Horns On Heads Of Beasts

[Michael37]

Daniel's Vision Of Four Beasts: (Seven Heads & Ten Horns Total + One Little Horn)

Dan 7:1-6  In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.  (2)  Daniel spoke, saying, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea.  (3)  And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.  (4)  The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.  (5)  "And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: 'Arise, devour much flesh!'  (6)  "After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

This beast was like a leopard with four heads, and four wings of a fowl at the back of it ( Daniel 7:6). This beast represents the Grecian empire, the third superpower of the ancient world. Led by Alexander the Great, the Grecian army defeated Persia's Darius III at the battle of Arbela in 331 B. C. Just as the eagle's wings on the back of the lion denoted speed of conquest at war, the four wings of a fowl at the back of this leopard represent an unparalleled speed of conquest at war. If Babylon was swift in conquering nations, the Grecian empire was unsurpassed under the leadership of Alexander the great. By the time Alexander was 33 years, he had the world at his feet. Even though he conquered the world within a very short period, he could not conquer himself. He died of a fever which was brought on by excessive intake of alcohol. When he was about to die, he was asked the straightforward question: To whom will you leave the kingdom? And his reply was; "the strongest". Within a period of 20 years the Grecian empire was plunged into civil war as the generals of Alexander the great tested their strength against each other. It was not until the Battle of Ipsus in 301 B. C., that four of Alexander's generals divided the Grecian empire among themselves. These four generals were Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy and Seleucus. Cassander took Greece and Macedonia; Lysimachus took Thrace, Bithynia, Pergamum and much of Asia Minor; Ptolemy took Egypt, Lybia, and Palestine; while Seleucus took over Asia Minor, Syria, and Persia which included Babylon. Thus friends, the four heads of the leopard represent the four generals who took over the Grecian empire after the demise of Alexander the great. Greece ruled the ancient world from 331 B. C. to 168 B. C.
 

Dan 7:7-8  After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.  (8)  I was watching the horns with care, and I saw another coming up among them, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots: and there were eyes like a man's eyes in this horn, and a mouth saying great things.

Ministering Angel's Interpretation:

Dan 7:23-25  This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.  (24)  And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings.  (25)  And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.  

Divine Judgment:

Dan 7:9-12  CEV Thrones were set up while I was watching, and the Eternal God took his place. His clothing and his hair were white as snow. His throne was a blazing fire with fiery wheels,  (10)  and flames were dashing out from all around him. Countless thousands were standing there to serve him. The time of judgment began, and the books were opened.  (11)  I watched closely to see what would happen to this smaller horn because of the arrogant things it was saying. Then before my very eyes, the fourth beast was killed and its body destroyed by fire.  (12)  The other three beasts had their authority taken from them, but they were allowed to live a while longer.

Dan 7:26-28  But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.  (27)  And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.  (28)  Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.

John's Vision Of Two Beasts: (Seven Heads & Ten Horns + Two Lamb-like Horns )

Rev 13:1-2  And I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. And on its horns were ten crowns, and on its heads was the name of blasphemy.  (2)  And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and its feet like those of a bear, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him its power and its seat and great authority.

When we see what Great Federations have great power and authority in our world today, and then look at the emblems they are well known for, we can see who each of these `beasts` represent.

 

1.     A Lion with Eagle`s wings - Great Britain & America. Great Britain was the first great power to arise in contemporary times. America came from there and `broke off` and became independent.

2.     A ferocious Bear with 3 ribs in its mouth - Russia. Russia came from the Soviet Union which was the second great power to arise, after WW1. It devoured country after country into a great Federation.

3.     A winged Leopard with four heads - The European Union. This Union began after WW2 with 4 leaders/heads of countries.

4.     A terrifying beast - Islam. This great power has yet to come to its full potential.

I actually posted this on the 2nd of December 2023 but for some reason it was hidden until just now. (I was looking at Starise's e-bike video when suddenly this thread opened up in its place without my selecting it. Truth is stranger than fiction)

So, Michael,

the EU with just over 300 million people will be more terrifying than Islam with nearly 2 Billion people?

I don't drag the Four Beasts of Daniel 7 past 1453AD when the Roman Empire came to an end in the geopolitical sense.

But, Michael, I believe God does.

`The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. ` (Dan. 7: 23)

And this is 3 1/2 years before the Lord sets up His rule through Israel. (Dan. 7: 25 - 27)
