Daniel 7:4

The first [wild beast—symbolizing a king and a kingdom, see Dan. 7:17] resembled a lion, but had wings like an eagle. As I watched, its wings were torn off. It was lifted up from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human, and it was given a human heart.
[The lion and the eagle are associated with the Babylonian kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar is compared to both of these images in the Bible, as a lion, see Jer. 4:7; 49:19; 50:17, 44, and as an eagle in Jer. 49:22; Lam. 4:19; Ezek. 17:3; Hab. 1:8. The lion was also one of Babylon's symbols. Over 100 lions adorned the famous Ishtar Gate. Statues of winged lions have been found in the ruins of Babylon, and it is believed that this was the symbol of the empire. Both the lion and the eagle are predators. The lion is the king of the land and the eagle is the king of the air.
The vision in which the wings are removed can symbolically describe what happened to Nebuchadnezzar when he was humbled in chapter 4. During the seven years he was insane, he did not go forth and conquer more territories. After his restoration, he no longer rules like a wild beast but has been given a human heart.]
