'Authority' in the Bible

"After this, I continued to watch and look! there was another one, resembling a leopard with four birds' wings on its back. The animal also had four heads, and authority was imparted to it.

Now as to the other animals, their authority was removed, but they were granted a reprieve from execution for an appointed period of time."

Nevertheless, the court will convene, and his authority will be removed, annulled, and destroyed forever.

Then the kingdom, authority, and magnificence of all nations of the earth will be given to the people who are the saints of the Highest One. His kingdom will endure forever, and all authorities will serve him and obey him.'

""In his place there will arise a despicable person, upon whom no royal authority has been conferred, but he'll invade in a time of tranquility, taking over the kingdom through deception.
