"바다에서 올라온 짐승" 다니엘 7:1-14 2022년 11월 15일 (화) > 큐티 나누기

네 짐승 환상
1  바벨론 벨사살 왕 원년에 다니엘이 그의 침상에서 꿈을 꾸며 머리 속으로 환상을 받고 그 꿈을 기록하며 그 일의 대략을 진술하니라
2  다니엘이 진술하여 이르되 내가 밤에 환상을 보았는데 하늘의 네 바람이 큰 바다로 몰려 불더니
3  큰 짐승 넷이 바다에서 나왔는데 그 모양이 각각 다르더라
4  첫째는 사자와 같은데 독수리의 날개가 있더니 내가 보는 중에 그 날개가 뽑혔고 또 땅에서 들려서 사람처럼 두 발로 서게 함을 받았으며 또 사람의 마음을 받았더라
5    또 보니 다른 짐승 곧 둘째는 곰과 같은데 그것이 몸 한쪽을 들었고 그 입의 잇사이에는 세 갈빗대가 물렸는데 그것에게 말하는 자들이 있어 이르기를 일어나서 많은 고기를 먹으라 하였더라
6  그 후에 내가 또 본즉 다른 짐승 곧 표범과 같은 것이 있는데 그 등에는 새의 날개 넷이 있고 그 짐승에게 또 머리 넷이 있으며 권세를 받았더라
7  내가 밤 환상 가운데에 그 다음에 본 넷째 짐승은 무섭고 놀라우며 또 매우 강하며 또 쇠로 된 큰 이가 있어서 먹고 부서뜨리고 그 나머지를 발로 밟았으며 이 짐승은 전의 모든 짐승과 다르고 또 열 뿔이 있더라
8  내가 그 뿔을 유심히 보는 중에 다른 작은 뿔이 그 사이에서 나더니 첫 번째 뿔 중의 셋이 그 앞에서 뿌리까지 뽑혔으며 이 작은 뿔에는 사람의 눈 같은 눈들이 있고 또 입이 있어 큰 말을 하였더라
옛적부터 항상 계신 자
9  내가 보니 왕좌가 놓이고 옛적부터 항상 계신 이가 좌정하셨는데 그의 옷은 희기가 눈 같고 그의 머리털은 깨끗한 양의 털 같고 그의 보좌는 불꽃이요 그의 바퀴는 타오르는 불이며
10  불이 강처럼 흘러 그의 앞에서 나오며 그를 섬기는 자는 천천이요 그 앞에서 모셔 선 자는 만만이며 심판을 베푸는데 책들이 펴 놓였더라
11  그 때에 내가 작은 뿔이 말하는 큰 목소리로 말미암아 주목하여 보는 사이에 짐승이 죽임을 당하고 그의 시체가 상한 바 되어 타오르는 불에 던져졌으며
12  그 남은 짐승들은 그의 권세를 빼앗겼으나 그 생명은 보존되어 정한 시기가 이르기를 기다리게 되었더라
13  내가 또 밤 환상 중에 보니 인자 같은 이가 하늘 구름을 타고 와서 옛적부터 항상 계신 이에게 나아가 그 앞으로 인도되매
14  그에게 권세와 영광과 나라를 주고 모든 백성과 나라들과 다른 언어를 말하는 모든 자들이 그를 섬기게 하였으니 그의 권세는 소멸되지 아니하는 영원한 권세요 그의 나라는 멸망하지 아니할 것이니라

Daniel’s Dream of Four Beasts
7:1  In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying in bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream.

2 Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. 3 Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.

4 “The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it.

5 “And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’

6 “After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.

7 “After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.

8 “While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

9 “As I looked, “thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him.
Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated, and the books were opened.

11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. 12 (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)

13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a] coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
