Daniel 7:1-8
This is a new division in the book of Daniel. It marks the prophetic division. All of Daniel is prophetic, but the first six chapters have a great deal to do with historical settings. Now the 7th chapter has to do with the prophecy and the symbolism of four beasts and we are going to look at that. We are going to see again how God predicted the nations of the world before they came into existence through the prophet Daniel. Daniel understood the times in which he lived.

(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.
(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.
(7) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful ...
