“ Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue— an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance.

“ King Nebuchadnezzar, you looked up and saw a large statue standing in front of you. It was huge. It shone brightly. And it terrified you.

“ You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

我要因世界的邪惡懲罰世界，因惡人的罪孽懲罰惡人；我要使傲慢人的驕傲止息，使強橫者的高傲降卑。

接著，魔鬼帶耶穌上了一座很高的山，給他看世界萬國和萬國的榮耀，

因此，強悍的民要榮耀你，強橫之國的城要敬畏你。你是貧弱者的保障，是貧窮人在危難中的保障；是躲避暴雨的避難所，是遮擋炎熱的蔭庇；因為強橫者的鼻息好像暴雨擊打牆壁。你壓下外族人的喧嘩，就像壓下荒漠的炎熱；你止息強橫者的凱歌，就像雲影止息了炎熱。

有四隻巨獸從海裡上來，各個都不相同。「第一隻獸好像獅子，卻有鷹的翅膀。我繼續觀看，牠的翅膀被拔掉，牠從地上被舉起，像人那樣用雙腳站立，又被賜予了一顆人的心。「看哪，有另一隻獸，就是第二隻，彷彿一隻熊！牠用一側站立，口中的牙齒之間有三根肋骨；有話對牠這樣說：『起來，吞吃大量的肉！』「此後我繼續觀看，看哪，又有另一隻獸好像豹子！牠的背上有鳥的四個翅膀；這獸有四個頭，並且被賜予了權柄。「此後在夜間的異象中我繼續觀看，看哪，第四隻獸非常恐怖、十分可怕、極其強壯！牠有大鐵牙，吞吃咬碎，又把剩餘的用腳踩踏；牠與之前的各獸都不相同，牠有十隻犄角。「我正在注視這些犄角，看哪，有另一隻小犄角在它們中間長出來，先前的那些犄角中有三隻從牠面前被連根拔出！看哪，這犄角上有眼睛，好像人的眼睛，又有說大話的口！「我繼續觀看，寶座已經安放好，亙古永存者入座了；他的衣服潔白如雪，他的頭髮純淨如羊毛；他的寶座是烈火的火焰，寶座的輪子是燃燒的烈火。從他面前有一條火河湧流而出；事奉他的有千千，侍立在他面前的有萬萬；庭審已經開始，書卷都打開了。「那時，我繼續觀看——因那犄角說大話的聲音，我繼續觀看，那獸被殺掉，身體被毀壞，交於焚燒的烈火。至於其餘的獸，牠們的權柄被奪去，牠們的壽命卻得以延長到所定的時候和時期。我在夜間的異象中繼續觀看，看哪，有一位像人子的，在天上的雲彩中來臨，被引領來到亙古永存者面前！他被賜予了權柄、尊榮和國度，所有的民族、國家、語言群體都事奉他；他的權柄是永遠的權柄，不會廢去，他的國度不會毀滅。「至於我但以理，我的靈在我裡面憂傷，我腦海中的異象使我惶恐。我靠近其中一位侍立者，向他尋問有關這一切事情的真義。他就告訴我，把事情的釋義顯明給我：『這四隻巨獸就是從地上將要興起的四個王；
