Daniel 7:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 I beheld till the [a]thrones were set up, and the [b]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.
10 A fiery stream issued, and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand [c]thousands stood before him: the judgment was set, and the [d]books opened.
11 Then I beheld, [e]because of the voice of the presumptuous words which the horn spake: I beheld, even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning fire.
