Chapter 7 of <Daniel>
Part 1. <Daniel>
Chapter 7 of <Daniel>: Daniel's Dream of Four Beasts
1. Daniel 7:3, 7:17, 7:23, 7:24 – What are Beasts, Waters or Sea, Heads and
Horns?
1-2. Daniel 7:5 – Second kingdom – Bear: Persian Empire(BC 550~BC 330)
<Daniel> 7:5 - 다른 짐승 곧 둘째는 곰과 같은데 그것이 몸 한편을 들었고 그 입의 잇사이
에는 세 갈빗대가 물렸는데 그에게 말하는 자가 있어 이르기를 일어나서 많은 고기를 먹으
라 하였으며("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!'(NIV); And behold another beast, a second, like to
a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it
between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.(KJV); Then I
saw a second beast, and it looked like a bear. It was rearing up on one side, and it had
three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And I heard a voice saying to it, "Get up!
Devour the flesh of many people!"(New Living)
Although it does not have the dignity of a lion, but it has the persistent
and relentless courage and cruelty, thus, bear refers to the Persian
Kingdom or Empire as Achaemenid(아 케 메 니 드) Empire (BC 550 ~ BC 330)1),
centered on Media and Persia.

“It(the bear) was raised up on one of its sides” means that the Media
would rise first and then the Persia would be later, but the Persia would
take the lead. Historically, Media and Persia were both Indo-European
brothers empires. At the beginning of history, the Medes took the initiative,
but with the rise of Cyrus the Great(Cyrus II of Persia, Kurush, reigned BC 559~530), the
Medes was absorbed into the Persia.
“It(the bear) had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth” means that the
Persian Empire conquered three kingdoms: Babylon to the west, Lydia
(Turkey) to the north, and Egypt to the south.
“Get up and eat your fill of flesh!” means that historically the Persian
Empire invaded Babylon-Lydia-Egypt and killed many people there.
However, when the time set by God the Father came, the Greek (Greece,
Hella) Empire as Kingdom of Macedonia(mӕsədóuniə) (BC 691 or BC 514~BC 146 or
BC 30) appeared in Greek, and finally Alexander III(Alexander the Great, reign BC 336~BC
323) of Greek Kingdom destroyed the Persian Empire in BC 330.

The last king of Persia, Darius III (reigned BC 336~BC 330) prepared and trained a
powerful army for Alexander's invasion, but was defeated in a fierce battle against
Alexander, and the Persian Empire, which had such a powerful kingdom, was
disappeared in BC 330 from the field of history.
Not from Daniel's point of view in BC 553, but from the present or historical
point of view, I am filling the second kingdom as Bear as Persian Kingdom or
Empire in the past as follows.
