“In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.

“This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.

The kingdom, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’

The four horns that took the place of the shattered horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power.

Near the end of their kingdoms,when the rebels have reachedthe full measure of their sin,an insolent king, skilled in intrigue,will come to the throne.
