Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 7:24

Daniel 7:24. The ten horns—are ten kings— Or kingdoms; and so Daniel 7:17. If we fix the aera for these ten kingdoms to the eighth century, the chief governments will be found to be, 1. The senate of Rome, who revolted from the Grecian emperors, and claimed and exerted the privilege of choosing a new western emperor; 2 the Greeks in Ravenna; 3 the Lombards in Lombardy; 4 the Huns in Hungary; 5 the Allemans in Germany; 6 the Franks in France; 7 the Burgundians in Burgundy; 8 the Saracens in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 7:24

24. ten horns—answering to the ten "toes" (Daniel 2:41). out of this kingdom—It is out of the fourth kingdom that ten others arise, whatever exterior territory any of them possess (Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:12). rise after them—yet contemporaneous with them; the ten are contemporaries. Antichrist rises after their rise, at first "little" (Revelation 17:12- :); but after destroying three of the ten, he becomes greater than them all (Daniel 7:20; Daniel 7:21). The three being gone, he is the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 7:24-25

One difference between the description of the little horn here and earlier (Daniel 7:8), is that here the little horn is a king, not a kingdom. Another is that he will be different from the previous 10 kings (cf. Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:12). His boastful words will be against the Most High and His saints (Daniel 7:25). He will wear down the saints, evidently by persecution (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-9; Revelation 12:13-17; Revelation 13:1-10; Revelation 13:16-17). He will also desire to... 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
