Notes

It is clear that, if the four beasts represent four kingdoms, and the fourth beast stands for the fourth great kingdom, each of the three preceding beasts must represent successive kingdoms in the order in which the symbols are given. Hence the third beast would stand for the third kingdom, and so on to the first. The first great empire being Babylon, it was symbolized by the lion. The second beast, which was like a bear, must indicate Medo-Persia; and the third, or leopard-beast, Grecia.
