James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 8:1-27

THE RAM AND THE HE - GOAT How much later was this vision than the preceding? Where was it revealed to Daniel (Daniel 8:2 )? It is important to keep in mind that it covers the same ground as the preceding, except that the story begins, not with Babylon’s supremacy, but that of the Medes and Persians represented by the ram (Daniel 8:3 ), though in the former vision by the bear. The higher horn of the ram is the Persian half of the empire. The united empire made conquests west, north and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 8:20-27

Who this fierce king points at, or what awful indignation is to take place at the time, when the latter kingdom shall come, and the transgressions are come to the full; I presume not to say. But one spiritual improvement ariseth out of it, which both Writer and Reader will do well to regard: namely, how awful are all the Lord's visitations, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. We behold Daniel's mind so affected in the very contemplation of it, that though he knew it would not happen in... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 8:15-27

15-27 The eternal Son of God stood before the prophet in the appearance of a man, and directed the angel Gabriel to explain the vision. Daniel's fainting and astonishment at the prospect of evils he saw coming on his people and the church, confirm the opinion that long-continued calamities were foretold. The vision being ended, a charge was given to Daniel to keep it private for the present. He kept it to himself, and went on to do the duty of his place. As long as we live in this world we must... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 8:1-99

Daniel 8 WE NOW LEAVE that portion of the prophecy that deals specially with the Gentile powers; and so, as we begin chapter 8, the language of the original reverts to Hebrew from the Chaldee. The vision recorded in this chapter, is dated about two years after the one we have just considered. Though Gentile powers are still in view, the main point seems to be their action in regard to Jerusalem with its sanctuary and sacrifices. It came to Daniel not when he was in Babylon but rather in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 8:15-27

The Explanation of the Vision v. 15. And it came to pass when I, even I, Daniel, had seen the vision and sought for the meaning, pondering over it, viewing it from every angle, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man, the apparition coming with startling suddenness. v. 16. And I heard a man's voice, the speaker being invisible to Daniel, between the banks of Ulai, coming from between the two branches of the Eulaeus River, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 8:15-27

God’s Deliverance Is Sure Daniel 8:15-27 It does not fall within our province to go into the various fulfillments which have been assigned to the predictions of this chapter-one to the time of the Maccabees, one to our own days, and one to that malign Satanic power which stands up perpetually against the Prince of princes. Let us dwell, rather, on the assertion that whatever sets itself against the kingship of Jesus Christ shall inevitably be broken. The Church of God is menaced today, as... read more
