THE THIRD NATION
The third empire - the belly and the thighs of bronze (Daniel 2:32) - is Greece (Daniel 8:21).
Greece defeated Medo - Persia and established itself as the *third world empire*
Daniel 2:39; 7:17; 8:21
If the second beast of Daniel's dream represents the Medo - Persian Empire (Daniel 7:5), the leopard represents Greece (Daniel 2:39)
*Four symbolizes universality according to Daniel 7:2; wings are synonymous with speed*
The Greeks under the leadership of Alexander the Great rapidly conquered the known world. *Four heads* describes "heads" of government. After Alexander's death, his empire was divided among his generals into four different parts (Daniel 8:8, 22) - Macedonia, Egypt, Syria and Thrace.
