Eighth Vision: Four Chariots

6 And again I looked up and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.

²² As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his^[a] nation but not with his power.^(A)

¹¹ In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance,^[a] having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will,^(A)

²⁸ to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.

⁵ The angel answered me, “These are the four winds^[a] of heaven going out, after presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.^(A)

Sixth Vision: The Flying Scroll

5 Again I looked up and saw a flying scroll.^(A)

Second Vision: The Horns and the Smiths

^18 [a]And I looked up and saw four horns. ¹⁹ I asked the angel who spoke with me, “What are those?” And he answered me, “Those are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

³ and four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.^{(A) 4} The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then, as I watched, its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a human being, and a human mind was given to it.^{(B) 5} Another beast appeared, a second one, that looked like a bear. It was raised up on one side, had three tusks^[a] in its mouth among its teeth, and was told, “Arise, devour many bodies!” ⁶ After this, as I watched, another appeared, like a leopard. The beast had four wings of a bird on its back and four heads, and dominion was given to it.^{(C) 7} After this I saw in the visions by night a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth and was devouring, breaking in pieces, and stamping what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that preceded it, and it had ten horns.^(D)
