1In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel had a wild dream and some deep thoughts while chillin' in bed; he wrote it down, no cap.

2Daniel was like, "Yo, I had this vision at night, and I saw the four winds goin' hard on the big sea."

3Then four savage beasts popped up from the sea, each one totally different from the others.

4The first one was like a lion, but it had eagle wings; I watched until the wings were snatched off, and it stood up like a dude with a man's heart.

5Then I saw another beast, a second one, looking like a bear; it was flexing on one side and had three ribs chillin' in its mouth. They were like, "Get up and munch on some serious meat."

6After that, I peeped another beast, like a leopard, with four wings on its back and four heads; it was straight-up goated with power.

7Then I saw a fourth beast in my night vision, terrifying and super strong; it had iron teeth that crushed everything and stomped on what was left; it was different from all the others and had ten horns.

8I was checkin' the horns, and then a little horn popped up among them, taking out three of the first horns by the roots; this horn had eyes like a human and was talking big game.

9I watched until the thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days took a seat, drippin' in a white robe like fresh snow, with hair like clean wool; his throne was lit like a fiery flame, and his wheels were on fire.

10A fiery stream came out from before him; thousands and thousands were vibin' with him, and ten thousand times ten thousand were standing before him; the judgment was ready, and the books were opened.

11I peeped the vibes from the horn's big talk, saw the beast get wrecked and tossed into the fire. Savage.

12The other beasts got their power snatched, but they got to chill for a bit longer, no cap.

13I had a wild dream, and then boom, someone looking like the Son of Man rolled up in the clouds and came to the Ancient of Days. Lit.

14He was given mad power, glory, and a kingdom where everyone, all the peeps and nations, gotta serve him. His vibe is forever, no cap, and his kingdom ain't getting wrecked.

15I, Daniel, was feeling heavy in my spirit, like my mind was all over the place with these visions.

16I slid up to one of the homies standing there and asked for the 411 on all this. He broke it down and gave me the tea on the meaning.

17These four beasts? They’re four kings rising up from the earth, straight up.

18But the saints of the Most High are gonna take the kingdom and flex on it forever and ever. Periodt.

19I wanted the scoop on the fourth beast, which was built different, super scary, with iron teeth and brass nails; it devoured, smashed, and stomped everything.

20And about the ten horns on its head, and the other one that popped up while three fell off; this horn had eyes and a mouth talking big game, looking more jacked than the rest.

21I peeped, and that horn was straight up warring with the saints, and lowkey won some battles;

22Until the Ancient of Days showed up, and the saints got the judgment, finally vibing with the kingdom.

23He said, the fourth beast is like the fourth kingdom on Earth, wild different from all the others, gonna devour everything and break it down, no cap.

24And the ten horns from this kingdom are ten kings about to pop off; another will rise after them, all rizzed up and gonna take down three kings.

25He’s gonna talk mad trash against the Most High, wear down the saints, and try to switch up the times and laws; they’ll be in his hands for a bit, fr.

26But the judgment's gonna roll in, and they’ll snatch away his power to totally obliterate it at the end.

27And the kingdom, the power, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole sky will be given to the saints’ crew; their kingdom is forever, and all powers will serve and obey.

28That’s where the story wraps up. For me, Daniel, I was mad shook, my vibes were off, but I kept it all locked in my heart.

1In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

2Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

3And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

4The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.

5And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

6After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

9I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

11I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

12As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

14And there was given him 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 that which shall not be destroyed.

15I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

16I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

17These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

18But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

28Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
