No these are not the 4 beasts.

They are

1. The lion: Babylonian empire
2. The bear: The Persian empire (the three ribs symbolized Cyrus, Achashverosh, and Darius - Rashi)
3. The leopard: The Greek empire (the four heads allude to the four generals who divided the empire after Alexander's death - Abarbanel)
4. The Roman empire, considered to be the current exile.

Shoshanna
