  • Dan 7:7-9 : 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. 9 I watched until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days took his seat, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was like a fiery flame, and its wheels as burning fire. 10 A 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. 11 Then I watched because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I watched until the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. 13 I 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. 14 And there was given to 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. 15 I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, and the visions of my mind troubled me. 16 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. 17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 18 But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. 19 Then I desired to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the rest with its feet. 20 And about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose appearance was greater than its companions. 21 I watched, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them, 22 until 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. 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise; and another shall rise after them, and he shall be different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And 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 half a time. 26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it until the end. 27 And 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. 28 Until now is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed in me, but I kept the matter in my heart.
  • Hab 1:14-17 : 14 You make men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler over them. 15 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. 16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their dragnet; because by them their portion is sumptuous and their food plentiful. 17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?
