The fourth kingdom explained

23Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms; and it will devour the whole earth and trample it down and crush it.’

24As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them. He will be different from the former ones, and he will humble three kings.

25He will speak words against the Most High, and he will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will intend to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

26But the court will sit, and his dominion will be taken away, to be destroyed and annihilated to the end.

27And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under all heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
