four great beasts. These are not the four dominions of Daniel 2. They stand up one after the other, and each stands, successively, in the place of the other. These are to arise in "the days of" those last "ten kings" of Daniel 2:44. These continue the last of Nebuchadnezzar's last dominion, and do exist together. See note on Daniel 7:12 below.
