What a blessing to be chosen to be Catholic and able to see this simple connection between The Prophet Daniel (7:2-14) and The Book of Revelation (4:6-11)!.

Question 1: “What proves that Catholics are blessed to understand The Bible better than Willful Protestants?”
Answer: “Only Catholics are able to ‘see’ this connection between The Book of Daniel 7:2-14 and The Book of Revelation 4:6:11 at the end of the Bible.
‘In a vision I, Daniel, saw during the night, the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea, from which emerged four immense beasts, each different from the others.
The first was like a lion, but with eagle’s wings. While I watched, the wings were plucked;
it was raised from the ground to stand on two feet like a man, and given a human mind.
The second was like a bear; it was raised up on one side, and among the teeth in its mouth were three tusks. It was given the order, ‘Up, devour much flesh.’
After this I looked and saw another beast, like a leopard; on its back were four wings like those of a bird, and it had four heads. To this beast dominion was given.
After this, in the visions of the night I saw the fourth beast, different from all the others, terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength; it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed, and what was left it trampled with its feet.
I was considering the ten horns it had, when suddenly another, a little horn, sprang out of their midst, and three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it. This horn had eyes like a man, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.’“

Catholics see the connection between those ‘beasts’ and the four ‘living creatures’ around The Throne of God in Rev 4:6-11.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a bull, the third living creature had a human face, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was studded with eyes all the way round as well as inside; and day and night they never stopped singing: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty; who was, and is and is to come.’
Every time the living creatures glorified and honoured and gave thanks to The One sitting on the throne, Who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders prostrated themselves before Him to worship The One Who lives for ever and ever, and threw down their crowns in front of the throne, saying:
You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for You made the whole universe; by Your will, when it did not exist, it was created.’”

Question 2: “What connection do Catholics see?”
Answer: “The kingdom of hell is the opposite of God’s Kingdom of Heaven. The four ‘living creatures’ in Heaven serve God. The four ‘immense beasts’ who rule the devil’s kingdom serve every sin there is.”
~
Question 3: “What is the difference between the ‘living creatures’ in Heaven and the four ‘beasts’ who serve the devil?”
Answer: “The ‘four living creatures’ in Heaven have ‘eyes all around, inside and outside’. God gives them the ‘vision’ to see all there is! Three of the ‘four beasts’ in hell have no eyes. Only one of them has two ‘eyes like a man’s’ in one of its ‘seven horns’! The four ‘beasts’ who serve the devil cannot see anything more than the people and souls one of them orders to be attacked for earthly gain. Those who let the puppets of the devil lead them do not have the ‘eyes’ to ‘see’ the fate that awaits them.”

Question 4: “What ‘fate’ awaits people who follow the four ‘beasts’ of the devil?”
Answer: “Since they do do not allow their ‘eyes to see’ what The Son has made available for those who serve Him, they do not ‘see’ The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church to Whom Jesus gave ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’!
‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”

Only Catholics are chosen to open their eyes to ‘see’ That God’s Word has taken eternal form in His Catholic Church.
