Image Title: Vision of Four Beasts

Scripture Reference:

• Daniel 7 (further images / scripture text)

Description: Out of the sea emerge four beasts: one with the head of a lion and wings of the eagle; a second was in the form of a bear and had three ribs in its mouth; the third beast had four heads and four wings; and the fourth beast had long teeth, multiple horns, and hooves like those of an ox. The Ancient One is enthroned on the clouds on the top left while Daniel sleeps on the right. The image is flanked by Jacob wrestling with the angel of God (left) and Jacob buying Esau’s birthright for a bowl of stew.
