Daniel 7 vision

Daniel sees a vision during the first year of King Belshazzar's reign in Babylon and recounts it in chapter 7. He describes four beasts that come out of the sea, with the last of them being 'terrifying, dreadful, and very strong. It devoured and crushed its victims with huge iron teeth and trampled their remains beneath its feet.'

The four beasts represent four world powers. If I understand it correctly, the fourth beast will be the strongest and will devour the world. It will have ten kings who will rule kingdoms or empires. From them will come one additional king who will subdue three of the original kings, defy God, oppress Christians, and change religious festivals and laws.

I am definitely going to have to dig deeper.
