I saw in another thread, a reference to the vision of the four beasts in Daniel, and I decided to study up on it a little bit, but i seem to be having some difficulty, anyone have any opinions?
"And the four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse from one another. The first was like a lion, and had eagles wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it" Daniel 7:3-4
I figured I would just start with the first beast, otherwise this thread could get very lengthy. What do you think the symbolism of this passage is? What do the beast, lion, wings, etc. symbolize? What is this prophecy referring to and, how does that help christians in the realm of apolegetics? Any opinion would be helpful, thanks!
