It’s not the geographical setting that matters here, but rather 👉the interpretation of a symbol
In the Hebrew Bible the term “the Great Sea” was a common name for the Mediterranean. For example, in Numbers 34:6, Joshua 1:4, and Ezekiel 47:10, the same phrase clearly refers to the Mediterranean coastline west of Israel. So geographically, the phrase naturally points to that sea.
Daniel 7:2–3 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
@genebalthrop you guys would have us believe that all the empires were from this geographical area except for the USA?
