Treated in 13 passages across the library.

  • 7:9 As I watched, thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothes were white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool. His throne was flames of fire, and its wheels were blazing fire. 6
  • 7:7 After that, in my visions at night, I saw a fourth beast, terrifying, frightening and very strong. It had huge iron teeth. It devoured and crushed its victims, and trampled what was left under its feet. It was unlike all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns. 2
  • 7:10 A river of fire was streaming out, flowing from his presence. Thousands upon thousands served him, and countless thousands stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. 2
  • 7:12 The other beasts had their authority taken away, but they were allowed to go on living for a set period of time. 1
  • 7:14 He was given authority, glory and kingly power, so that all peoples, nations and languages would serve him. His authority is an everlasting authority that will never pass away, and his kingdom will never be destroyed. 1
  • 7:27 Then the kingdom and the authority and the greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. Their kingdom will last forever, and every ruler will serve and obey them." 1
