Daniel 7:19

“Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast; etc.] What it represented, what kingdom or monarchy was meant by it; for, by the above answer of the angel, he understood the four beasts signified four kings or kingdoms; the three first he pretty well understood; at least he was not so solicitous about them as about the fourth; and this he was desirous of having a very particular and exact account of; it threatening, by its appearance, a great deal of trouble to the world, and especially to the church of God: which was diverse from all the others; or, “from all them”, or “those”f296, the other three beasts: exceeding dreadful; to other kingdoms and nations: whose teeth were of iron; of these…”

“7:19-28 Daniel requested and received more information about the fourth beast, the ten horns, and the little horn.”
