The third part of the statue in the Babylonian kings dream was of brass-representing Greece. ..his belly and his thighs of brass, Daniel 2:32 It was also the third beast-the leopard. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Daniel 7:6 The 4 wings represent its speed of the young Alexanders the Greats conquest-also the 4 heads were the four Grecian kingdoms it divided into upon his death. In Daniel 8 Greece is the Goat with the great horn that destroys the ram of Media-Persia. The notable horn is Alexander the Great. Followed by his four Greek Kingdoms upon his death. And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns:Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. Daniel 8:5-8 (The four generals who succeeded Alexander and divided the empire into four parts were Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy and Seleucus.)
