Arise, devour much flesh
New feature.
This is a Roman Catholic take on the four Beasts of Daniel.
This is in line with the Church Fathers. Any fault found with this view please correct.
All four Beasts are different. Meaning that all four Beasts can not be political entities or kingdoms (which all Protestant Heretics mistakenly believe).
The first three beasts are destroyed by the fourth Beast who will be the Antichrist.
Since the Antichrist destroys the first three beasts, then is stands to reason that the three beasts will still be in existence during the reign of the Antichrist.
The second Beast is Bear.
BEAR = SOCIAL MEDIA (facebook twitter etc...)
And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh. Dan.7.4
ARISE, DEVOUR MUCH FLESH = DEATH AND DESTRUCTION BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE AGENCY OF SOCIAL MEDIA
Now here is something from the Second Beast that should not surprise anyone:
Florida gunman says 'demon voices' told him how to pull off school shooting and police reveal they were called out 39 TIMES to his family home before his mother died last year
According to authorities, the gunman who killed 17 people inside a school in Florida told police he heard voices in his head that gave him instructions for the attack. The voices were described as 'demons' by law enforcement sources, reports ABC News. Meanwhile, it emerged that police were called to Nikolas Cruz's family's Parkland home 39 times since 2010, according to police records obtained by CNN. The sheriff's office received a range of emergency calls that included: 'mentally ill person,' 'child/elderly abuse,' 'domestic disturbance,' 'missing person,' and several others. Cruz moved in with a friend's family after his adoptive mother, 68-year-old Lynda Cruz, passed away in November from pneumonia.

I don't see any contradiction with the Church Fathers by saying that 4 beasts of Daniel are:
FIRST BEAST LIONESS WITH WINGS OF AN EAGLE = THE AIRLINE AND SPACE INDUSTRIES
1. The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her
SECOND BEAST BEAR = SOCIAL MEDIA (facebook twitter etc...)
2. And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.
THIRD BEAST LEOPARD = NATIONALISM OF THE FORERUNNER TO THE ANTICHRIST (HE WHO MURDERS THE FATIMA POPE WITH AN ARMY MADE UP OF MANY NATIONS)
3. After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
FOURTH BEAST = THE ANTICHRIST (THIS IS CHURCH DOCTRINE AS ALL FATHERS TESTIFY)
4. After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.
All four beast are different from one another - the third and fourth beasts are political in nature but different the third being man-made nationalistic political authority and the fourth being ma-made universal political authority.
I think this is in line with what the Church Fathers would say.
If you find fault in this let me know.
