John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:14

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom ,.... That is, a large, powerful, and glorious kingdom; not but that he had a kingdom before, but now it will be more extensive, and appear in greater glory: this will be fulfilled when the kingdoms of this world shall become his, and all nations shall serve and worship him, Revelation 11:15 , as follows: that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him ; embrace his Gospel, submit to his ordinances serve and worship... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:15

I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body ,.... Or "sheath" F1 בגו נדנה "in medio vaginae", Montanus; "intra vaginam", Munster, Vatablus. ; the soul being in the body as a sword in its scabbard; where it was "cut" F2 אתכרית "transfixus est", Junius & Tremellius, Polanus; "succisus, vel excisus est", Munster. and pierced, as the word signifies; and was wounded, distressed, and grieved at the vision seen; not at the sight of the Son of man, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:16

I came near unto one of them that stood by ,.... To one of the angels that attended, either the throne of judgment, or, the Son of man in his approach to his divine Father: and asked him the truth of all this ; the substance of these visions; what these images, presented to his view, were shadows and representations of; so type and truth, shadow and substance, are opposed to each other. The real meaning of all this was what he asked; nor need any be ashamed to ask of whomsoever they can... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:17

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings ,.... Or kingdoms, as the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Arabic versions; and so Jarchi, Aben Ezra, and Saadiah; so the fourth beast is called the fourth kingdom, Daniel 7:23 or a succession of kings in four kingdoms or monarchies, comparable to beasts for their strength, cruelty, and tyranny: these are the words of him that stood by, of one of the angels Daniel applied to, to know the meaning of his dream; and might be better rendered,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:18

But the saints of the most High ,.... Or, "of the most high Ones" F4 קדישי עליונין "sanctorum altissimorum", Pagninus, Montanus; "sanctorum excelsorum", Junius & Tremellius. , Father, Son, and Spirit, separated by God the Father in election, and in that sense his servants, or sanctified ones, Judges 1:1 , and redeemed by the Son, and sanctified with his blood, or their sins atoned by it, and to whom he is made sanctification, and so his saints, Hebrews 13:12 and sanctified... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:19

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast ;.... What it represented, what kingdom or monarchy was meant by it; for, by the above answer of the angel, he understood the four beasts signified four kings or kingdoms; the three first he pretty well understood; at least he was not so solicitous about them as about the fourth; and this he was desirous of having a very particular and exact account of; it threatening, by its appearance, a great deal of trouble to the world, and especially to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 7:7

I saw - a fourth beast - it had great iron teeth - This is allowed, on all hands, to be the Roman empire. It was dreadful, terrible, and exceeding strong: it devoured, and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue, that is, the remains of the former kingdoms, with its feet. It reduced Macedon into a Roman province about one hundred and sixty-eight years before Christ; the kingdom of Pergamos about one hundred and thirty-three years; Syria about sixty-five; and Egypt about thirty years before... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 7:8

Another little horn - Among Protestant writers this is considered to be the popedom. Before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up - These were probably, The exarchate of Ravenna. The kingdom of the Lombards. And, The state of Rome. The first was given to the Pope, Stephen II., by Pepin, king of France, a.d. 755; and this constituted the pope's temporal princes. The second was given to St. Peter by Charlemagne, in 774. The third, the state of Rome, was vested in the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 7:9

The thrones were cast down - דמיו might be translated erected, so the Vulgate, positi sunt , and so all the versions; but that ours is a proper translation, is sufficiently evident from Daniel 3:6 , Daniel 3:16 , Daniel 3:20 ; Daniel 6:17 , etc.; where the original word can be used in no other sense than that of throwing or casting down. There is a reference here to preparations made for a general assize, or to the convocation of the sanhedrin, where the father of the consistory... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 7:10

A fiery stream issued - This is not spoken of the final judgment; but of that which he was to execute upon this fourth beast, the Roman empire; and the little boasting horn which is a part of the fourth beast, and must fall when the other falls. read more
