1-2. Daniel wrote:In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylonia, I had some dreams and visions while I was asleep one night, and I wrote them down.The four winds were stirring up the mighty sea,
3. when suddenly four powerful beasts came out of the sea. Each beast was different.
4. The first was like a lion with the wings of an eagle. As I watched, its wings were pulled off. Then it was lifted to an upright position and made to stand on two feet, just like a human, and it was given a human mind.
