Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 8:24

And his power shall be mighty - He shall be a powerful monarch. Though not as mighty as Alexander, yet his conquests of Egypt and other places show that he deserved to be numbered among the mighty kings of the earth.But not by his own power - That is, it shall not be by any strength of his own, but by the power which God gives him. This is true of all kings and princes (compare John 19:11; Isaiah 10:5, following), but it seems to be referred to here particularly to show that the calamities... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 8:24

Daniel 8:24 . And his power shall be mighty His power shall increase more and more, namely, in Judea; but not by his own power This shall not be owing so much to himself, as to the wickedness and factions among the Jews. “Antiochus,” says Mr. Wintle, “was certainly much favoured in his designs by a factious party of the Jews themselves, by the treachery of the Jewish people, according to Josephus, and, according to Appion, the perfidy of others. Eumenes, king of Pergamus, and his brother... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 8:15-27

Gabriel explains the vision (8:15-27)An interpreting angel named Gabriel then set out to explain to the frightened Daniel the meaning of the vision of the ram and the goat (15-18). It was chiefly concerned with the climax of the Jews’ troubles, when God would intervene in mighty judgment against Antiochus (19). But first the Medo-Persian and Greek Empires had to be established (20-22). Cruel, cunning, arrogant and powerful, Antiochus would slaughter the Jews, defile the temple and blaspheme... read more

not by his own power. We are not told here who is the giver of the power, but we are not left in ignorance. Revelation 13:2 , and 2 Thessalonians 2:9 , 2 Thessalonians 2:10 , are clear on this point. mighty = mighty ones. holy People = People of the holy ones. These are "the holy ones of the Most High" (Daniel 7:18 , Daniel 7:22 ). read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 8:24

Daniel 8:24. His power shall be mighty, &c.— This part of the prophesy can no where be so justly applied as to the Romans. With them it quadrates exactly, and with none of the other horns or kingdoms of the goat. The strength of the other kingdoms consisted in themselves, and had its foundation in some part of the goat: but the Roman empire, as a horn, or kingdom of the goat, was not mighty by its own power, was not strong by virtue of the goat; but drew its nourishment and strength from... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 8:24

24. not by his own power—which in the beginning was "little" (Daniel 8:9; Daniel 7:8); but by gaining over others through craft, the once little horn became "mighty" (compare Daniel 8:25; Daniel 11:23). To be fully realized by Antichrist. He shall act by the power of Satan, who shall then be permitted to work through him in unrestricted license, such as he has not now (Daniel 11:23- :); hence the ten kingdoms shall give the beast their power (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; Revelation 17:13). prosper... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 8:23-25

Almost all scholars recognize that Antiochus Epiphanes fulfilled what Gabriel predicted in these verses (cf. 1 Maccabees 1:10). [Note: Pentecost, "Daniel," p. 1359.] He arose in the latter period of the Diacochi, the four kingdoms that came into existence after Alexander’s death, following many transgressors of God’s will. Antiochus Epiphanes was bold and deceptive. He was powerful because God allowed him to be so. He did much damage, especially to Jerusalem and the temple. He became prosperous... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 8:1-27

The Vision of the Ram and the He-GoatIn the third year of Belshazzar Daniel has a vision in which he seems to stand by the river Ulai, near Susa (Daniel 8:1-2). He sees a two-homed ram which behaves aggressively for a time (Daniel 8:3-4), but is attacked and overthrown by a he-goat which comes rapidly from the w, (Daniel 8:5-7). The he-goat has a notable horn (Daniel 8:5), which is presently broken, and instead of which four others come up (Daniel 8:8). From one of these there springs a little... read more
