'Stands' in the Bible

So they approached the king and asked about his edict: “Didn’t you sign an edict that for 30 days any man who petitions any god or man except you, the king, will be thrown into the lions’ den?”The king answered, “As a law of the Medes and Persians, the order stands and is irrevocable.”

The ram that you saw with the two horns stands for the kings of Media and Persia.

The horn that was broken and in whose place there arose four others stands for four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, though they will not have his strength.

I'll inform you about what has been recorded in the Book of Truth. No one stands firmly with me against these opponents, except Michael your prince.

At that timeMichael the great princewho stands watch over your people will rise up.There will be a time of distresssuch as never has occurredsince nations came into being until that time.But at that time all your peoplewho are found written in the book will escape.
