4 like q leopard which had on the back
OF il four wings Of fowl. the beast
had also four heads, and dominion was
given TO H. The third kingdom,
Grecia, is represented by this symbol
| II wings upon the lion signified rap
idity Of conquest, il signifies the same
here, and we find Alexander in less
than eight years, marched his army
more than fifty-one hundred miles.
The beast had four heads. The Gree
ian empire maintained its unity but
little longer than the life time of Al
exander, who drank heavily, and died
in a drunken debauch, in the prime Of
life, and the prophet saw by the four
heads, his kingdom should not go TO
his posterity, (who were put out Of the
way), but be divided to the four winds
of heaven. Dan XI 3-4. And history
proves this also true, for within if
teen years after his career ended in
fever induced by a drunken debauch,
the empire was divided among his four
leading generals. Lysimachus had the
north above Jerusalem. Cassander
had the west, Ptolemy the south, and
Seeulus had the east. So today the
word calls those countries, as divided
then, the king Of the north, and king
Of the south, etc. The Leopard had
four heads and the rough goat of
dan. VIII-S) had four horns and the
kingdom was to have four divisions.
Dan. VII T. After this | saw in the
night visions, and beheld a fourth
beast, dreadful and terrible, and
strong exceedingly; and it had great
iron teeth; it devoured and broke 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. This beast CORE
spends to the fourth division of the
image Of Daniel two. 1t devoured as
with iron teeth, and broke in pieces;
and it ground the nations into the very
dust, beneath its brazen feet. 1t had
ten horns which are explained in
verse "a (of Daniel y to be ten kings
or kingdoms which should arise out of
this empire. Rome was divided into
ten kingdoms-as follows: The Huns,
The Ostrogoths, the Visigoths, the Bur-
the .Heruli, the Anglo Sax
ons, and the Lambards To-day the
Franks represent France, the Lom-
Dards Italians, etc. Verse s. con-
sidered the horns, and, behold, there
,ame up among them another little
norm, before whom there were three Of
he first horns plucked up by the roots;
md behold, in this horn were eyes like
he eyes Of man, and a mouth speak
ng great things. This little horn rep
'esented the Papacy, three kingdoms
we're plucked up before it, the Heruli,

we're opposed to the arrogant claims
