand. They scoff at kings, and princes are scorned by them.They deride every stronghold, for they heap up earthen mounds and seize it. Then his mind changes, and he transgress; he commit offense, ascribing this power to his god. Are You not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / LORD / One like the Son of Man / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / our Lord You have marked them for correction. You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness. Why do You look on those who deal tracherously, and hold Your tongue when the wicked devours a person more righteous than he? Why do You make the terrible / this world / men like fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler over them? They take up all of them with a hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their dragnet. Therefore they rejoice and are glad. Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their dragnet; because by them their share is sumptuous and their food plentiful. Shall they therefore empty their net, and continue to slay nations without pity? HABAKKUK 1:1-17
"For as I passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD / The LORD God / The LORD our God / LORD / One like the Son of Man / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock / our Lord. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you. "God, who / LORD / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / One like the Son of Man / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock / our Lord made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. "Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, an all things. "And He had made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaried of their dwelling, "So that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far each one of us; ACTS 17:23-27
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithul and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / LORD / One like the Son of Man / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock / our Lord. And the armies in heaven, clothed in the fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His rob and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in he midst of heaven, "Come and gather togather for the super of the great God. "That you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great. And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered togather to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he decieved those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh. REVELATION 19:11-21
"And I will give power to my two witness, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." These are two olive tree and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. And if anyone want to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophesy; and they have power over water to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the streets of the great city which spirtually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / LORD / One like the Son of Man / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock / our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their died bodies three - and - a - half days, and not alow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gift to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. Now after the three-and-a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet,and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here, and they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to God of heaven. The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly. Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / LORD / One like the Son of Man / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock and of His Christ / the man / the likeness of the glory of the LORD / new wine / Your companions, and He shall reign forever and ever!" And the twenty - four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, Saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was and who is to come, because You have taken Your great power and reignes. Then nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth." Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there was lightening, noises thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. REVELATION 11:3-19
Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, And in the midst of the seven lampstands One like Son of Man / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / LORD / One like the Son of Man / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock / our Lord, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furance, and His voice as sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two - edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shinning in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the Last. "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forever. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. "Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. "The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches. REVELATION 1:12-20
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man / The LORD God / The LORD our God / THE UNKNOWN GOD / LORD / The Word of God / Lord of heaven and earth / the First and the Last / O Rock / our Lord, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe." So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. REVELATION 14:14-16
