Zechariah 1:18-19
Vision Two: The Four Horns
1:18 (2:1) Once again I looked and this time I saw four horns.
1:19 So I asked the angelic messenger who spoke with me, “What are these?” He replied, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
Daniel 2:38-40
2:38 Wherever human beings,
wild animals,
and birds of the sky live – he has given them into your power.
He has given you authority over them all. You are the head of gold.
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.
2:40 Then there will be a fourth kingdom, one strong like iron. Just like iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything, and as iron breaks in pieces
all of these metals,
so it will break in pieces and crush the others.
Daniel 7:3-7
7:3 Then four large beasts came up from the sea; they were different from one another.
7:4 “The first one was like a lion with eagles’ wings. As I watched, its wings were pulled off and it was lifted up from the ground. It was made to stand on two feet like a human being, and a human mind was given to it.
7:5 “Then a second beast appeared, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and devour much flesh!’
7:6 “After these things, as I was watching, another beast like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. This beast had four heads, and ruling authority was given to it.
7:7 “After these things, as I was watching in the night visions a fourth beast appeared – one dreadful, terrible, and very strong. It had two large rows of iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and anything that was left it trampled with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that came before it, and it had ten horns.
Daniel 8:22
8:22 The horn that was broken
and in whose place there arose four others stands for four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, though they will not have his strength.
