Now you, O Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
  • Dan 7:1-8 : 1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream down, and told the sum of the matters. 2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different from one another. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on its feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, was like a bear. It raised itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this, I looked, and behold, 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. 7 After this, I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and trampled what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, another little horn came up among them, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

    28This is the thing that I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
