The angel continues speaking to Daniel.

## A mighty king will rise up ##

It can be made clear that this is in Greece. "A mighty king will appear in Greece" or "A mighty king will begin to reign" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

## who will rule a very great kingdom ##

Possible meanings are  1)  that the size of this kingdom would be very great, or 2) that the king would rule his kingdom with very great power.

## the four winds of heaven ##

See how you translated this in [Daniel 7:1](../07/01.md)

## it will not be given to his descendants ##

AT: "his descendants will not rule his kingdom" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

## his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others who are not his descendants ##

AT: "another power will uproot and destroy his kingdom, and others who are not his descendants will rule over it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
