Default Diverse from the others

The fourth beast of Daniel.


Daniel 7
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.


Most scholars agree that this 4th is connected with the beast of Revelation.
Having ten horns is an identifier.

So, what is it that makes this 4th beast diverse from the others?
Several explanations have been offered over the years.
But for this study, let’s consider that what makes this beast diverse from the others is that it is of a spiritual/religious nature. (Do not take this as fact, but just consider the possibility as we have to do with all other theories. And this study is just a theory to consider.)

After all, we are told to put on the whole armor of God. The battle armor we wear is of a spiritual nature.
We are called a nation of God, a spiritual nation with no physical boundaries, and cannot be pointed to on a map.
So, the nation we battle against must be spiritual also.



Islam is a spiritual nation that cannot be pointed to on a map.
Islam has the spirit of antichrist.
