Daniel 2:39
2:39 Now after you another kingdom
will arise, one inferior to yours. Then a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule in all the earth.
Daniel 8:5-7
8:5 While I was contemplating all this, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of all the land without touching the ground. This goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.
8:6 It came to the two-horned ram that I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed against it with raging strength.
8:7 I saw it approaching the ram. It went into a fit of rage against the ram and struck it and broke off its two horns. The ram had no ability to resist it. The goat hurled the ram to the ground and trampled it. No one could deliver the ram from its power.
Daniel 8:20-21
8:20 The ram that you saw with the two horns stands for the kings of Media and Persia.
8:21 The male goat
is the king of Greece,
and the large horn between its eyes is the first king.
Daniel 10:20
10:20 He said, “Do you know why I have come to you?
Now I am about to return to engage in battle with the prince of Persia. When I go, the prince of Greece is coming.
Daniel 11:3-20
11:3 Then a powerful king
will arise, exercising great authority and doing as he pleases.
11:4 Shortly after his rise to power,
his kingdom will be broken up and distributed toward the four winds of the sky
– but not to his posterity or with the authority he exercised, for his kingdom will be uprooted and distributed to others besides these.
11:5 “Then the king of the south and one of his subordinates will grow strong. His subordinate will resist him and will rule a kingdom greater than his.
11:6 After some years have passed, they will form an alliance. Then the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain her power, nor will he continue in his strength. She, together with the one who brought her, her child, and her benefactor will all be delivered over at that time.
11:7 “There will arise in his place one from her family line who will come against their army and will enter the stronghold of the king of the north and will move against them successfully.
11:8 He will also take their gods into captivity to Egypt, along with their cast images and prized utensils of silver and gold. Then he will withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
11:9 Then the king of the north will advance against the empire of the king of the south, but will withdraw to his own land.
11:10 His sons will wage war, mustering a large army which will advance like an overflowing river and carrying the battle all the way to the enemy’s fortress.
11:11 “Then the king of the south will be enraged and will march out to fight against the king of the north, who will also muster a large army, but that army will be delivered into his hand.
11:12 When the army is taken away, the king of the south will become arrogant. He will be responsible for the death of thousands and thousands of people, but he will not continue to prevail.
11:13 For the king of the north will again muster an army, one larger than before. At the end of some years he will advance with a huge army and enormous supplies.
11:14 “In those times many will oppose the king of the south. Those who are violent among your own people will rise up in confirmation of the vision, but they will falter.
11:15 Then the king of the north will advance and will build siege mounds and capture a well-fortified city. The forces of the south will not prevail, not even his finest contingents. They will have no strength to prevail.
11:16 The one advancing against him will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to stand before him. He will prevail in the beautiful land, and its annihilation will be within his power.
11:17 His intention will be to come with the strength of his entire kingdom, and he will form alliances. He will give the king of the south a daughter in marriage in order to destroy the kingdom, but it will not turn out to his advantage.
11:18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastal regions and will capture many of them. But a commander will bring his shameful conduct to a halt; in addition, he will make him pay for his shameful conduct.
11:19 He will then turn his attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, not to be found again.
11:20 There will arise after him one who will send out an exactor of tribute to enhance the splendor of the kingdom, but after a few days he will be destroyed, though not in anger or battle.
Hosea 13:7
13:7 So I will pounce on them like a lion;
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
Revelation 13:2
13:2 Now
the beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. The
dragon gave the beast
his power, his throne, and great authority to rule.
