  • Hiligaynon: “‘During the time of these leaders/[lit. heads], the God of heaven will-raise a kingdom that will- never -be-destroyed forever/[lit. until whenever]. This will- never -be-defeated by other [kingdoms], instead it will indeed defeat all the [other] kingdoms and it will-remain forever/[lit. until whenever].” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
