¹⁷ These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth.

⁵ And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁸ But the saints of the most high God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the kingdom for ever and ever.
