The first one, the gold head in Daniel 2 and the lion in Daniel 7, is Babylon (Dan. 2:38). The second kingdom (the silver and the bear) is identified in Daniel 5:28, 30, 31 and 8:20 as the Medo Persian Empire. The third (the brass and the leopard) is symbolized by a goat in Daniel 8:21 and identified as Greece in Daniel 11:2. The name of the fourth kingdom (the iron and the fourth beast) is not given, but only one power possibly fits its description in the sweep of world history—and that is Rome.
