four.Four kingdoms, (ver. 17,) called beasts, from their tyranny and oppression, emerging from the wars and commotions of the world.

Dan. 2:32‑33,37‑40• ³²This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
³³His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
³⁷Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
³⁸And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
³⁹And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
⁴⁰And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. (Dan. 2:32‑33,37‑40)

Zech. 6:1‑8• ¹And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
²In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
³And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
⁴Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
⁵And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
⁶The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
⁷And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
⁸Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. (Zech. 6:1‑8)

beasts.

Dan. 7:4‑8,17• ⁴The 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.
⁵And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
⁶After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
⁷After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
⁸I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
¹⁷These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. (Dan. 7:4‑8,17)

Psa. 76:4• ⁴Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. (Psa. 76:4)

;

Ezek. 19:3‑8• ³And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
⁴The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
⁵Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
⁶And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
⁷And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
⁸Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit. (Ezek. 19:3‑8)

;

Rev. 13:1• ¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Rev. 13:1)

• It is not, however, to be supposed that their rise was simultaneous, for if it is that they represent, as scarcely any one doubts, the same four empires as Nebuchadnezzar’s image typifies, they appear successively on the scene; and, indeed, this is indicated by Daniel in verse 6 (when he says, “After this I beheld, and lo another”) and also in verse 1. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)

• Here all alike, while differing in their character, and perhaps in degrees of excellency, are seen as beasts to show their moral features, for God being shut out, self, selfish appetites, earthly aims and earthly motives and objects, cruelty and rapacity, characterize all these, Gentile kingdoms. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)
