Type: a study Relevance: prophecy Text:  (Please read Daniel 2:31-45 ; 7:2-27 ) Recall the structure of Daniel 2-7, a chiasm! Daniel 2 and 7 parallel one another in theme, in the theme of prophecy. Might they parallel one another in other ways? Note the following parallels between the two visions: 1. - Daniel 2 contains FOUR  metals and Daniel 7 FOUR beasts. "This image’s head was of fine  gold , his breast and his arms of  silver , his belly and his thighs of  brass , His legs of  iron , his feet part of iron..."  Daniel 2:32,33 "The first was like a lion ... And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear ... After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard ... After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast , dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly..." Daniel 7:4-7 2. - Daniel 2 contains TWO non-metals (contrasted to the 4 metals) and Daniel 7 TWO humans/human-like (contrasted to the 4 beasts).
