In our dreams today, this kind of imagery is more likely to manifest at a personal level rather than a national threat! For example, an animal attacking with fierce teeth could indicate some kind of threat or fear (perceived threat). Daniel 7:7, NIV“…there before me was a fourth beast-terrifying and frightening and very powerful.The fourth beast was the Roman empire, and the iron teeth reflected the power and strength of that empire to devour everything in its path. Each beast represented an empire that would rise up and destroy the previous one.

Psalm 14:4, NIV Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread.ĭaniel’s dream of four beasts in Daniel 7 is a great example of this.Joel 1:6, NIV A nation has invaded my land, a mighty army without number it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness.This could be through the imagery of fierce animals with teeth, people gnashing their teeth in an aggressive way, or the metaphor of eating/devouring one another: In a negative context, the bible uses teeth to represent aggressive nature – such as enemy armies attacking or the acts of evil people.
