the Messenger of God, contained in the seventh chapter of the
Book of the Prophet Daniel, deserves to be seriously studied
and impartially considered. In it great events in the history
of mankind, which succeed each other within a period of

more than a thousand years, are represented by the figures

of four formidable monsters in a prophetical vision to Daniel.
"Four winds of heaven were roaring against the great sea."

The first beast that comes out from the deep sea is a winged
lion; then comes forth the second beast in the shape of a bear
holding three ribs between its teeth. This is succeeded by
the third terrible beast in the form of a tiger having four
wings and four heads. The fourth beast, which is more
formidable and ferocious than the former ones, is a monster

with ten horns upon its head, and has iron teeth in its mouth.
