Other Fragments on Daniel.
1343
For when the iron legs that now hold the
sovereignty have given place to the feet and the toes, in accordance
with the representation of the terrible beast, as has also been
signified in the former times, then from heaven will come the stone
that smites the image, and breaks it; and it will subvert all the
kingdoms, and give the kingdom to the saints of the Most High.
This is the stone which becomes a great mountain, and fills the earth,
and of which it is written: “I saw in the night-visions,
and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven,
and came to the Ancient of days. And there was given Him
dominion, and glory, and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and
languages shall serve Him: His power is an everlasting power,
which shall not pass away, and His kingdom shall not be
destroyed.”
