Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts

(Revelation 13:1–10)

In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account. Amo 3:7 Dan 1:17 Dan 4:5 Dan 5:1 Jer 23:28 Jol 2:28 Act 2:17-18 Dan 2:1

Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea. ¹ Rev 7:1 Rev 17:15 Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others: Rev 13:1 Dan 7:17 Dan 2:32-33 Dan 7:4-8 Ezk 19:3-8 Psa 76:4 Zec 6:1-8 Dan 2:37-40

The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man. Isa 14:13-17 Jer 4:7 Ezk 17:3 Hab 1:6-8 Dan 5:18-23 Hab 2:5-10 Mat 24:28 2Sa 1:23

Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on flesh!’ Dan 2:39 2Ki 2:24 Hos 13:8 Isa 13:17-18 Isa 56:9 Jer 50:21-32 Pro 17:12 Dan 11:2

Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule. Rev 13:2 Dan 11:3-20 Dan 8:20-22 Dan 10:20 Dan 2:39 Dan 7:4 Dan 8:5-8 Ezk 17:3

After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns. Rev 13:1 Rev 12:3 Rev 17:12 Dan 7:23-24 Dan 7:19-20 Dan 2:40-42 Rev 17:7 Dan 8:10 While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance. Rev 13:5-6 Rev 13:1 Psa 12:3 2Th 2:4 Dan 11:36 Dan 8:9-12 Rev 13:11-13 Rev 9:7

Daniel’s Vision of the Ancient of Days

As I continued to watch, Rev 1:14 Mrk 9:3 Dan 7:13 Mat 17:2 Dan 7:22 Mic 5:2 Rev 19:18 2Th 1:7-8

thrones were set in place,

and the Ancient of Days took His seat.

His clothing was white as snow,

and the hair of His head was like pure wool.

His throne was flaming with fire,

and its wheels were all ablaze.

A river of fire was flowing, Isa 30:27 Deu 33:2 Rev 20:11-15 Psa 50:3 Rev 5:11 1Ki 22:19 Nam 1:5-6 Jud 1:14

coming out from His presence.

Thousands upon thousands attended Him,

and myriads upon myriads stood before Him.

The court was convened,

and the books were opened.

Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. Rev 19:20 Rev 20:10 2Th 2:8 Dan 7:8 Dan 8:25 Rev 18:8 2Pe 2:18 Dan 11:45 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time. Dan 8:7 Dan 7:4-6

Daniel’s Vision of the Son of Man

In my vision in the night I continued to watch, Mat 26:64 Rev 1:7 Luk 21:27 Rev 14:14 Mat 24:30 Mrk 14:61-62 Mrk 13:26 Mat 25:31

and I saw One like the Son of Man ²

coming with the clouds of heaven. ³

He approached the Ancient of Days

and was led into His presence.

And He was given dominion, Rev 11:15 Dan 7:27 Dan 2:44 Jhn 3:35 1Co 15:24-28 Eph 1:20-22 Php 2:9-11 Heb 12:28

glory, and kingship,

that the people of every nation and language

should serve Him.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion

that will not pass away,

and His kingdom is one

that will never be destroyed.

Daniel’s Visions Interpreted

I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me. Dan 7:28 2Pe 1:14 Dan 2:1 Dan 2:3 Dan 4:5 Dan 7:1 Dan 8:27 Gen 40:7-8 I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. Rev 7:13-14 Dan 7:10 Rev 5:5 Zec 2:3 Dan 10:11-12 Dan 10:5-6 Dan 12:5-6 Dan 8:13-16

So he told me the interpretation of these things: ‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth. Dan 2:37-40 Dan 7:3-4 Dan 8:19-22 Jhn 18:36 Psa 17:14 Rev 13:1 Rev 13:11 But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’ Dan 7:27 Isa 60:12-14 Rev 5:10 Rev 20:4 Rev 2:26-27 2Ti 2:11-12 Dan 7:22 Psa 149:5-9

Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left. Dan 7:7 Dan 2:40-43 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance. Dan 7:23 Dan 7:8 Dan 11:36-37 Dan 7:11 Dan 8:9-11 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them, Dan 12:7 Dan 8:24 Rev 13:5-18 Rev 17:14 Rev 12:3-4 Rev 17:6 Rev 11:7-9 Rev 19:19 until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom. Dan 7:18 Rev 20:4 Rev 5:10 1Co 6:2-3 2Th 2:8 Dan 7:9-11 Luk 22:29-30 Mat 19:28

This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it. Dan 2:40 Dan 7:7 Luk 2:1 And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings. Dan 7:20 Dan 11:36 Rev 13:1 1Ti 4:1-3 2Th 2:3-10 Dan 8:9-12 Rev 12:3 Rev 17:12-13 He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time. Dan 12:7 Rev 12:14 2Th 2:4 Rev 13:5-11 Rev 12:6 Dan 12:11-12 Dan 2:21 1Ti 4:1-3

But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. Rev 20:10-11 2Th 2:8 Dan 7:10-11 Dan 7:22 Rev 11:13 Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’ Psa 72:11 Luk 1:33 Rev 11:15 Dan 7:14 Psa 22:27 Dan 7:18 Dan 2:44 Isa 9:7

Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.” Luk 2:19 Luk 2:51 Dan 4:19 Dan 7:15 Dan 10:8 Dan 11:27 Dan 12:13 Dan 12:9
