Daniel 7:15-27
15I, Daniel, found my spirit anguished within its sheath of flesh, and I was terrified by the visions of my mind. 16I approached one of those present and asked him what all this meant in truth; in answer, he made known to me the meaning of the things: 17″These four great beasts stand for four kingdoms which shall arise on the earth. 18But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingship, to possess it forever and ever.” 19But I wished to make certain about the fourth beast, so very terrible and different from the others, devouring and crushing with its iron teeth and bronze claws, and trampling with its feet what was left;20about the ten horns on its head, and the other one that sprang up, before which three horns fell; about the horn with the eyes and the mouth that spoke arrogantly, which appeared greater than its fellows. 21For, as I watched, that horn made war against the holy ones and was victorious 22until the Ancient One arrived; judgment was pronounced in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came when the holy ones possessed the kingdom. 23He answered me thus: “The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, different from all the others; It shall devour the whole earth, beat it down, and crush it. 24The ten horns shall be ten kings rising out of that kingdom; another shall rise up after them, Different from those before him, who shall lay low three kings. 25He shall speak against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High, thinking to change the feast days and the law. They shall be handed over to him for a year, two years, and a half-year. 26But when the court is convened, and his power is taken away by final and absolute destruction, 27Then the kingship and dominion and majesty of all the kingdoms under the heavens shall be given to the holy people of the Most High, Whose kingdom shall be everlasting: all dominions shall serve and obey him.”

82You sons of men, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever. 83O Israel, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever. 84Priests of the Lord, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever. 85Servants of the Lord, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever. 86Spirits and souls of the just, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever. 87Holy men of humble heart, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever.
Luke 21:34-36
34″But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare; 35for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. 36But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of man.”
