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.
