THE FOUR BEASTS OF DANIEL’S VISION

Forty-eight years after King Nebuchadnezzar had his "dream" in B.C. 555, Daniel in a vision stood upon the shore of the "Great Sea" (the Mediterranean), and saw four "Great Beasts" come up out of the sea in succession.

A Winged Lion-- The Babylonian Empire

A Bear with 3 Ribs-- The Medo-Persian Empire

A Leopard with 4 Wings and 4 Heads-- The Greek Empire

A Dreadful and Terrible Beast-- The Roman Empire
