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 arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
³³{i}its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.{/i}
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 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; {i}then another third kingdom of brass, which shall{/i} 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)

⁴{i}And I spoke and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?{/i}
⁵{i}And the angel answered and said unto me{/i}, These are the four spirits of the heavens which go forth {i}from standing before the Lord of all the earth.{/i}
⁶{i}That in which are the black horses goeth forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth towards the south country;{/i}
⁷{i}and the strong go forth, and seek to go that they may walk to and fro through the earth. And he said,{/i} Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. {i}And they walked to and fro through the earth.{/i}
⁸{i}And he cried unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, See, these that go forth towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.{/i} (Zech. 6:1‑8)

beasts.

Dan. 7:4‑8,17• ⁴The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings: {i}I beheld till its wings were plucked; and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and{/i} 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{i}, and{/i} it had three ribs in the mouth of it, between the teeth of it; and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
⁶{i}After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, and{/i} 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; {i}and{/i} it had ten horns.
⁸I considered the ten horns that were in its head, 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 a man, and a mouth that spake very 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• ⁴Splendid [art] thou, glorious,{HR}More 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 places, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fullness 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 I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names 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)
