THE ENTRY IN BRIEF
Scriptural Account
Next Daniel sees a beast like a leopard. It has four wings like a bird on its back and four heads, and dominion is given to it. This entry looks at its strange form and the authority it is given.
A leopard with four wings and four heads represents extraordinary speed and divided power (Daniel 7:6).
A swift male goat conquers a two-horned ram, symbolizing Greece’s victory over Medo-Persia (Daniel 8:5–7, 20–21).
The goat’s great horn represents Greece’s first king, commonly identified as Alexander the Great (Daniel 8:21).
Four succeeding kingdoms arise after the great king’s downfall (Daniel 8:8, 22; 11:3–4).
