'Period' in the Bible
“But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever;For His dominion is an everlasting dominion,And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.
He said, “Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.
“In the latter period of their rule,When the transgressors have run their course,A king will arise,Insolent and skilled in intrigue.
