Four large animals came up out of the sea. Each one was different from the others.“ The first animal was like a lion. It had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off. Then it was lifted up from the ground. It stood on two feet like a human being. And the mind of a human being was given to it.

He said,“ I am going to tell you what will happen later. It will take place when God is angry. The vision is about the appointed time of the end.You saw a ram that had two horns. It stands for the kings of Media and Persia.The goat stands for the king of Greece. The large horn between its eyes is the first king.Four horns took the horn’s place when it was broken off. They stand for four kingdoms that will come from his nation. But those kingdoms will not be as powerful as his.

King Nebuchadnezzar, you are the greatest king of all. The God of heaven has given you authority and power. He has given you might and glory.He has put everyone under your control. He has also given you authority over the wild animals and the birds in the sky. It doesn’t matter where they live. He has made you ruler over all of them. You are that head of gold.“ After you, another kingdom will take over. It won’t be as powerful as yours. Next, a third kingdom will rule over the whole earth. The bronze part of the statue stands for that kingdom.Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom. It will be as strong as iron. Iron breaks and smashes everything to pieces. And the fourth kingdom will crush and break all the others.

Then I saw a second beast. This one came out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb. But it spoke like a dragon.
