Daniel 7:2-7

2Daniel 1said, “I was 2looking in my vision by night, and behold, the 3four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.

3And four great 4beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another.

4The first was 5like a lion but had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and set up on two feet like a man; a human 6mind also was given to it.

5And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and they said this to it: ‘Arise, devour much meat!’

6After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, 7like a leopard, which had on its 8back four wings of a bird; the beast also had 9four heads, and dominion was given to it.

7After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a 10fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had 11ten horns.
