Description
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.” – Daniel 7:7-8 (ESV)

The fourth beast in Daniel’s vision was not presented or symbolized by any particular animal and was explained far more explicitly than the other three. It represents the Roman Empire and corresponds with the “legs of iron” in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Daniel 2:32 ). Erasing all traces from the kingdom before it, Rome was on many levels, different, diverse, and far crueler from the kingdoms before it indeed. Nero, the guy who sponsored the project to deep-fried Christians in boiling oil, came into power here.

This is where things become scary…

Part of this beast’s prophecy has not come to pass even in our present age. In Daniel 7:11-28 you will find that the prophecy of this same beast extends as far as the return of Jesus Christ and the Day of Judgment (which obviously hasn’t occurred yet). Simply put, we’re still living in the era of this prophecy.

The ten horns correspond with the “ten toes of clay and iron” in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream meaning 10 kings will rise from it. However, three kings will be subdued in rise of another one. This last horn represents, what we Christians like to call, The Anti-Christ, for this kingdom will stand until the Last Day.

Still being part of the 4th beast, it is possible that the coming Anti-Christ will have some sort of connection with ancient Rome rising up to what could be a kind of “revived" Roman Empire.
