But once he rises to power, his kingdom won't last. It's going to get completely shattered and scattered in every direction. None of his kids will inherit it, and it won't stay as strong as when he was running things. His whole empire will get ripped away and handed over to totally different people.

So when that horn gets broken off, four others will take its place — representing four kingdoms that'll rise up from that nation. But here's the thing: none of them will have the same kind of power the original one had.

I'm going to topple every kingdom's throne and crush the power of nations that don't know me. I'll wreck their war chariots and the soldiers driving them — their horses and riders will fall, and they'll end up turning their swords on each other.
