Daniel 7:18-22

18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from[a] 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;
20 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.
21 I beheld*, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 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.
