Fourth Beast

The Fourth Beast: Rule of antichrists in tribulation? Let's examine.

FOURTH BEAST: REIGN OF SATAN IN TRIBULATION?

Da 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful <01763> and terrible, and strong exceedingly <03493>; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Da 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding <03493> dreadful <01763>, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

Da 2:31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent <03493>, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible <01763>.

Da 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

Ps 94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

2Ki 25:13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

Eze 25:6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

Re 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Da 8:10 And it (little horn) waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

Re 12:4 And his tail (red dragon with 7 heads - crowned and 10 horns) drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

Isa 9:15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

Da 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

Jer 12:10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

Da 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse <08133> from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Da 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another (little horn) shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse <08133> from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Da 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

Da 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change <08133> times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

TEETH OF THE WICKED:

Da 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

De 32:24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

Da 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

Da 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

SALVATION: REVELATION OF CHRIST WHILE SATAN GOES INTO PERDITION

Da 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Da 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Re 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Da 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

Da 7:12 As concerning the rest <07606> of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

Re 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Re 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Re 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

Da 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

Mt 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Da 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Fourth Beast appears to point to the rule of Satan (antichrist) at the start of the great tribulation. The number four seems to point to the universal nature of this destruction; Time when the two witnesses are killed (kingdom trodden down). Then Christ is revealed in judgment when He unseals the Bible to bring the Elect out of Babylon and allows Satan to totally destroy the unsaved body.
