The Four Beasts of Daniel 7: The Fourth Beast Pt. 2

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.
