One after the other or simultaneously? - BlueBird2 - 05-05-2025

As I was flipping through the Bible, I came across a prophecy in the book of Daniel that I had read long ago. Back then, I heard someone on youtube say that the Hebrew grammar suggests the four beasts appear simultaneously, not one after the other, as is usually translated and interpreted. That was years ago, and I've forgotten who it was and how he explained it.

Is anybody familiar with the grammer and can say whether it is clear wheather these beasts appear simultaniously or one after another? (The list in the following verses could also refer to beasts that exist at the same time, as one says: the first dress is red, the second dress is purple, etc.) Thanks!

Here is the text in Daniel 7:3

Thanks for the link, CO, that looks good! Can't listen at work Dodgy and have to wait until later.
