Lions, leopards, and bears, oh my! And the fourth beast is even worse than the first three. What does this vision in Daniel chapter 7 mean?

We are naturally inclined to focus on the beasts, especially the fourth beast. Many Bible teachers have focused on who these 10 kings might be and how we can recognize the one that arises after them as Antichrist. That's not surprising because Daniel himself tends that way. If we focus on that, it can lead to us missing the point, which Daniel is also redirected towards.
