Dan 2:40-45, 7:7, 12-14, 19-21, 23, Rev 13:1-8, 18, 17:3-8, 12, 19:19 | ESV | STEP | And there shall be a fourth kingdom , strong as iron , because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes , it shall break and crush all these .

40 And ^athere shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron ^bbreaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall ^cbreak and crush all these. 41 And as you saw ^dthe feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the ^efirmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, ^{▼▼Aramaic by the seed of men} but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. 44 And in the days of those kings ^gthe God of heaven will set up ^ha kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. ⁱIt shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and ^jit shall stand forever, 45 just as ^kyou saw that ^la stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that ^mit broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A ⁿgreat God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”

Daniel 7:7

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, ^oterrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; ^pit devoured and broke in pieces ^qand stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and ^rit had ten horns.

Daniel 7:12-14

12 As for the rest of the beasts, ^stheir dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

13 “I saw in the night visions,

and ^tbehold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the ^uAncient of Days
and was presented before him.
14 ^vAnd to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all ^wpeoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
^xhis dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.

Revelation of John 13:1-8

The First Beast

1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, ^acwith ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and ^adblasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was ^aelike a leopard; its feet were like ^afa bear’s, and its mouth was like ^aga lion’s mouth. And to it ^ahthe dragon gave his power and ^aihis throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and ^ajthe whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, ^ak“Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”

5 And the beast was given ^ala mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for ^amforty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, ^{▼▼Or tabernacle} that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed ^aoto make war on the saints and to conquer them. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit this sentence} And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all ^aqwho dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in ^arthe book of life of ^asthe Lamb ^atwho was slain.

Revelation of John 13:18

Revelation of John 17:3-8

3 And ^axhe carried me away in the Spirit ^ayinto a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on ^aza scarlet beast that was full of ^bablasphemous names, and ^bbit had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman ^bcwas arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned ^bdwith gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand ^bea golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of ^bfmystery: ^bg“Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk ^bhwith the blood of the saints, the blood of ^bithe martyrs of Jesus. ^{▼▼Greek the witnesses to Jesus}

When I saw her, I marveled greatly. 7 But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you ^bkthe mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw ^blwas, and is not, and ^bmis about to rise from ^bnthe bottomless pit ^{▼▼Greek the abyss} and ^bpgo to destruction. And ^bqthe dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in ^brthe book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because ^bsit was and is not and is to come.
