Daniel 7:2
Daniel declared, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. 3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.​

This is the same as the Seals becoming unsealed then comes Revelation 7
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.​

These 4 winds start at the 1st Trumpet. The Daniel 7 4 beasts arrive after the 1st Trumpet.

These 4 beast kingdoms arrive at the 6th Trumpet:

Rev 9
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.
Ezekiel 10:15 calls the creatures at the Chebar River 'angels'. The Chebar River is a tributary of the Euphrates River. Here are the 'creatures/ angels' of the Chebar/ Euphrates River from Ezekiel 1
3the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.

4 As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal. 5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness,

6 but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.
[Note: in Hebrew, the word 'each' can be translated as 'one'. Thus:

One had 4 faces and one of them had 4 wings. This is the same as the 4 headed Leopard with 4 wings in Daniel 7.]
7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: 9 their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went.

10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.
[Because Hebrew reads right to left, the 1st Beast/ creature/ angel is the Lion, just like the Lion is 1st in the Daniel 7 list. The last Beast is the 'Ox'/ Bull on the Left side - meaning the last in the list, the 4th Beast of Daniel 7 that 'treads the whole world down'.

So far, we have a 4 headed Leopard, a Lion that is 1st, a Bull that is last, and all have the quality of an eagle. What is the quality most associated with the eagle? Matthew 24:28 & Revelation 19:18 says that eagles are filled with the flesh of many people. And what is the quality of the bear in Daniel 7:5? It devours much flesh. The 'bear' is just a symbol of 'devouring much flesh', in the same manner that eagles 'eat the flesh' of many people.
11 Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.​
All 4 of these beast kingdoms arrive at the 6th Trumpet (which according to my hypothesis should be July 4, 2021).

Daniel 7
4 The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, ‘Arise, devour much flesh.’ 6 After this I looked, and behold, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.
Going back to the 6th Trumpet: Revelation 9

15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.
Now we look at Deuteronomy 33:17

17A firstborn bull—he has majesty,
and his horns are the horns of a wild ox;
with them he shall gore the peoples,
all of them, to the ends of the earth;
they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
The 'horns' is a reference to the 'horns' of the 4th Beast of Daniel 7:7. Ephraim is the Bull/ox; is the last of the 4 Ezekiel 'angel/ creatures'; is the Daniel 7 4th Beast. The 10 horns is a reference to the apostate 10 tribes of Israel that rebelled against 12 tribe Israel.

When we look at the 12 tribes listed in Revelation 7:4-8, the tribes of Dan & Ephraim are missing. Joseph is the father of Ephraim & Manasseh. Joseph is listed as well as Manasseh, but Ephraim is missing. But when you look at the meaning of the word, 'Ephraim,' it means 'doubly fruitful'. Or put another way, it is the 'great multitude' of Revelation 7:9. Going back to Genesis 48:

13And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near him. 14And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands (for Manasseh was the firstborn). 15And he blessed Joseph and said,

“The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
16the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
this phrase in Hebrew is actually 'fullness of the Gentiles'. The 'great multitude' of Revelation 7:9 is the 'fullness of the Gentiles'.

Put another way, the faithful Gentiles (Christians) are the 'fullness of the Gentiles', while the unfaithful Gentiles are part of the 'bull that gores the nations (also translated as 'unites the nations' (ie- unites via the mark of the beast) from Deuteronomy 33:17.

In Revelation 13
1And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”​

We have the 'lion, the bear, & the leopard.' The beast is given 'power, a throne, and great authority'. This corresponds to Daniel 7

4The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. 5And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, ‘Arise, devour much flesh.’ 6After this I looked, and behold, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
These 4 beasts are the illegitimate kingdoms referred to in Hosea 4

1Set the trumpet to your lips!
One like a vulture is over the house of the Lord,
because they have transgressed my covenant
and rebelled against my law.
2To me they cry,
“My God, we—Israel—know you.”
3Israel has spurned the good;
the enemy shall pursue him.

4They made kings, but not through me.
They set up princes, but I knew it not.

With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5I have spurned your calf, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samaria
shall be broken to pieces.​

this relates to 2 Thessalonians 2:4
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Interlinear: who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God -- the day doth not come.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

the word for 'takes his seat' is the G2523 'Kathizo' which means 'to take a seat / to appoint' Strong's Greek: 2523. καθίζω (kathizó) -- to make to sit down, to sit down
That 'appointing' is the Revelation 13
And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.​

I am not getting it.

The two horns on the second beast are like a lamb.

None of the beasts in Daniel 7 featured a lamb.

He is pretending to bring peace to the sea & earth.

Out of all the material I presented, this is what sticks out?

What about the position that the 4 angels of the 6th Trumpet are the Daniel 7 beasts?

What about the position that the 'great multitude' of Revelation 7:9 is a veiled reference to the missing tribe of Ephraim?

What about the position that the Daniel 7 4th beast is a reference to the bull/ ox of Ephraim referenced in Deuteronomy 33:17?

What about the position that the Daniel 7 beasts are the creatures of Ezekiel 1 & 10?

What I am assuming by your diagram is that you are trying to connect the second beast in Revelation 13, as being the little horn person in Daniel 7.

Which I don't see any beast in Daniel 7 as having two horns like a lamb or being a lamb - to validate that connection you seem to be trying to make.

tranquil, I don't know what you are wanting to prove.

What you should have done in hindsight, the very first thing in your opening post is a concise, simple, sentence or two, one brief paragraph, is say - "what I am going to show is that the four beasts in daniel 7 are the 4 angels bound by the river Euphrates in Revelation 6:14 in the sixth trumpet judgement.

Something like that.

And not so much material in any one post, because the reader gets worn down.
