Visul bestiilor

Daniel’s night vision rises from the storm-tossed sea: a winged lion strides from the surf, a bear presses forward beside it, a leopard-like beast follows, and a dreadful horned monster looms behind them beneath a troubled sky. The composition draws from Daniel 7, where the prophet sees four great beasts emerging from the sea, each representing earthly kingdoms in conflict beneath the sovereignty of God. The sea suggests unrest among the nations, while the unnatural beasts reveal the violent, unstable character of human empires. This prophetic subject is suited for teaching on biblical prophecy, the book of Daniel, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the hope that God’s everlasting dominion outlasts every beastly power.
