THE ENTRY IN BRIEF

Scriptural Account

Daniel sees a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful, unlike the three before it. It has great iron teeth and ten horns, and it devours, crushes and tramples. A little horn with eyes and a boastful mouth rises among the ten. This entry looks at it as a symbol of Ancient Rome and of the end yet to come.

It has great iron teeth and claws of bronze (Daniel 7:7, 19).
It has ten horns, and a little horn with eyes and a mouth speaking great things rises among them (Daniel 7:8).
The Ancient of Days takes His seat, and the beast is judged (Daniel 7:9–11).
Dominion is given to the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7:18, 27).
