Daniel 7 and 2 are the same vision.
In 2 they are referred to as metals.
In 7 as animals but the Roman Empire is iron.
In 7 four kingdoms will come after another that would be different than each other.
Which are the 4 ways of people.
Although they all went by the 4 ways one of those ways was their chief mode of operation.
Babylon- lion, represents human religion, and the occult.
Rode on eagles wings because king Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged the God of Israel as the greatest god and He mightily blessed them.
His son blew it and the wings were plucked and then they became known as the kingdom of man.
Medo-Persia- bear, represents physical cruelty in war.
The Persian influence was greater.
Conquered 3 nations who were then in league with them.
Greece- leopard, represents human wisdom.
When Alexander died his kingdom was divided in to 4 sections with a general ruling each one.
Roman Empire- iron, represents pushing for territory, world domination.
10 horns come from them which is the world divided in to 10 sections with a leader in each section.
Which they shall devour the whole earth, tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Which is by the new age christianity(1 Timothy 4:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:2-4) that influences the world and the religion of the antichrist.
In 2 they mingle with the seed of men the world.
All Caucasian nations and nations taken over by them will be in league together for the new age plan.
The antichrist comes from the 10 horns.
The Roman Empire does not lose their dominion until Jesus puts down the world.
The other 3 beasts will not have physical dominion again but their lives were prolonged for a season and time which their ways are still on earth.
And they all show up at the beast kingdom in Revelation 13.
10 horns- Roman Empire physical dominion.
Lion- Babylon human religion, the occult, and the kingdom of man.
Islam is not the beast kingdom and it is Babylon in spirit.
Bear- Medo- Persia physical cruelty in war to take away all people who oppose them.
Leopard- Greece human wisdom.
All 4 kingdoms chief mode of operation the kingdom of man in its entirety.
In 2 all 4 kingdoms do not fall until Jesus hits the feet of the image which the 10 toes is the same as the 10 horns.
