The first beast he saw was like a lion that has eagle’s wings.
However, while he was still gazing at the lion wondering how it developed eagle’s wings, all of a sudden, he noticed the wings were plucked off. The beast was raised up and made to stand up straight. And then a human mind was given to it.
The second beast looked like a bear standing on its hind legs. It was holding three ribs between its teeth, and a voice said to it, “Go on, eat as much meat as you can!”
The third beast looked like a leopard, but on its back, there were four wings, like the wings of a bird, and it had four heads. It had a look of authority about it.
The fourth beast was powerful, horrible, terrifying. It has huge iron teeth and with that it crushed its victims, and then it trampled on them. Unlike the other beasts, this beast had ten horns. But in the middle of these ten horns, a little horn was formed, it grew and tore out three of the horns that were already there. This little horn had human eyes and a mouth that was boasting proudly.
