The bear as a beast cannot help itself for the ribs between the teeth have their own necessities. 'Arise, devour much flesh' nationalism says even in our times.
"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." (v.6)
This vision of Daniel is unusual because the Holy Spirit has taken a hand here to instruct us the manner sinful man has progressed without God. At first God gave the nation of Israel His commandments and bore them as of old upon eagle wings.and brought them himself to the land promised to Abraham.
Action begins in heaven and it shall also be completed from heaven. The v.12 tells the first three beasts shall lose their dominion but their full end is not yet. These are times of the Gentiles,
Thus God initiated action with the first beast. Second beast 'like to a bear', a beast that can adapt itself to its environment 'raised up itself on one side,' The beast leopard often associated in the Greek pagan context (Bacchus) is now set in the Americas. Leopard is a sacred animal for the Aztecs. Mayan and Aztec empires shall know who their masters are once the maritime powers get their head start. Old Spain and Portugal by the blessings of the Pope and their Catholic kings would plunder the south America while the native Americans in the north shall similarly meet another depredation also of Christian faith in name. Four wings of a fowl plucked of the New world: turkey buzzard condor and macaw, you name it. "/And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army." (Re.19:17-19) They also have their feast day.
This part of Daniel is a reiteration of the statue of ch 2. King Neb. had the statue vision, whereas Daniel is given understanding with symbols more relevant to him. The bear is the Medo- Persian empire that overthrew Babylon. The Persians were the stronger of the two, thus raised on one side. The three ribs were the kingdoms of Lydia, Greece and Babylon, which were overpowered when the Medes came to power. The 4 headed leopard is Greece under Alexander the great, when they overthrew the Persians. Oh by the way, that little horn, was the formation of the papacy that treated the true followers of Christ with contempt, imprisonment, burnings, torture, all that.. yes it will come back around again. Notice the "order", same beasts in Revelation just reversed, being they were in the Roman empire at that point.
Amen. In these visions the Spirit presents the topical telescoping into the end times. The wilderness wanderings of Israel itself is a dry run for us upon whom the ends of the world have come. We are sojourners and pilgrims looking for the city that has foundations. "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."(1 Co.10:11). The narrative mode of the Spirit carries such Kangaroo events.
With regards to the kingdom of his dear Son David is a double for Christ. From the specific to the universal relies on Min-Max mode. Thus God appears to King Solomon second time and assures,"Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised,"(1 Ki.9:5) He uses "I will establish the the throne of thy kingdom' followed by the word 'forever' it is a clue and it points to the Son to whom He has appointed by a decree a day. He is the judge so it leads to the day of judgment. Vision of Daniel thus follows the made of narrative and it is consistently followed in the narrative.
In addition to the earlier reply let me give another example with regards to the mode of narrative. " until a time and times and the dividing of time" Which is roughly so many months indicating the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ."and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished."(Dan.12:7. Jesus Christ as the Word become flesh and Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever' have two timescales, that of 'now' and 'forever'. The Spirit has reconciled these two in the Son so a day is set on the reconstituted time that only God shall know.
For this reason God names the day and night (Ge.1:5) and the Spirit uses 'And the evening and the morning were' six times this expression is repeated. These succession of evenings and days shall lead to a day where the night is irrelevant for the saints in the New Jerusalem, "And the city had no need of the sun".(Re.21:23) Here is an example of the topical leading to the 'forever'. "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."(Dan.12:2-3) In the v.3 'forever and ever' forever does its job but why give emphasis with the word 'ever' extra? similar usage we find here, "As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time." 'For a season' is coupled with 'time' which has reference to the half an hour silence in heaven. (Re.8:1)
Bible study is taken up for instruction in righteousness. A literal approach does not do as the Spirit intended. (2 Ti.3:16)
"Bear Necessities" (2 of 2)
