what are the beasts in the book of Daniel?

The Beast Exposed\n\nThe Bible book of Daniel sheds much light on the meaning of symbolic beasts. Chapter 7 contains a vivid tableau of "four huge beasts"—a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a fearsome beast with big teeth of iron. (Daniel 7:2-7) Daniel tells us that these beasts represent "kings," or political kingdoms, that rule in succession over vast empires.—Daniel 7:17, 23.\n\nRegarding the beast of Revelation 13:1, 2, The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible points out that it "combines in itself the joint characteristics of the four beasts of Daniel's vision . . . Accordingly, this first beast [of Revelation] represents the combined forces of all political rule opposed to God in the world." This observation is affirmed by Revelation 13:7, which says of the beast: "Authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation."*\n\nWhy does the Bible use beasts as symbols of human rulership? For at least two reasons. First, because of the beastly record of bloodshed that governments have accrued over the centuries. "War is one of the constants of history," wrote historians Will and Ariel Durant, "and has not diminished with civilization or democracy." How true that "man has dominated man to his injury"! (Ecclesiastes 8:9) The second reason is that "the dragon [Satan] gave to the beast its power and its throne and great authority." (Revelation 12:9; 13:2) Accordingly, human rulership is a product of the Devil, thus reflecting his beastly, dragonlike disposition.—John 8:44; Ephesians 6:12.\n\nThis does not mean, however, that every human ruler is a direct tool of Satan. Indeed, in one sense, human governments serve as "God's minister," giving structure to human society, without which chaos would rule. And some leaders have protected fundamental human rights, including the right to engage in true worship—something that Satan does not want. (Romans 13:3, 4; Ezr 7:11-27; Acts 13:7) Still, because of the Devil's influence, no human or human institution has ever been able to bring lasting peace and security to the people.# —John 12:31.\n\nThey represent the world powers that started from Babylon up to today. It was a means for his servants to recognize when the end of times were approaching.   During the last world power  (The united nations) his return would be here.

Rev 13:15  And there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might both speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. \nRev 13:16  And it causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on their right hand, or in their foreheads, \nRev 13:17  even that not any might buy or sell except those having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name. \nRev 13:18  Here is the wisdom. Let him having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And its number is six hundred and sixty-six. \n\nRev 14:9  And a third angel followed them, saying with a great voice, If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark in his forehead or in his hand, \nRev 14:10  he also will drink of the wine of the anger of God, having been mixed undiluted in the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented by fire and brimstone before the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. \nRev 14:11  And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name. \n\nRev 16:1  And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the vials of the anger of God on the earth. \nRev 16:2  And the first went and poured out his vial on the earth. And a bad and grievous sore fell on the men who had the mark of the beast, and on those who worshiped his image. \n\nRev 19:20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet doing signs before it, (by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast), and those who had worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire burning with brimstone. \nRev 19:21  And the rest were slain by the sword of Him who sat on the horse, it proceeding out of His mouth. And all the birds were filled from their flesh. \n\nRev 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast nor his image, nor had received his mark on their foreheads, nor in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. \nRev 20:5  But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. \n\n12:13 \nAnd when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. \n\n12:14 \nAnd to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. \n\n12:15 \nAnd the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. \n\n12:16 \nAnd the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. \n\n12:17 \nAnd the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

(18)  His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.  (19)  He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.  (20)  Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.  (21)  He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

No.  The images and language of Revelation was a common literary type at the time.  This type of literature (called "apocalyptic") was characterized by visions filled with fantastic images, which were NOT understood as attempting to be a literal description but depicted major and cataclysmic events (esp acts of God) in human history, and the great struggle between good (God) and evil (his enemies).\n\nIn fact, the images found in Revelation have traceable roots to things that are by no means "alien" (that is in the "ET" sense). For instance, it uses symbolic language based on the Old Testament prophets as well as OT HISTORY -- those who knew their OT well would recognize it. \n\nIn particular, the descriptions of the plagues echoes things like the plagues on Egypt, preceding the exodus, expanded to a much grander scale with poetic embellishments.   Much of the description of heaven reflects the OT tabernacle and Temple (which were themselves meant to be a picture of "heaven on earth", that is where God comes down to meet with man).   Some of this language has been 'filtered' through OT poetic writings, such as the prophets.  (Thus, Ezekiel writing during the Babylonian Exile after the Temple in Jerusalem had been sacked, describes the hope of a more glorious new temple being erected.  Revelation picks up Ezekiel's language.)  \n\nSome of the most unusul imagery is derived from Daniel, who described four great  world kingdoms, beginning with Babylon in his own day and apparently extending to the Roman Empire, as horrible, powerful "beasts" cruelly taking over the earth.  (The end of that vision in Daniel 7 is the restoration of God's intent in creation when "one like a son of man" is given rule over the earth and overcomes these beasts [ompare Genesis 1:26-27].)   Well, in Revelation the images of the four beasts are COMBINED into one great, final beast (the Antichrist).\n\nThe notion that some of the poetic and prophetic language os Scripture was a description of encounters with aliens was put forth in a popular book of the 1970s, *Chariots of the Gods* by Eric vanDaniken.  Unfortunately, he had no real familiarity with the imagery he was reading and so saw things that simply are not there.  He did not recognize, for instance, when Ezekiel was poetically using the imagery of the Temple    (Esp. when Ezekiel describes a wheeled vehicle manned by four winged creatures, he fails to recognize that this is a vision of the ark of the covenant in the Temple -- a stylized 'throne of God' guarded by cherubim-- LEAVING the Temple because God has pronounced judgment on the city and Temple.   This misunderstood vision is the source of the book's name.)

Read Job 41:15-24. This animal "behemoth" does line up with all the features of a dinosaur. And it doesn't fully line up with any other animal that I know.\nAn interesting fact might be that Job is considered to be the oldest book in the Bible.

To my knowledge the Bible doesn't mention anything about dinosaurs.  I've read about donkeys and giants, but no dinosaurs.  I figure I'll just ask Jesus about them when I get up there.

He was defeated in battle in 550 B.C.c* by his grandson Cyrus the Great, the king of Persia, who then became king of the Medes and the Persians and ruled until 530 B.C.\nc*&#92;f* 2 Daniel was a friend and advisor of King Cyrus, and the king honored him more than anyone else. \n 3 3Is 46.1; Jr 51.44.Every day, the Babylonians took food to the idol of their god Bel.  b 3 Bel: Another name for Marduk, the chief god of Babylonia. Bel means “lord.”They brought six hundred pounds of the best wheat flour, fifty gallons of wine, and the meat from forty sheep. \n4 King Cyrus believed that Bel was a powerful god, and he worshiped the idol every day, but Daniel worshiped only his own God. One day, Cyrus asked Daniel, “Why don't you worship Bel?” \n5 Daniel answered, “I refuse to worship idols—they are made by humans. Instead, I worship the living God, because he created heaven and earth, and he rules everyone who lives.” \n6 “But, Daniel,” the king replied, “isn't Bel a living god? Haven't you seen how much he eats and drinks each day?” \n7 Daniel laughed and said, “Don't be fooled, Your Majesty. That idol is merely clay on the inside and bronze on the outside! It never ate or drank anything.” \n8 This made the king angry. So he called in his priests and told them, “Prove to me that Bel  c 8 Prove to me that Bel: Greek “Tell me who.”is eating all this food! If you can't, then you will die. 9 But if you can prove that Bel really is eating the food, then Daniel will die, because he has insulted the god Bel.” \nDaniel said, “Your Majesty, that sounds fair enough to me.” \n10 Now there were seventy priests of Bel, and they and their wives had lots of children. \nThe king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel, 11 and the priests said, “Your Majesty, we will go outside now. Please set out the food and the wine yourself, then shut the door. Drip some hot wax along the edge of the door and press your ring into the wax to leave your special mark. This will show that only you are allowed to open the door.  d 11 Drip some hot wax ... open the door: The king's ring had a special design on it, and he pressed the ring into the soft, hot wax. Then, after the wax cooled, the door could not be opened without breaking the wax.12 When you come back in the morning, if you find that Bel hasn't eaten everything, then you can put us to death. But if the food is gone, this will prove Daniel has been lying, and you can put him to death.” \n13 The priests were not worried at all. They had a secret trap door under the table, and that was how they sneaked into the temple every night to eat the food. \n14 The priests left, and the king arranged Bel's food on the table. Then Daniel told his servants to scatter ashes over the temple floor. The king was the only other person who saw them do this. They shut the door as they went outside, and the king placed his special mark on some hot wax along the edge of the door so that they could tell if the door had been opened. Then they all left. \n15 Later that night, the priests and their wives and children went to the temple as they always did, and they ate and drank everything. \n16 Early the next morning, the king brought Daniel to the temple 17 and asked him, “Daniel, has the wax been broken? Has the door been opened?” \n“No, Your Majesty,” Daniel answered. \n18 As soon as the door was opened,  e 18 door was opened: Greek “doors were opened.”the king looked at the empty table and shouted, “Bel, you are a great god, and you always tell the truth!” \n19 Daniel just laughed. He kept the king from entering the temple and said, “Look at the floor—I wonder who left all those f

Because of a power grab by activist judges like the one in Georgia, the MPA is the only way that the sacred institution of marriage will remain between one man and one woman.

We had this read at our wedding. It's from Genisis, chapter 2\n\n 18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." \n\n 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. \n      But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. \n\n 23 The man said, \n       "This is now bone of my bones \n       and flesh of my flesh; \n       she shall be called 'woman, [k] ' \n       for she was taken out of man." \n\n 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. \n\n \nI think verse 24 is what you're looking for.
