Ask, and I will give you all the nations; the whole earth will be yours.

You will break them with an iron rod; you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.' "

You give me strength for the battle and victory over my enemies.

He gives me victory over my enemies; he subdues the nations under me

The king will capture all his enemies; he will capture everyone who hates him.

He will destroy them like a blazing fire when he appears. The LORD will devour them in his anger, and fire will consume them.

While you were looking at it, a great stone broke loose from a cliff without anyone touching it, struck the iron and clay feet of the statue, and shattered them.

At once the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold crumbled and became like the dust on a threshing place in summer. The wind carried it all away, leaving not a trace. But the stone grew to be a mountain that covered the whole earth.

And then there will be a fourth empire, as strong as iron, which shatters and breaks everything. And just as iron shatters everything, it will shatter and crush all the earlier empires.

The toes---partly iron and partly clay---mean that part of the empire will be strong and part of it weak.

At the time of those rulers the God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never end. It will never be conquered, but will completely destroy all those empires and then last forever.

the Son of Man will send out his angels to gather up out of his Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things,

Then God's people will shine like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, then, if you have ears!

He will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious body, using that power by which he is able to bring all things under his rule.

Then I saw heaven open, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True; it is with justice that he judges and fights his battles.

The robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is "The Word of God."

Out of his mouth came a sharp sword, with which he will defeat the nations. He will rule over them with a rod of iron, and he will trample out the wine in the wine press of the furious anger of the Almighty God.

Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair: "Come and gather together for God's great feast!

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to fight against the one who was riding the horse and against his army.

Their armies were killed by the sword that comes out of the mouth of the one who was riding the horse; and all the birds ate all they could of their flesh.

He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent---that is, the Devil, or Satan---and chained him up for a thousand years.

Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given the power to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been executed because they had proclaimed the truth that Jesus revealed and the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image, nor had they received the mark of the beast on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and ruled as kings with Christ for a thousand years.

Then the Devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

And I saw the dead, great and small alike, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and then another book was opened, the book of the living. The dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.

Then death and the world of the dead were thrown into the lake of fire. (This lake of fire is the second death.)

and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

But I want you to understand that Christ is supreme over every man, the husband is supreme over his wife, and God is supreme over Christ.

You heard me say to you, 'I am leaving, but I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I.

There are different abilities to perform service, but the same God gives ability to all for their particular service.

The church is Christ's body, the completion of him who himself completes all things everywhere.

As a result, there is no longer any distinction between Gentiles and Jews, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarians, savages, slaves, and free, but Christ is all, Christ is in all.
