You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.
In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever.
But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit was hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken from him.
And He was given dominion,glory, and kingship,that the people of every nation and languageshould serve Him.His dominion is an everlasting dominionthat will not pass away,and His kingdom is onethat will never be destroyed.
Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’
