May God bless you as you study His Word!
Thanks LGF, I was looking for any wisdom regarding the name of the man they will propose to be their king in the last days.. Obviously the evil rebellion is at work always trying to deceive and sun day worship for some really is worshipping the creation and not the Creator...
I still consider a system coming where religion will unite and dissolve itself in to one for it can because evil is one but appears in different places to deceive as many as possible..
The world will be a safer more peaceful place they will proclaim and to be allowed part of it you will pledge an allegiance to Him who will seem like a knight in shining armour at that time because much destruction will have come to pass.. but the Elect will not be deceived if they remember everything they are Taught by their Lord and Saviour unto the end.

Here is an excerpt from my commentary:

3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
I see a strong parallel between Daniel’s vision here and Nebuchadnezzar’s in chapter 2; and, in light of verses 9-11, there must be both the obvious historical fulfillment, and an end-time fulfillment, which equals or supercedes the historical fulfillment in importance.
4 The 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.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: The winged lion is a figure of Babylon, as is the gold in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision. Alternately, in modern times the standing lion represents Great Britain, the plucked wings represent the american revolution; and the Eagle represents the USA. (See: Da 2:32, 38, Rv 13:2.)
{Return to: Da 2:38, Da 2:44, Rv 12:3 }
5 And 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.
a second, like to a bear The bear is a figure of the Medo-Persian empire as is the silver in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision. The three ribs represent Cyrus’ major conquests: Lydia, Egypt, and Babylon. Alternately the bear in modern times represents Russia, Gog and Magog of Rv 20:8. (See: Da 2:32, 39, Rv 13:2.)
{Return to: Da 2:39, Da 8:3, Rv 12:3 } 6 After 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.
and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl The winged leopard represents Greece under Alexander the Great; who was succeeded in part by Seleucus. The winged leopard is a figure of the Greco- Seleucid empire, as is the brass in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision. Alternately, the leopard. In modern times represents Germany, and the fowl represents France. (See: Da 2:32, 39, Rv 13:2.)
the beast had also four heads When Alexander the Great died, his brother and sons were murdered, and he was succeeded by: Seleucus, who ruled Judea, Syria and the East; Cassander, who ruled Europe; Ptolemy, who ruled Egypt and North Africa; and Lisymicus, who ruled what would become the Roman Provence of Asia. It likely also represents the four tetrarchies of the Seleucid Empire in Roman times. I don’t see how the four heads correlate with an end-time fulfillment; but that certainly doesn’t mean that they don’t.

7 After 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.
and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: which is a figure of Rome, as is the iron in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision. (See: Da 2:33, Da 2:40.) {Return to: Da 2:40, Da 7:19, verse 23 }
and it had ten horns, which correspond to the iron mixed with clay in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision. (See: Da 2:33, 41-43.)and, I believe, are a figure of both the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ of Charlemagne, and the charter members of the European Common Market of modern times. {Return to: Da 2:43, Da 7:20 }
8 I 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.
I do not find a parallel with this in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision; but, I believe it represents the antichrist of (1Jn 2:18, Rv 13:18), and/or the false prophet of
(RV 16:13, Rv 19:20, Rv 20:10).

That depends on perspective.
Without American intervention, England and France would have lost the war. From that perspective USA, Germany and Japan were the 'big three'.
USA Russia and China emerged most powerful. From that perspective they are the 'Big three'
From a cultural perspective England and France were most important to USA. from that perspective they are the 'big three'.
I can't answer from a Russian, German or Japanese perspective but I'm sure they would yield different answers.
