Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 7:9-10

Daniel 7:9-10. I beheld till the thrones were cast down Till all these earthly kingdoms were brought to an end, and all enemies and opposite powers were destroyed. But the word רמיו , here used, maybe rendered, were pitched, or placed, namely, for the reception of God, and his assessors in judgment, the saints and angels. Thus the LXX., εως οτου οι θρονοι ετεθησαν , till the thrones were placed, or set, or fixed; and so the Vulgate. And the verb in the text is used in the same sense... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:1-14

7:1-12:13 DANIEL’S VISIONSAlthough the visions collected in this section of the book are in approximate chronological order, there is no obvious connection leading one on to the next. Each vision has a separate and distinct message.A vision of four beasts (7:1-14)In the first vision (whose chronological position would be between Chapters 4 and 5), Daniel saw a severe storm stirring up the sea, then, coming up out of the raging waters, four strange beasts. The meaning (partly explained later in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 7:9

"I beheld till the thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. I beheld at that time because of the great words which the horn spake; I... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 7:9-10

Daniel 7:9-10. I beheld till the thrones were cast down— Till thrones were set or placed. The metaphors and figures here used are borrowed from the solemnities of earthly judicatures, and particularly the great Sanhedrin of the Jews; where the father of the consistory sat, with his assessors placed on each side of him, in the form of a semicircle, and the people standing before him: and probably from this description was also taken that of the day of judgment in the New Testament. See Bishop... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 7:9

9. I beheld till—I continued looking till. thrones . . . cast down—rather, "thrones were placed" [Vulgate and LUTHER], namely, for the saints and elect angels to whom "judgment is given" ( :-), as assessors with the Judge. Compare :-, "thousand thousands ministered unto Him" (Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:30; 1 Corinthians 6:2; 1 Corinthians 6:3; 1 Timothy 5:21; Revelation 2:26; Revelation 4:4). In English Version the thrones cast down are those of the previously mentioned kings who give place to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 7:9

In some English versions, this verse and some that follow (Daniel 7:10; Daniel 7:13-14) are in poetic form. This indicates a difference in the original language (Aramaic), which sets these verses off as distinct and more elevated in literary style, in the opinion of the translators. From what Daniel recorded, it seems clear that now he saw something happening in the courts of heaven. He saw thrones set up. The AV translation "thrones were cast down" is inaccurate. The Apostle John later saw... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 7:1-28

The Vision of the Four BeastsIn the first year of Belshazzar Daniel sees in a dream four beasts rising out of the sea (Daniel 7:1-3). The first is like a lion, with eagle’s wings (Daniel 7:4), the second like a bear (Daniel 7:5), the third like a leopard (Daniel 7:6), while the fourth is a unique and ferocious monster with ten horns (Daniel 7:7), Among the horns of the fourth beast there comes up a little horn with human eyes, which displaces three of the other ten, and carries itself proudly... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Daniel 7:9

(9) I beheld.—Literally, I kept on looking, and suddenly seats were placed, on which the assessors of the Great Judge were to sit. These have been interpreted from Psalms 89:7 to be the angels, but a truer explanation is to be found in Matthew 19:28. It should be noticed that those who sat on the thrones are distinguished from the countless multitude mentioned in Daniel 7:10.Ancient of days.—Literally, a very aged man. (Comp. Ezekiel 1:26-28.) The attribute of age expresses the majesty of the... read more
