THIRD BEAST: Stuart.
6
“After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
The leopard is in the Scottish (the Stuart kings were from Scotland) Lord Lion king of Arms coat of Arms:
The Right Honourable the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the head of Lyon Court, is the most junior of the Great Officers of State in Scotland and is the Scottish official with responsibility for regulating heraldry in that country, issuing new grants of arms, and serving as the judge of the Court of the Lord Lyon, the oldest heraldic court in the world that is still in daily operation.
Lord Lyon King of Arms - Wikipedia
Above is a leopard.
There are four small
'wings' on the leopard's tail.
The Stuart dynasty had only four kings:
Charles I and II, James I and II.
For the first time, the Scottish kings have had the right to rule over England.
Some details provided by the angel to Daniel in Daniel 7 could seem superfluous. For exemple, the Stuart dynasty is portrayed with four
'wings like those of a bird'.
Daniel 7:6:
And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird.
We know that there are indeed four hairs on the leopard's tail, behind its back, like the wings of a little bird (short and curved). But we also know from the same verse that this dynasty had only four kings:
This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
It happens that these
four kings had the same names: James (x2) and Charles (x2).
Now, when looking at the same kind of physical details for the fourth beast - House of Hanover / Windsor - immediately following the verse 6, we find:
7
“After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.
These only physical features are used to better describe the related coat of Arms (wings/heads - teeth/horns). But it seems that the angel wants us to look for something else.
When pointing to the mouth of the lion of the fourth beast's coat of Arms he show us the
four iron teeth. Why four? Of course, it's nature. But he could have chosen the claws (as dangerous as the teeth), or anything else on its body. Besides, he speaks about horns, 10 horns (with 3 of them being
'uprooted', i.e. not named George).
The point here is that the four kings of the Stuart (four wings/heads) were followed by
four kings George (four teeth/horns)! The Hanover/Windsor lion has also
four wings like those of a bird. But
unlike the four soft hairs, the four teeth / George are solid enough to start a longer dynasty until the endtimes, despite that the fifth king was William IV, followed by Victoria, then Edward VII.
Remember that the Norman/Plantagenet were 18 kings. But then there were only 3 Tudor, then 4 Stuart.
So, 10 Hanover/Windsor are quite numerous, especially with the 11th horn, the antichrist.
This seems to split hairs, literally. But nothing is given for free, especially coming from an angel. The latter wanted us to understand that the mouth had
four teeth like the head of George (x 4), at the head of the list the Hanover/Windsor kings.
Guess what? The angel already spoke about the teeth of the bear, the Tudor dynasty:
5
“And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’
It was showed that the three
ribs are three wifes
'killed' (including one from pregnancy) by Henry VIII for the only biblical reference of the
rib is in Genesis 2 to portray Eve, Adam's
'wife'.
A bear has four prominent teeth, like a lion. But the word
'between' in that verse above rather means TWO PAIRS of teeth. As a matter of fact, there were TWO HENRY (VII and VIII) among three kings (the third being Edward VI).
The three beasts above -
lion, bear and leopard - are linked to the fourth beast (red dragon with 10 horns and 7 crowned heads) in Rev 13:
13
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
2
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
First point: Great Britain is an island (rather a multitude of islands). It comes therefore out of the sea as mentioned above.
So, again the first beast is the British monarchy while the red dragon, the lineage of the consecutive Prince of Wales the title of which is given ONLY to the heir apparents to the throne of UK, provides successive kings (gives authority) to the first beast.
Note that when I mentioned the
'hour of God' (1,000 years / 60 = 16.666 years) as the exact duration of the average reign of the 10 horns / kings of the House of Hanover / Windsor (fourth beast of Daniel 7) it is starting from their coronation, what is called
'authority' in the Book of Revelation.
Several remarks proving the nature of these four beasts of Daniel 7:
1) the order of the four beasts in Daniel 7 is chronologically given (lion - bear - leopard - 10 horns), respecting the succession of the four British dynasties in history for the future...seen from the past of Daniel's time. The order given by John in Rev 13 is exactly the opposite (leopard - bear - lion) since he sees them from the point of view of the red dragon, with 10 horns and 7 heads giving power to the fourth beast of Daniel 7, which starts from the most recent to the oldest dynasties.
2) the parts of the whole figure (see how complex is this beast: dragon + lion + bear + leopard) are not random: [feet = bear = Tudor] ; [body = leopard = Stuart] ; [head = lion = Plantagenet]. While not respecting the chronology of history, this order follows another logic, those of the number of kings in each dynasty according to what defines the most a figure, that is to say the head (18 kings), the body (4 kings) and the feet (3 kings).
3) these three beasts, preceding the fourth beast of Daniel 7, are what we can call
'wild beasts' since lion, bear and leopard really live in the wilderness, unlike the red dragon (not in the nature). This reminds us the fourth seal in Rev 6:
7
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
The same way the 7 spirits of God (the 7 kings George of the House of Hanover / Windsor) are said in Rev 5 to be
sent out into all the earth by God, the same way
the wild beasts (lion, bear and leopard) are
of the earth.
It also happens that the British Empire of the fourth beast (the Red Dragon), now being the Commonwealth of Nations, represents the surface of the fourth of the earth. As you know, the British monarch is still Head of this Commonwealth of Nations.
In other words, the
wild beasts in Rev 6:8 represent a huge military force under the sole power of the fourth British royal dynasty, with its historical heritage (three preceding royal dynasties).
Let us discover the whole picture of the four beasts before addressing the fourth below:
In case some people doubted about this interpretation of the four beasts in Daniel 7, and who follows, here is a clear verse, an explanation from the angel speaking to Daniel:
16
I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this. “So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things:
17
‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth.
18
But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’
First of all, the four beasts are four KINGS! It is NOT about different countries, church leaders, presidents, dictators or what else anywhere in the world. This is about specific kings (each dynasty has a main king such as William the Conqueror, Henry VII, James I and George I), that is to say KINGDOMS. But, look CAREFULLY what follows:
THE kingdom! The four dynasties are suddenly located on the same territory:
GREAT BRITAIN!
And more than this,
the holy people of the Most High will receive THIS kingdom! How many Christian monarchies in the world do you have in mind in the endtimes? WHO can receive a kingdom if not heir apparents?
Once we have understood that the
holy people the angel speaks about is the British FAMILY of Christ
(the Most High), then the dots are far easier to connect.
REMARK: this verse just below speaks about the different boundaries in Great Britain of the four consecutive kingdoms (Norman / Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart and Hanover / Windsor). The kingdoms became bigger with time and dynasties.
The British Empire which rose on earth was the result of the world conquest of the fourth beast / House of Hanover / Windsor.
23
“He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.
Now comes the fourth beast of Daniel 7.
As you understood it, it's the fourth British royal dynasty, the House of Hanover / Windsor starting with George I in 1714. As a reminder, the first beast / British royal dynasty (Plantagenet) started with the Battle of Hastings in 1066, that is to say once the first Day of God of the Christian era had ended in 1033 (Christ's resurrection in 33 A.D. + 1,000 years). To the scale of the Christian era (2,000 years), 1066 - 1033 = 33 years are very small.
It happens that Henry VII, first king of the Tudor dynasty, the second beast / British royal dynasty, was on the throne in 1485, that is to say almost 500 years later. Remember that the 7 fractal periods of the 7 churches are consecutively 1,000 years, then 500 years, then 250 years, etc, 7 times. So, the coming of a new dynasty took place around the start of a new church period, at least at the beginning of the 7 churches.
