'Represent' in the Bible

"The feet and toes that you saw, made partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, represent a divided kingdom. It will still have the strength of iron, in that you saw iron mixed with clay.

These large beasts, which are four in number, represent four kings who will arise from the earth.

The four horns that took the place of the shattered horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power.
