Vision of the Four Beasts

I invite you to read and review this prophecy

Reading: Daniel 7

Church: It is important to review the prophecies written in the Bible and to deepen them. Many do not like to scrutinize the prophecies fulfilled and those that are coming, I think it is important for this time to speak about the vision of the four Beasts that God shows Daniel en the chapter7.
It is very nice to talk about God's love, forgiveness and salvation, but it is also important that the people of God be instructed and understand the prophecies spoken by God in the past and for this time.
God shows Daniel in vision, what would happen in the future, in the political aspect. But this vision is also a continuation, or rather a similarity, of the prophecy of chapter 2.
They are two aspects of the same prophecy.
Four world empires were to appear, followed by the last Gentile empire (that of antichrist), and then the millennial reign of Christ on earth. The latter, represented by the stone that destroys the statue in the vision of chapter 2.
At the time that God is revealed to Daniel, two great empires had already emerged, but the emergence of the last Gentile empire: the antichrist.

Let's see the vision:
"I looked in my vision at night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were fighting in the great sea.
And four great beasts, different from each other, came up from the sea. The first was like a lion, and had eagle wings. I was watching until his wings were plucked, and he was leant from the ground and stood on his feet like a man, and he was given the heart of a man. And here is another second Beast, similar to a bear. which rose from one side more than the other, and had in its mouth three ribs between the teeth; and it was said to him thus: Read, deora mucho carne.
After this I looked, and behold another, like a leopard, with four wings of ae on its back; this beast also had four heads; and he was given dominion. "
"... and behold the fourth Beast, dreadful and terrible and exceedingly strong, which had great teeth of iron, deoraba and crumbled, and the leftovers he trod with his feet, and was very different from all the beasts that I before her, and she had ten horns ...

What is the interpretation of the vision?

It gives the impression that these four beasts that "rose from the sea", ascended in succession, one after the other, since Daniel lists them: the first as a lion, the second as a bear, another similar to a leopard, and the fourth beast, frightening and terrible. According to many interpreters, the word "sea", in the expressions "great sea", is identified with the human masses or peoples. Revelation 17:15 says: "The waters that I have made, where the harlot sits, are peoples, crowds, nations and tongues."

Each Beast is very different from one another, both in constitution, and appearance. Whereas in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, of chapter 2 of Daniel, the kingdoms are re-enacted from the point of human ista, emphasizing the power of each kingdom; In chapter 7 the same kingdoms appear to us, in a frame of big and terrible beasts, pointing out the dominant character of these nations. They are two similar frames in different frames. Two different reelations, but of the same kingdoms.

The first beast in the vision of Daniel, a lion with wings of an eagle, was the Empire of Babylon.

The mighty Babylon, queen of the nations. Nebuchadnezzar turned it into a world empire. And in Daniel's life this empire was still standing. The second beast, the bear with three ribs in its mouth, and one side higher than the other, and which was commanded to read and devour much flesh, represents the Medo-Persian empire;

Babylonian successor in world government. Their victorias were not won with bravery and strategy, but by the force of great masses of soldiers.
The third Beast, a leopard with four bird wings on its back, was Greece.

The historical fact is known, that the well-disciplined armies of Alexander the Great defeated the world. He had only one emperor, and at his death, his empire was divided into four parts.
The fourth Beast is not compared to any specific animal. There was no beast to compare it; He was a monster, a ferocious beast like no other. The Bible describes it as a frightful and terrible beast, in a strong way, and very different from all the others. This represents the Ancient Roman Empire.

What is the particular interest of this vision?

The particular interest in this chapter rests on the letter beast and the ten horns. That is, the rebirth of the Roman Empire; the final phase of the last world power and gentile government that will rise, dominate, control and subdue the whole earth under its control. It will be the only moment in history when there really will be a world empire, that of the antichrist. He will be the absolute ruler. Many tried to dominate the world: Napoleon, Hitler, and others; but they failed. Everything was in vain.
In chapter 7 and verse 15, Daniel tells us: "My spirit was troubled to me, Daniel, in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head amazed me." Daniel was very curious about this beast that had ten horns on its head, and that it had a smaller horn that grew in the middle of the ten. He was troubled by what he saw and asked God the truth of all this, and the interpretation of things was made known to him. He was told: "These four great beasts are four kings that will rise on the earth" (Daniel 7:17). This prophecy has already fulfilled. There were four great empires that existed in antiquity
.But the ten horns that the fourth beast has, are ten kings that will be leant for the last time, that will come out of this sixth World Empire, that is, of the Roman Empire.

Church: for the last days, a seventh Empire will come out. It will be as if the Old Roman Empire revived and emerged again, but formed by ten kingdoms and a terrible king who will dominate the ten, establishing that seventh World Empire to come.
The little horn is that terrible and powerful king who will rise up in their midst and dominate them, forming his empire; the last Gentile Mundoal Empire. That prophecy is for this time that we are living, the final times of the return of Jesus Christ.
Do you believe? - just as Christ came to give you salvation because he loved you in such a way, died for you and on the third day he was resurrected, so all the prophecies written in this book will be fulfilled.

Our responsibility as Christians is to review the scriptures and deepen those we have to know in order not to go unnoticed before the coming prophetic times
