Daniel 7:1-3

Daniel’s Dream of Four Beasts 1In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying in bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream. 2Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea.

3Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.
