The lion was not babylon... it is England! The eagles wings will makes sense with the next verse i post.In the first dream, Daniel saw four great beasts coming up from out of the "Great Sea," which many biblical scholars believe refers to the Mediterranean Sea:
1. The first beast was like a lion, and it had eagle's wings (Daniel 7:4).
* The lion refers to Babylon, the regal and majestic kingdom.
Daniel 7:4 says:
The first [was] like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
^Sounds seemingly familiar to how America(whose animal symbol is the eagle) split off from England(whose animal symbol is the lion)
Furthermore:,
Revelation 12:14 shows a woman, Israel, being given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness for three and one-half years where she is protected from Satan. Could these eagle's wings possibly be the United States? The U.S. has certainly been Israel's protector in these times.
The bear is russia.2. The second beast was like a bear. It was raised up on one side and had three ribs in its mouth (Daniel 7:5).
* The bear refers to Medo-Persia, which was stronger on one side than the other (the Medes were stronger than the Persians).
It says the leopard has 4 heads. Each head resembles the rise of Germany(Germanys animal symbol is the leopard). Germany has already had 3 riches(rises) and 3 falls. The 4th rise started when the Berlin wall came down.3. The third beast was like a leopard, which had four heads and four sets of wings (Daniel 7:6).
* The third beast, the leopard, refers to Greece, which swept across the world with rapid ferocity under Alexander the Great, then divided into four kingdoms (the leopard's four heads) after Alexander's death.
Nothing to do with greece.
Complete verse:4. The fourth beast was "dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong." It had huge iron teeth, and it devoured everything. It made war with God's people and broke them into pieces.
* The fourth kingdom is Rome, which is again pictured as a cruel and fierce iron monster.
Daniel 7:21-23, I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them, 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.
Verse that compliments it:
Revelation 13:7 says, And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kinds, and tongues, and nations.
Notice that this predicts that the coming world government will have power over all nations. Furthermore, the leader of this world government, a man the Bible calls the Antichrist, will make war against true Christians that will be on earth at the time.
Both of these prophecies, foretell a government that will rule over all the earth. They also state that the ruler of the prophesied world government will launch a time of terrible religious persecution.
It has nothing to do with Rome.
Wrong.This dream also takes a closer look at the future manifestation of Rome, which is pictured here as being comprised of ten horns, or nations, corresponding with the ten toes of iron and clay from King Nebuchadnezzar's dream.
In Revelation 13:1-3, one beast is depicted, but this single beast has the body of the leopard, the feet of the bear, the mouth of the lion, and the ten horns of the ten-horned beast.
The lion resembles England,(their animal symbol) and it is the mouth, because, the one world government in which this beast resembles, is going to use the English language for world wide communication(which already is the world language)
The bear represents Russia. It is the feet because their massive population will most likely be the ground support?(it will become more understandable as time moves forward)
The 10 horns represent the 10 nations of the common market or the new holy roman empire. If you do not believe the holy roman empire is making a comeback, you need to do some research. There is already a European currency, a world court, and a European Union with a constitution. Look it up on google
