Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 7:15-16

Even though Daniel understood all kinds of visions and dreams (Daniel 1:17), much of what he had just seen baffled and alarmed him (cf. Daniel 7:28). He now saw himself participating in the events of his vision. He evidently addressed his question to an angel (cf. Daniel 8:16; Daniel 9:21). The fourth beast, and particularly the little horn, were the parts of the vision that he could not understand and most interested him. 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

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Daniel 7:1-28

Daniel 7:1 I am amusing myself with thinking of the prophecy of Daniel as a sort of allegory. All those monstrous, 'rombustical' beasts with their horns the horn with eyes and a mouth speaking proud things, and the little horn that waxed rebellious and stamped on the stars, seem like my passions and vain fancies, which are to be knocked down one after another until all is subdued with a universal kingdom over which the Ancient of Days presides the spirit of Love the Catholicism of the universe... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:1-28

VISION OF THE FOUR WILD BEASTSWE now enter upon the second division of the Book of Daniel-the apocalyptic. It is unquestionably inferior to the first part in grandeur and importance as a whole, but it contains not a few great conceptions, and it was well adapted to inspire the hopes and arouse the heroic courage of the persecuted Jews in the terrible days of Antiochus Epiphanes. Daniel now speaks in the first person, whereas throughout the historical section of the Book the third person has... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:1-28

THE VISION OF THE FOUR BEASTS This and the vision in chapter 8 are the prophet’s “dream and visions,” and not the king’s. They occurred apparently during his political retirement in the earlier years of Belshazzar (Daniel 7:1 ; Daniel 8:1 ). They cover the same ground as Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and give us in more detail, and from a different point of view, the same story of Gentile dominion from his period to the end of the present age. One difference is that Nebuchadnezzar’s dream... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 7:15-28

To the mind of Daniel, in a period so remote as he lived from the advent of Christ, and especially in a character like Daniel, evidently inspired and appointed to be a Prophet in the Church, in the awful times in which he lived; all that is here said of his grief, and the earnestness of his inquiry to be informed concerning the vision, was very highly proper and praise-worthy. But, I beg the Reader, rather to wait and watch the Lord's explanation of this and all other the prophetical parts of... read more
