واذا انكسر وقام اربعة عوضا عنه فستقوم اربع ممالك من الامة ولكن ليس في قوته.
'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.

Greece, in the Word, signifies the nations about to receive the truths of doctrine. The king of Greece represents the same as the goat in Daniel 8:2, 14. It also has a similar meaning to that of 'isles.'
