If you see the likeness of someone, you should consider if making him known is God's work! (Dan 7:7-8; Dan 8:23-26)
Daniel 7:20-27 NWT . . .and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other [horn] that came up and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth speaking grandiose things and the appearance of which was [or seemed] bigger than that of its fellows. 21 “I kept on beholding when that very horn made war upon the holy ones [maybe referring to those with integrity; those trying to do what is right], and it was prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and judgment itself was given in favor of the holy ones of the Supreme One [people of integrity], and the definite time arrived that the holy ones took possession of the kingdom itself. 23 “This is what he said, ‘As for the fourth beast, there is a fourth kingdom [Rome] that will come to be on the earth, that will be different from all the [other] kingdoms; and it will devour all the earth and will trample it down and crush it. 24 And as for the ten horns, out of that kingdom there are ten kings that will rise up [the Anlo-American world power]; and still another one will rise up after them, and he himself will be different from the first ones, and three kings he will humiliate. 25 And he will speak even words against the Most High, and he will harass continually the holy ones [righteous people] themselves of the Supreme One. And he will intend to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time, and times and half a time. 26 And the Court itself proceeded to sit, and his own rulership they finally took away, in order to annihilate [him] and to destroy [him] totally. 27 “‘And the kingdom and the rulership and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens were given to the people who are the holy ones of the Supreme One. Their kingdom is an indefinitely lasting kingdom, and all the rulerships will serve and obey even them.’
Daniel 7:20-27 GNB . . .And I wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the horn that had come up afterward and had made three of the horns fall. It had eyes and a mouth and was boasting proudly. It was more terrifying than any of the others. (21) While I was looking, that horn made war on God's people [maybe simply meaning those with integrity who try to do what is right] and conquered them. (22) Then the one who had been living forever came and pronounced judgment in favor of the people of the Supreme God [people of integrity]. The time had arrived for God's people to receive royal power. (23) This is the explanation I was given: "The fourth beast is a fourth empire [Rome] that will be on the earth and will be different from all other empires. It will crush the whole earth and trample it down. (24) The ten horns are ten kings who will rule that empire. [Anglo-American world power.] Then another king will appear; he will be very different from the earlier ones and will overthrow three kings. (25) He will speak against the Supreme God and oppress God's people [righteous people]. He will try to change their religious laws and festivals, and God's people will be under his power for three and a half years. (26) Then the heavenly court will sit in judgment, take away his power, and destroy him completely. (27) The power and greatness of all the kingdoms on earth will be given to the people of the Supreme God. Their royal power will never end, and all rulers on earth will serve and obey them."
Daniel 7:20-27 CEV . . .I also wanted to know more about all ten of those horns on its head. I especially wanted to know more about the one that took the place of three of the others--the horn that had eyes and spoke with arrogance and seemed greater than the others. (21) While I was looking, this horn attacked God's chosen ones [maybe referring to those with integrity; those trying to do what is right] and was winning the battle. (22) Then God Most High, the Eternal God, came and judged in favor of his chosen ones [people of integrity], because the time had arrived for them to be given the kingdom. (23) Then I was told by the one standing there: "The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom to appear on earth. [Rome] It will be different from all the others-- it will trample the earth and crush it to pieces. (24) All ten of those horns are kings who will come from this kingdom, [Anglo-American world power] and one more will follow. This horn will be different from the others, and it will conquer three other kings. (25) "This king will speak evil of God Most High, and he will be cruel to God's chosen ones [righteous people]. He will try to change God's Law and the sacred seasons. And he will be able to do this for a time, two times, and half a time. (26) But he will finally be judged, and his kingdom completely destroyed. (27) "Then the greatest kingdom of all will be given to the chosen ones of God Most High. His kingdom will be eternal, and all others will serve and obey him."
Daniel 7:20-27 ESV . . .and about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions. (21) As I looked, this horn made war with the saints [maybe referring to those with integrity; those trying to do what is right] and prevailed over them, (22) until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High [people of integrity], and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom. (23) "Thus he said: 'As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, [Rome] which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces. (24) As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, [Anglo-American world power] and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings. (25) He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High [righteous people], and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. (26) But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end. (27) And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'
