2. The four beasts of Daniel 7 represent the four world kingdoms (verses 17, 18). Babylon, the first kingdom (Daniel 2:38, 39), is represented as a lion in Daniel 7:4. (See also Jeremiah 4:7 50:17, 43, 44 for Babylon pictured as a lion elsewhere.) What do the eagles wings mean? What do the four winds of verse 2 represent? The Lord shall bring a nation against thee ... as swift as the eagle flieth. Deuteronomy 28:49. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, ... a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth. Jeremiah 25:32, 33. Answer: The wings of eagles represent speed. (See also Jeremiah 4:13; Habakkuk 1:6-9.) Winds represent strife, commotion, and destruction. (See also Revelation 7:1-3.) bibleuniverse/media-library/study-guide/e/4992/t/who-is-the-antichrist.aspx
