"The animals in Daniel 7 parallel the parts of the metal image of Daniel 2. The lion in chapter 7 is Babylon (605-538 B.C). The bear is Medo-Persia (538-331 B.C.). The leopard beast is Grecia (331-301 B.C., at which time it becomes divided into four kingdoms which continue on until around 168 B.C.). The terrible beast is Pagan Rome (168 B. C. to the 5th century A.D., when it becomes broken into ten kingdoms). The little horn is Papal Rome, which gained full power by A.D. 538, after uprooting three kingdoms ( Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths)."
