Daniel 7:25-27
Living Bible
25 He will defy the Most High God and wear down the saints with persecution, and he will try to change all laws, morals, and customs.[a] God’s people will be helpless in his hands for three and a half years.
26 “But then the Ancient of Days will come[b] and open his court of justice and take all power from this vicious king, to consume and destroy it until the end. 27 Then all nations under heaven and their power shall be given to the people of God;[c] they shall rule all things forever, and all rulers shall serve and obey them.”
