Daniel 7:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Daniel 7:3
The vision's beasts emerge: "And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another." These beasts represent four successive world empires (Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome). The phrase "diverse one from another" emphasizes distinctive characteristics. Unlike Daniel 2's statue (human form, noble metals), chapter 7 depicts empires as beasts—from God's perspective, human kingdoms are predatory, brutal, and inhuman. This dual perspective (2's statue, 7's beasts) reveals truth: empires appear glorious to humans but beastly to God.
