Bible Question: who are the 4 great beast in Daniel 7-2? |
Bible Answer: Sandra: Thanks for your good question! I checked out four sources* and they all agree on the following interpretation of Daniel 7:1-8. The "four great beasts" that "were coming up from the sea" represent the rulers of the four world empires previously described in Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 2; and the sea out of which they came is the Mediterranean. ..... The first beast, "like a lion...eagle" (v.4), is Babylon. ..... The second beast, "resembling a bear" (v.5), is the Medo-Persian Empire. ..... The third beast, "like a leopard" (v.6) is the Greek Empire. ..... And the fourth beast, having "ten horns" (v.7), and "another horn, a little one" (v.8), is Rome. The ten horns and the little horn are explained in verses 24 and 25. .... *Sources: MacArthur Study Bible, Ryrie Study Bible, King James Study Bible, and Believer's Bible Commentary. --Hank |
