   This rendering is part of a collection of illustration I was asked to do for a college professor  who taught a course on Daniel / Revelation at a Bible college which I attended.  He used these illustrations as part of his teaching material .    In the Book of Daniel, Daniel the prophet  had a dream, in which four beasts , different from each other, came out of a stormy ocean .   Each beast represented a monarchy that will rise and fall in history, each will have rule over the civilized world.    The leopard with Four wing represent the monarchy on the Grecian.     Daniel chapter 7 : 6   " After this I kept looking , and behold , another one , like a leopard, which had    on it's back  four wings of a bird ; the beast also had four heads, and    dominion was given to it.
