Leopard With Four Wings And Four Heads The End Times Prophecy – Part 8 of 14

Hello and welcome to Social Media Ministries, my name is Spencer Coffman. Thank you so much for tuning in today. We are on part 8 of a long sermon series about the end times as referenced in the Book of Daniel, specifically Daniel chapter 7.

Although we have also gone back to Daniel chapter 2 which was Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and then we have tied a little bit into Daniel chapter 8 which was a later dream that Daniel had after 2 to 3 years after Daniel chapter 7. In addition, we have gone to Revelation which is really the favorite book of the end times, chapters 12 to 14.

We have got a lot of the Bible pulled into here and we have really been stretching it with a lot of these scriptures. We have been stretching the series out. Why have we been stretching out the series rather than doing it all in one? Because there is so much, we have so much prophecy in these really 5 chapters of scripture.

Well, today we are talking about the leopard with 4 wings and 4 heads. Now if you are like, what in the world is he talking about? Then check out the past sermons in this playlist here if you are watching on YouTube. Otherwise, navigate to our YouTube channel. You will find the playlist on the end times and you have got a lot of catching up to do. You have got 7 messages to watch.

We talked about the end times. We talked about Daniel’s dream, how the beasts represent modern nations. Modern as in really today’s world, today is modern and the erroneous representation of the beasts and what other people have speculated that they represent. When you type these in, a lot of people, tons and tons of other ministers and ministries and scholars and people think that they represent something else which is not what we have been presenting.

Then we talked about how the lion turned into a man and the wings of the lion became something else. Last week we talked about the bear with 3 ribs and the bear is a nation, 3 ribs are 3 nations. The wings are another nation and then the lion that became a man was another nation, so we have got a lot of nations here and we are spreading around the world.

I will just quick recap it. If you haven’t seen the previous one, you are going to get a little preview of it. But I really encourage you to go back and watch them or listen to them at another time. The lion that turned into a man was from Great Britain. Then we have the eagle’s wings that got pulled off of the lion, that became the United States. We have the bear which is Russia and the 3 ribs which could be 3 Islamic terrorism countries or perhaps 3 countries that Russia had before and they are going to reclaim their old territory of the USSR.

Today we are talking about the leopard and what that could represent. Some people thought that the leopard could represent Alexander the Great, however, that is simply not the case as we have shown about 4 different times. Now the main point is that if you go to Daniel chapter 8, first off the reason people think the leopard is Alexander the Great is because Alexander the Great conquered a bunch of the world. He got knocked off and then his 4 generals divided up his kingdom into 4 places which is where they get those 4 wings and 4 heads.

However, that is wrong because in chapter 8 we have the shaggy goat as the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king. The 4 horns that replace the one that was broken off represent 4 kingdoms that will emerge from this nation but will not have the same power. That right there, Alexander the Great of Grecia and his 4 generals that took over, 4 horns that replaced the one horn, 4 kingdoms not as great as the first. That is really pretty pretty simple too.

What that could mean of Alexander the Great, so if Alexander the Great is not the leopard, in addition, Alexander the Great didn’t use a leopard as a symbol. He used a lion with wings so I don’t know how people could confuse all of that, so we just eliminated that confusion.

If you need more elimination of that confusion again check out the playlist and watch those previous messages. So what is the leopard then? Well, it is not Alexander the Great because as we have shown there are some other nations that use the leopard as their symbol. As we have shown in previous messages how different nations have used these animals and what they could be.

Let’s check out some modern nations that have the leopard. We have Pakistan, so that is a possibility. Pakistan could be one of these nations that rises out and right now they are very prominent over there with the terrorism and this war on terror. We also have Afghanistan, same story. Rwanda and Somalia. So do any of these fit?

Well, the African nations definitely don’t because historically Africa has not been a powerful nation. They have been pretty conquered if you will, they have been taken as slaves, they have been occupied by other nations, colonized by other countries, etc.

Pakistan and Afghanistan could be, but they really don’t fit either. Why? Because the leopard here if we go to Daniel’s dream and read about the beast, it says, this is chapter 7 verse 6, ‘And there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard and on its back it had 4 wings like those of a bird. This beast had 4 heads and it was given authority to rule.’

This is a nation that was given authority to rule and now of course this is a modern nation, some nation that is around. But do Pakistan and Afghanistan if they are represented by the leopard? Number one, do they have authority to rule, and the answer to that one is pretty much going to be no. Because these could be nations that Russia comes in and sweeps out. The US is already bearing down on them.

Now the US is the eagle’s wings. If the US combined with Pakistan or Afghanistan and knocked them out and took it over, then we could have the leopard with a couple wings. But then what happens to the other 2 wings and where are the 4 heads? So it is very unlikely that those are the case.

Let’s continue on and see what nations could fit this profile, a modern-day nation, and here we have to start thinking outside the box. We need to look at a nation that is one nation of itself, but that also had 4 separate nations kind of like Alexander the Great and his 4 kingdoms that his 4 generals took over. We were kind of on that line of thinking, so we weren’t too far off, but it is not Alexander the Great so who could it be?

Well outside the box thinking let’s take a look at what comes next. The other thing is in order to draw on this we check out Revelation and see part of it which we will dive into a little bit more next week, so make sure to stay tuned, but in Revelation 13 it talks about how the leopard had a fatal wound on one of its heads. This is 13:3, ‘One of the heads of the beast seemed to have a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed.’

Then we continue on. That was a preview, we will dive into it more next week but what is this? If a little outside the box thinking here, this country of the leopard is Germany and you are like Germany? What in the world? How do we get Germany? Think about it for a minute. Check out Germany.

Germany developed the leopard tank. Now you say, okay wait a minute, you are talking about a tank? Yes, the tank. What did this tank do for Germany? This leopard tank was so revolutionary that they rolled this thing out and the allies were scared, people were afraid, they were overwhelmed. This tank was like nothing else and it came out and they used it to nearly win World War II. This leopard tank allowed Germany to do something that no other country had done, it was given authority to rule right there.

What happened over time? Germany had 4 distinct rules, not like rule 1, rule 2, but like rules or they called them Reichs for time periods of power. So these 4 heads on this leopard could represent the 4 reichs and they were brought in by the leopard tank.

The first Reich was the Holy Roman Empire ruled by Charlemagne, this was a long time ago, this was in the past so it is not a modern-day nation but the nation is still here, so it is modern-day. Not like Babylon, that is gone, it is modern day. It has always been the same.

The first Reich was the Holy Roman Empire ruled by Charlemagne from 1800 to 1860, a very long time. The Second Reich was the German empire under Otto von Bismarck 1870 to 1919 so a little less but still there. What was the Third Reich? Adolf Hitler, World War II 1933 to 1945, and then now you say, well wait a minute, that is only 3, so 3 heads. The fourth Reich is the European Union, 1958 to present. 4 heads, 4 Reichs.

Now we have Germany’s symbol, it is not the leopard. Okay, they had the leopard tank, so we have the leopard tank accounted for Germany, and then we have the 4 heads accounted by the 4 Reichs, one of them is present, the last one. Adolf Hitler, we are going to get into that and how that ties in with Revelation but what is Germany’s official symbol? Well if you remember from a couple weeks ago, Germany’s symbol is the eagle. You say, why does that matter?

The eagle clearly represents America, so how does the eagle fit into Germany’s prophecy with this? Because the wings that were torn off of the lion did not become Germany, Germany was already there, it became America. But Germany is the eagle and so we have this leopard with 4 heads, 4 Reichs, but remember we also have 4 wings like that of a bird. Eagles have 2 wings, so that could be 2 wings.

Now we have got 4 heads and we have got 2 wings on this leopard. What about the other 2? What about the other 2 wings? For that, we have to take a look at Germany’s allies. Who is Germany allied with? Who are they closely allied with? They are allied with the United States.

Hey, now we could have Germany with the leopard tank. With the 4 Reichs, we have the Holy Roman Empire, we have the German Empire, we have Adolf Hitler, and we have the European Union. So that is the heads and then we have Germany as the eagle’s wings and then if they are allied with America, now that could be the other 2 wings.

However, there is something that is a little bit more closely related to that and that is France. You say, why France? France has been allied with Germany for a very long time and the current Reich is controlled by Germany and France. The European Union is a combination of Germany and France and so we look at that and that is very good.

But how do we know that it is France? What is their symbol? Well, that is a rooster. The symbol of France is a rooster. Roosters have 2 wings, not 3, 2 wings. We have one leopard, we have 4 heads and 4 wings, Germany combined with France, the European Union and you say, wow that is incredible. Well, I encourage your comments and your discussion below because yes I agree this one is a little bit more involved than the others.

We have got so far Great Britain or the United Kingdom with the lion turned into a man. Then we have got the United States of the wings of an eagle pulled off. We have Russia as the bear with 3 ribs as 3 more probably middle eastern nations.

So we are moving in both directions. If you kind of look at the map, we started in Europe and we are moving to the United States which was over and then we have this direction of Europe, we have Russia and all of them, and depending on how you are looking at the map it could be this way for you, Russia would be here watching me in Europe and America, but for me looking at it it would be this direction, it could be either way, you get the idea.

We are moving around the world from Russia, we are coming towards Europe and from Europe now we have got France and Germany and we are going toward Russia. This world is really kind of closing in. We are getting smaller and smaller as we are starting to snap up these countries.

Now we have the leopard with 4 wings and 4 heads, 4 Reichs in Germany, and the 4 wings of France and Germany as well. We know that this nation is Germany. The 2 wings are from Germany’s eagle, 2 wings are from France’s rooster, that is the European Union. They are currently carrying this leopard with the 4 heads. They are ruling the European Union as the current Reich, one of the heads. So it is the head plus the 2 countries of the wings and the leopard which was the leopard tank used to nearly win World War II.

Now next week as I said we are going to dive into this leopard head being wounded as we read in Revelation. What does that mean? Where did this wound come from and what time period? Remember it was a fatal wound and then after the wound it rose back up and nations around it started to follow it again.

We are going to talk about that next week so I really encourage you to stay tuned. We are not going to dive into it now because it would take too long. We have only got about 5 or 10 minutes left so what we are going to do right now is give you a quick recap of the beast and of what is going on.

Daniel chapter 7 we have got these 4 beasts. We have gone through the 3, we have this one and we are gonna read verse 6, remember it is like those of a bird. ‘I looked and there before me was another beast,’ looked like a leopard, so this beast might not be a full leopard, it looked like a leopard which is why we get that leopard tank. ‘On its back were 4 wings like those of a bird. The beast had 4 heads and it was given the authority to rule.’

Now are these 4 heads the heads of a leopard or are they the heads of a man or are they the heads of an eagle? We don’t really know, however, if we jump up to Revelation and go to chapter 13 and read about the beast out of the sea, this is a beast that is completely different. It is almost like all of them that come together. Chapter 13 verse 2 says, ‘The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but it had feet like those of a bear.’ So we are kind of combining, ‘And a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast its power and the throne and the authority.’

What is the dragon? The dragon we are going to come to that, is that fourth beast, the AntiChrist. Then we have one of the heads of the beast that seemed to have a fatal wound. The head with the beast he saw resembled a leopard, so we have got a great correlation between the vision here in Revelation and the vision from Daniel, they both resembled and looked like a leopard.

How many heads were on the beast in Revelation? This is ten horns and 7 heads with ten crowns on its horns, each head had a blasphemous name. This is 7 heads. Well, we are going to get to this. Where do we get the 7 heads of this, when this leopard in Daniel only has 4 heads?

Well, I am not going to ruin it now and I got to be careful so I don’t ruin it, because we are coming there. We are going to get there but right now one of these heads got wounded, so of these 7 heads, one is wounded which is probably one of the leopard’s heads because that is what we are going to talk about next week. It was a nation that came up and re-risen or it fell and then rose again so to speak. Not like Jesus, but it was a nation that its rule got knocked down and then it recovered from its fatal wound.

What nation? What could it be? Tune in next week to find out and we have got a lot more coming up. What is coming up? The leopard head wounded, that is what we are talking about next week. Then after we introduce all these beasts and what nations they represent, we are going to talk about the new world order that comes about because of them.

Then we will talk about that fourth beast which is that AntiChrist, the dragon that comes in, and what that beast is going to do. It is going to take all these other beasts and the nations and they are going to fight against each other. We are going to have the east against the west which is going to mark the beginning of the end and then finally what will happen is the end. That is how we are going to wrap it up, so stay with us. We have got about a month left of this sermon series.

Let’s pray. Thank you, Lord Jesus for this great sermon series that we are really powering through. Today’s message was a lot to handle and it could be a stretch for some people, but I really pray that they would look at this with an open heart and an open mind. That they would do their own research. That they would read these chapters Daniel chapter 2, Daniel chapter 7, Daniel chapter 8.

That they would draw their own correlations between them all and what they all mean and that they would also read Revelation chapters 12 through 14 and that they would tie all this together in their minds and put it out on a timeline so they could see it and understand it and that they would pay attention to the methods and the ideas introduced in the previous messages of this series. That they would really start to see how everything lines up and makes sense when they look at it and see it.

Give them your eyes to see and your ears to hear. Put the Holy Spirit in them so they would be able to understand and interpret the scriptures in the Bible and also share that with other people so that they would be fruitful. That this seed that we are planting in them right now would grow and bear fruit and that they would bring other people into the kingdom of heaven. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

If you are watching this and you have not made that decision to follow Christ to add Him into your life and have Him be your Lord and Savior then contact us, it is one of the best decisions. It is not one of, it is the best decision that you can make. It is the best thing that will happen in your life. You can invite Jesus into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and be the leader of your life and you can do that today.

You can contact us, you can comment below, we can pray for you, we can pray with you, we can tell you what to say, we can get you to reach out to some local church, some people and get connected where you are. If that is you, if you are wanting to make that decision to change your life and follow Christ then definitely reach out and we can help you with that. God bless.
