Four Beasts

FOUR BEASTS (Lion: Great Britain (Eagle's wings: America), Bear: Russia, Leopard: Germany, 10 horn beast: Holy Roman Empire reborn)

Daniel 7:17

17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

Daniel 7:23

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

These beasts symbolize a kingdom or a nation along with the ruler of that kingdom or nation.

Daniel 7:9

9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

This is describing the end of human government and the beginning of Gods kingdom.

Germany started the following wars:

Franco-German War - 1870

WWI 1914 - 1918

WWII 1939 - 1945

Newsweek, April 9, 1984 The German Malady

"Since the time of Charlemagne (leader of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 AD), the area that is now Germany, has been the pivot of European history. In the past 120 years the Germans have dominated Europe intellectually, industrially, and militarily."

The four heads of the leopard represent the number of times that a kingdom/nation will rise and fall. Each head of the leopard is a Reich. (1st, 2nd, 3rd and the 4th is yet to come)

The wings on the leopard are symbolic of France, who are the Germans close friends and allies. The symbol chosen by France is the fowl or rooster.

The book of Daniel which was written in 550 BC describes the same four beasts as seen 650 years later in the book of Revelation, written in 95-96 AD.

Fourth beast (Daniel 7:24 (10 horns = 10 kings), an alliance.

Revelation 17:12 (beast = Antichrist)

Daniel 2:40-44 (The feet of brass mingled with clay = the Holy Roman Empire born in 800 AD), (Legs of iron = Roman Empire)

The 10 toes represent 10 kings (V44), (same as 10 horns)

Daniel 7:24 (1 horn (king) will com up after the first 10 and uproot 3 of them. This is the Antichrist)

Daniel 7:21-22 (This is the great tribulation)

Daniel 7:23 (One world governmental system)

Daniel 7:27 (Satan's last chance at destroying Israel. (Zechariah 14:2))
