7 “After that, in my vision at night I saw in front of me a fourth animal that was cruel, terrible, and very strong. It had large iron teeth. It crushed and ate what it killed, and then it walked on whatever was left. This fourth animal was different from any animal I had seen before, and it had ten horns.
8 “While I was thinking about the horns, another horn grew up among them. It was a little horn with eyes like a human’s eyes. It also had a mouth, and the mouth was bragging. The little horn pulled out three of the other horns.
9 “As I looked,thrones were put in their places,and God, the Eternal One, sat on his throne.His clothes were white like snow,and the hair on his head was white like wool.His throne was made from fire,and the wheels of his throne were blazing with fire.
10 A river of fire was flowingfrom in front of him.Many thousands of angels were serving him,and millions of angels stood before him.Court was ready to begin,and the books were opened.
11 “I kept on looking because the little horn was bragging. I kept watching until finally the fourth animal was killed. Its body was destroyed, and it was thrown into the burning fire.
12 (The power and rule of the other animals had been taken from them, but they were permitted to live for a certain period of time.)
13 “In my vision at night I saw in front of me someone who looked like a human being coming on the clouds in the sky. He came near God, who has been alive forever, and he was led to God.
