Daniel 7:4 meaning and explanation
The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man.
Daniel 7:4, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Daniel is recounting a night vision received in Belshazzar's first year, and here he describes the first of four beasts rising from the churning sea. The lion with eagle's wings suggests a proud, swift empire, and later in the chapter an angel explains that the four beasts are four kings arising from the earth.
