Scripture Reference:

• Daniel 7 (further images / scripture text)

Description: As the four winds blow upon the waters, out of the sea emerge four beasts: one with the head of a lion and wings of the eagle; a second was in the form of a bear and had three ribs in its mouth; the third beast had four heads and four wings; and the fourth beast had long teeth, multiple horns, and hooves like those of an ox. The image indicates different countries bellow each beast to represent the four kings that will arise from the earth.
