The book of Daniel is filled with prophecies and mysteries. One of the most talked about prophecies and mysteries is that of the Son of Man being presented to the Ancient of Days. This interaction seems to be a key event in Daniel 7; therefore, shouldn’t it be important for us to know who these two individuals are? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the answer to these questions and more in her video, Daniel 7: The Ancient of Days and The Son of Man.

Daniel 7
The Ancient of Days
9 As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took His seat; His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool; His throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. 10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before Him; a thousand thousands served Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:9-10
The Son of Man
13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
As we discussed in our last video, The Four Beasts of Daniel 7: The Fourth Beast Pt. 1, the fourth beast as a king is Lucifer, who is also called Abaddon. He is described as being terrifying, which also means awesome or revered, like the name of God, which was Lucifer’s original sin of trying to be equal to God the Father. He is also the King of Terror, which is why Daniel describes the fourth beast as being dreadful and why he goes to destruction. This fourth beast is stronger than any of the other beasts, which is why Leviathan needs his help to take down the strong fortresses. Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find out who the fourth beast is as a kingdom, as well as the ten horns and the eleventh horn that comes up before which three of the original horns fell, in our video The Four Beasts of Daniel 7: The Fourth Beast Pt. 2.

The Fourth Beast of Daniel 7 Pt. 2 Verses and Summary:
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:7-8
23 Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.’ 24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.
Daniel 7:23-24
The Fourth Beast of Daniel 7 has ten horns:
These ten kings will receive royal power from the Beast Out of The Sea. The beast will also divide the land of Israel among other nations to give each of the ten kings a kingdom of his own. The ten kings will then give their authority, power, and land to Abaddon, who will form the fourth kingdom, which is Mystery Babylon. This is why John records, in Revelation 17, that Mystery Babylon is carried in or established by Abaddon. These ten kings then rule over Mystery Babylon or the fourth kingdom with Abaddon for one hour.
The reason they only get one hour with Abaddon is because three of the ten kings are cut down by the Man of Lawlessness as he rises to power. The Man of Lawlessness is the Son of Destruction, which can be interpreted as the Son of Abaddon since Abaddon is the Hebrew word for destruction.
The Fourth Beast of Daniel 7 as a Kingdom :
This kingdom will rise or be established after the death of the Two Witnesses. The Two Witnesses testify in Jerusalem until Abaddon arises and kills them after their testimony is complete. Then, the Beast will divide up the land of Israel (presumably with other nations) to the ten kings, so they each have a chunk of Israel for each of their kingdoms. But they each give their power, authority, and land to Abaddon, who then forms the Fourth Kingdom.
The Fourth Kingdom has to include the land of Israel because the little horn that comes out of this kingdom is the Man of Lawlessness, and he is the one who sits in the Temple of God and declares himself to be God.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
So far, we’ve unpacked the first three beasts of Daniel 7 in our past four videos. The first beast we identified as Satan, the Dragon of Revelation. The second beast we identified as Leviathan, the Beast of Revelation. And the third beast we identified as Belial, the False Prophet of Revelation. This just leaves the fourth beast. Because there are so many different parts of the fourth beast, we’ll break this last beast into three separate videos. Join ArieRashelle as she goes through who the fourth beast is as a king in our video, The Four Beasts of Daniel 7: The Fourth Beast Pt. 1.

The Fourth Beast of Daniel 7 Pt. 1 Summary:
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:7-8
17 These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.
The book of Daniel is filled with prophecies of the end times. Many are scary and frightening, especially the four beasts of Daniel 7. We’ve already gone through the first two beasts of Daniel 7 in our last three videos. In our first two videos we explained that Beast One was Satan and that Beast Two was Leviathan. Check out those videos below.
The third beast is described as a leopard with four wings, four heads, and dominion. Join ArieRashelle as she goes through each description of the third beast of Daniel 7 in her fourth video, The Four Beasts of Daniel 7: The Third Beast, to find the truth behind who this mysterious beast is.

Summary of The Third Beast of Daniel 7
6 After this I looked, and behold, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
Daniel 7:6
As we stated in the video, the third beast is a leopard because it lies wait watching over its territory. It has two pairs of wings representing the two obligations of his people to receive protection from him. It has four heads representing the four leaders or spirits that it uses to deceive the world and the Church. Lastly, it is given dominion and/or authority.
As we stated in the video, the third beast is the Beast Out of The Earth, also known as the False Prophet. As we stated in our video ‘The Beast Out of The Earth,’ the False Prophet is Belial. The False Prophet is a false religious leader that leads the world and some of the Church astray.
Verses For The Time of The Third Beast of Daniel 7
5b I will not leave you or forsake you.
Joshua 1:5b
2 Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
Psalms 129:2
16 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
Proverbs 24:16
4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Daniel’s vision of Daniel 7 was filled with four horrifying beasts. We discussed that the first beast is Satan and not a kingdom or nation in our first two videos. But who is the second beast that is like a bear? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the right answer to this question in our video The Four Beasts of Daniel 7: The Second Beast.
Daniel 7:5 2 Samuel 17:8 Hosea 13:8 Revelation 13:4 Job 41:10 Revelation 13:5 Daniel 11:36-39 Genesis 2:21-22 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 Numbers 11:33 Proverbs 30:14 Joel 1:6 Revelation 13:7-10 Matthew 24:9 Luke 9:23-25 Philippians 1:21 Revelation 13:2 Revelation 12:11
Summary of The Second Beast of Daniel 7
The second beast of Daniel 7 has four descriptions in all:
A bear
Raised up on one side
Three ribs in its mouth
Told ‘Devour much flesh’
As we stated in the video, the bear represents the fierceness and aggression of a she-bear. It is only raised up on one side because the second beast has limited power. It has three ribs in its mouth because it tramples on the Church, but it does not destroy it. Lastly, it is told to ‘devour much flesh’ because it slaughters many human beings, especially those in the Church.
How can we be sure that the many of the Church will die during this time?
9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
Revelation 6:9-11
Words of Encouragement for the time of the second beast of Daniel 7
Don’t lose heart, don’t be distraught. As we stated in our videos, we overcome Satan and all of his kingdom by the Blood of the Lamb and The Word of our Testimony. We overcome because Jesus has already overcome the world. Don’t be discouraged, be encouraged by the spirit of God. Always remember:
8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
In our video The Four Beast of Daniel 7: The First Beast Pt. 1, we discussed the first three riddles or mysteries of the first beast Daniel saw coming out of the sea in his vision. We addressed the reason behind Daniel seeing Satan as having a lion’s body, eagles’ wings, and then suddenly, those eagles’ wings being plucked off. Join ArieRashelle as she explains the last two riddles or mysteries of the first beast in Daniel 7.

The First Beast of Daniel 7
Description of the First Beast of Daniel 7
4 The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it.
Daniel 7:4
The First Beast Part One Description
Satan is the first Beast of Daniel 7. Satan is described as having a lion’s body because of his spiritual authority as a Glorious One.
8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”
Jude 1:8-9
He is described as having eagles’ wings because of his right to enter the presence of God, but that was stripped away when he was thrown from Heaven to earth, which is why his eagles’ wings were plucked off.
The book of Daniel is filled with End Times mysteries. One of the most well-known chapters regarding the End Times is Daniel 7.

Who is the First Beast of Daniel 7?
Satan is the first beast of Daniel 7. His authority, rights, and his fall is all portrayed in Daniel’s vision of the four beasts.

Jude 1:8-9
One of the revelations of Daniel 7, is Satan’s authority as a Glorious One.
