Dan. 7:5      Dan. 7:7

Daniel 7:6

After this [after the second beast], I saw another beast [symbolizing a king and a kingdom, see Dan. 7:17]. It looked like a leopard with four wings on its back (sides) that looked like bird wings. The beast had four heads and was given great power (authority to rule).
[The characteristics of a leopard are speed and bloodthirstiness. The four wings increase the speed of this already fast animal. This accurately describes the Greek empire, which conquered the entire known world at lightning speed. Alexander the Great became king at only 20 years of age in 336 BC. In less than 10 years, he had conquered the entire Medo-Persian Empire, all the way to the border with India. It is said that he then wept because there was no more territory to conquer. The fact that there were four wings may also allude to the four corners of the earth and that it would be a world empire.
The four heads may represent rulers, see Dan. 2:38; Isa. 7:8–9; Rev 13:3, 12. The vision predicts that the Greek empire would split into four empires, and that is exactly what happened. Alexander died in 323 BC in the city of Babylon from alcohol poisoning, aged only 32. After internal strife, the empire was divided between four of his generals.]
