DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 7 – The Four Beasts
Chapter 7 — The Four Beasts

VERSE 1. In the first year of Belshazzar king of

Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his

head upon his bed; then he wrote the dream,

and told the sum of the matters.

THIS is the same Belshazzar mentioned in

chapter 5. Chronologically, therefore, this

chapter follows chapter 5; but chronological

order has been disregarded in order that the

historical part of the book might stand by

itself, and the prophetic part, on which we

now enter, might not be interrupted by

writings of that nature.

VERSE 2. Daniel spake and said, I saw in’ my

vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of

the heaven strove upon the great sea. 3. And

four great beasts came up from the sea,

diverse one from another.
