1In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions appeared in his mind as he lay on his bed; then he wrote the dream down and related a summary of it.
MSG
1In the first year of the reign of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream. What he saw as he slept in his bed terrified him—a real nightmare. Then he wrote out his dream:
AMP
2Daniel said, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea (the nations).
MSG
2"In my dream that night I saw the four winds of heaven whipping up a great storm on the sea.
AMP
3And four great beasts, each different from the other, were coming up out of the sea .
MSG
3Four huge animals, each different from the others, ascended out of the sea.
AMP
4The first (the Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar) was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind was given to it.
MSG
4"The first animal looked like a lion, but it had the wings of an eagle. While I watched, its wings were pulled off. It was then pulled erect so that it was standing on two feet like a man. Then a human heart was placed in it.
AMP
5And behold, another beast, a second one (the Medo-Persian Empire), was like a bear, and it was raised up on one side (domain), and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, 'Arise, devour much meat.'
MSG
5"Then I saw a second animal that looked like a bear. It lurched from side to side, holding three ribs in its jaws. It was told, 'Attack! Devour! Fill your belly!'
AMP
6After this I kept looking, and behold, another one (the Greek Empire of Alexander the Great), like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; the beast also had four heads (Alexander's generals, his successors), and power to rule was given to it.
MSG
6"Next I saw another animal. This one looked like a panther. It had four birdlike wings on its back. This animal had four heads and was made to rule.
AMP
7After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast (the Roman Empire), terrible and extremely strong; and it had huge iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that came before it, and it had ten horns (ten kings).
MSG
7"After that, a fourth animal appeared in my dream. This one was a grisly horror—hideous. It had huge iron teeth. It crunched and swallowed its victims. Anything left over, it trampled into the ground. It was different from the other animals—this one was a real monster. It had ten horns.
AMP
8While I was considering the horns, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, and three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots before it; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth boasting of great things.
MSG
8"As I was staring at the horns and trying to figure out what they meant, another horn sprouted up, a little horn. Three of the original horns were pulled out to make room for it. There were human eyes in this little horn, and a big mouth speaking arrogantly.
AMP
9"I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days (God) took His seat; His garment was white as snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was flames of fire; Its wheels were a burning fire.
MSG
9"As I was watching all this,"Thrones were set in placeand The Old One sat down.His robes were white as snow,his hair was white like wool.His throne was flaming with fire,its wheels blazing.
AMP
10"A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; A thousand thousands were attending Him, And ten thousand times ten thousand were standing before Him; The court was seated, And the books were opened.
MSG
10A river of firepoured out of the throne.Thousands upon thousands served him,tens of thousands attended him.The courtroom was called to order,and the books were opened.
AMP
11Then I kept looking because of the sound of the great and boastful words which the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to be burned with fire.
MSG
11"I kept watching. The little horn was speaking arrogantly. Then, as I watched, the monster was killed and its body cremated in a roaring fire.
AMP
12As for the rest of the beasts, their power was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a predetermined time.
MSG
12The other animals lived on for a limited time, but they didn't really do anything, had no power to rule.
AMP
13"I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, on the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.
MSG
13My dream continued."I saw a human form, a son of man,arriving in a whirl of clouds.He came to The Old Oneand was presented to him.
AMP
14"And to Him (the Messiah) was given dominion (supreme authority), Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations, and speakers of every language Should serve and worship Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.
MSG
14He was given power to rule—all the glory of royalty.Everyone—race, color, and creed—had to serve him.His rule would be forever, never ending.His kingly rule would never be replaced.
AMP
15"As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed and anxious within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming (agitating) me.
MSG
15"But as for me, Daniel, I was disturbed. All these dream-visions had me agitated.
AMP
16I approached one of those who stood by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and explained to me the interpretation of the things:
MSG
16So I went up to one of those standing by and asked him the meaning of all this. And he told me, interpreting the dream for me:
AMP
17'These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
MSG
17" 'These four huge animals,' he said, 'mean that four kingdoms will appear on earth.
AMP
18But the saints (believers) of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.'
MSG
18But eventually the holy people of the High God will be given the kingdom and have it ever after—yes, forever and ever.'
AMP
19"Then I wished to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, extremely dreadful, with teeth of iron and claws of bronze, which devoured, crushed and trampled down what was left with its feet,
MSG
19"But I wanted to know more. I was curious about the fourth animal, the one so different from the others, the hideous monster with the iron teeth and the bronze claws, gulping down what it ripped to pieces and trampling the leftovers into the dirt.
AMP
20and the meaning of the ten horns (kings) that were on its head and the other horn which came up later, and before which three of the horns fell, specifically, that horn which had eyes and a mouth that boasted great things and which looked larger than the others.
MSG
20And I wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that sprouted up while three of the original horns were removed. This new horn had eyes and a big mouth and spoke arrogantly, dominating the other horns.
AMP
21As I kept looking, that horn was making war with the saints (believers) and overpowering them
MSG
21I watched as this horn was making war on God's holy people and getting the best of them.
AMP
22until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Most High , and the time arrived when the saints (believers) took possession of the kingdom.
MSG
22But then The Old One intervened and decided things in favor of the people of the High God. In the end, God's holy people took over the kingdom.
AMP
23"Thus the angel said, 'The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down, and crush it.
MSG
23"The bystander continued, telling me this: 'The fourth animal is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from the first three kingdoms, a monster kingdom that will chew up everyone in sight and spit them out.
AMP
24As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the former ones, and he will subdue three kings.
MSG
24The ten horns are ten kings, one after another, that will come from this kingdom. But then another king will arrive. He will be different from the earlier kings. He will begin by toppling three kings.
AMP
25He will speak words against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Most High, and he will intend to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time .
MSG
25Then he will blaspheme the High God, persecute the followers of the High God, and try to get rid of sacred worship and moral practice. God's holy people will be persecuted by him for a time, two times, half a time.
AMP
26But the court will sit in judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, consumed and to be destroyed forever.
MSG
26" 'But when the court comes to order, the horn will be stripped of its power and totally destroyed.
AMP
27Then the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints (believers) of the Most High; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.'
MSG
27Then the royal rule and the authority and the glory of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the people of the High God. Their royal rule will last forever. All other rulers will serve and obey them.'
AMP
28"This is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were extremely troubling and alarming and my face grew pale; but I kept the matter to myself."
MSG
28"And there it ended. I, Daniel, was in shock. I was like a man who had seen a ghost. But I kept it all to myself.
