Daniel Chapter 7
During the first year of Belshazzar, the Babylon king, Daniel had a crazy dream and some deep thoughts while chilling in bed; he wrote it down, no cap.
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, {and} told the sum of the matters. {had: Chaldee, saw} {matters: or, words}
So Daniel was like, "Ayo, I had this vision at night, and I peeped the four winds going hard on the big sea."
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
Then four wild beasts showed up from the sea, each one totally unique from the rest.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
The first beast was like a lion but had eagle wings; I watched until the wings got ripped off, and it stood up like a dude with a man's heart.
The first {was} like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}
Next, I spotted another beast, a second one, that looked like a bear; it was flexing on one side and had three ribs chillin' in its mouth. They were like, "Get up and chow down on some serious meat."
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and {it had} three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. {it raised...: or, it raised up one dominion}
After that, I peeped another beast, like a leopard, with four wings on its back and four heads; it was straight-up legendary with power.
After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Then I caught sight of a fourth beast in my night vision, terrifying and super strong; it had iron teeth that crushed everything and stomped on what was left; it was different from all the others and had ten horns.
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it {was} diverse from all the beasts that {were} before it; and it had ten horns.
I was checking the horns when a little horn popped up among them, taking out three of the first horns by the roots; this horn had human-like eyes and was talking major trash.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn {were} eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
I was watching until the thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days took a seat, dripped out in a white robe like fresh snow, with hair like clean wool; his throne was lit like a fiery flame, and his wheels were on fire.
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment {was} white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne {was like} the fiery flame, {and} his wheels {as} burning fire.
A blazing stream came out from before him; thousands and thousands were vibing with him, and ten thousand times ten thousand were standing before him; the judgment was set, and the books got opened.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
I peeped the vibes from the horn’s big talk, saw the beast get wrecked and tossed into the fire. Savage.
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld {even} till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
The other beasts had their power stripped away, but they got to chill for a bit longer, no cap.
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. {their lives...: Chaldee, a prolonging in life was given them}
I had a wild dream, and then boom, someone who looked like the Son of Man rolled up in the clouds and came to the Ancient of Days. Lit.
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, {one} like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
He got mad power, glory, and a kingdom where everyone, all the peeps and nations, gotta serve him. His vibe is forever, no cap, and his kingdom ain't getting wrecked.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion {is} an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom {that} which shall not be destroyed.
I, Daniel, was feeling heavy in my spirit, like my mind was all over the place with these visions.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of {my} body, and the visions of my head troubled me. {body: Chaldee, sheath}
I slid up to one of the homies standing there and asked for the lowdown on all this. He broke it down and spilled the tea on the meaning.
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
These four beasts? They represent four kings rising up from the earth, straight up.
These great beasts, which are four, {are} four kings, {which} shall arise out of the earth.
But the saints of the Most High are about to take the kingdom and flex on it forever and ever. Periodt.
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. {most...: Chaldee, high ones, that is, things, or, places}
I wanted the scoop on the fourth beast, which was built different, super scary, with iron teeth and brass nails; it devoured, smashed, and stomped everything.
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth {were of} iron, and his nails {of} brass; {which} devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; {from...: Chaldee, from all those}
And about the ten horns on its head, and the other one that popped up while three fell off; this horn had eyes and a mouth talking big game, looking more jacked than the rest.
And of the ten horns that {were} in his head, and {of} the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even {of} that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look {was} more stout than his fellows.
I was peeping, and that horn was straight up warring with the saints and lowkey won some battles;
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Until the Ancient of Days showed up, and the saints got the judgment, finally vibing with the kingdom.
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
He said, the fourth beast is like the fourth kingdom on Earth, wild different from all the others, gonna devour everything and break it down, no cap.
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
And the ten horns from this kingdom are ten kings about to pop off; another will rise after them, all rizzed up and gonna take down three kings.
And the ten horns out of this kingdom {are} ten kings {that} shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
He’s gonna talk mad smack against the Most High, wear down the saints, and try to switch up the times and laws; they’ll be in his hands for a bit, fr.
And he shall speak {great} words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
But the judgment's gonna roll in, and they'll strip away his power to totally obliterate it in the end.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy {it} unto the end.
And the kingdom, the power, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole sky will be given to the saints' crew; their kingdom is forever, and all powers will serve and obey.
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom {is} an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. {dominions: or, rulers}
That’s where the story wraps up. For me, Daniel, I was mad shook, my vibes were off, but I kept it all locked in my heart.
Hitherto {is} the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
