If you want to correctly interpret Daniel's prophecy concerning the 4th beast in Dan 7, you first have to comprehend who the 4 beasts are in Dan 7:17.
Dan 7:16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
- Who are these four kings that represent the 4 beasts: Babylon, Persia Media, Greece, and Rome?
Dan 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Dan 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
- I think that if you can name the 4 kings that represent the 4 beasts, then you can know who the 10 horns are and figure out the true interpretation of the 4th beast and it's events concerning prophecies.
Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
- There are 11 horns on the 4th beast, that are also kings, that also arises out of the earth like the 4 beast kings so that we now have 12 kings represented in/on the 4th beast. The question now is, is it twelve or eleven kings in/on the 4th beast?
I will leave the rest to you to figure out if they're really kings or kingdoms, based on the fact that each beast represented a king. The topic of this thread should clue you in.
Food for thought!
