==Prophecy==
'''Statue of Nebuchadnezzar's dream'''
The statue of this dream had a head of gold, body and arms of silver, thighs of brass, legs of iron, and feet of iron and clay. Daniel interpreted this to be kingdoms, with the head of gold being Neo-Babylon, and other kingdoms not as rich but stronger after. These kingdoms are often viewed as (starting with the arms of steel) Medo-Persia (2 arms for 2 peoples but still connected by the upper body as 1 nation), Alexander the Great's Grecian empire, pagan Rome (2 legs for 2 empires, western and eastern.) and the feet being Europe after Rome.
'''Four Beasts'''
Daniel saw 4 beasts. They were a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a beast. These prophecies are often viewed as the same as the vision of the statue, with the lion being Neo-Babylon, the bear being Medo-Persia, the leopard being Greece, and the Beast being Rome.
'''Ram and He-Goat'''
These visions are of a Ram, a He-Goat, and a little horn. These are viewed often as Medo-Persia, Greece, and papal Rome.
