Daniel 7:20-21

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 7:20

And of the ten horns ... - See the notes at Daniel 7:7-8.Whose look was more stout than his fellows - literally, “whose aspect was greater than that of its companions.” This does not mean that its look or aspect was more fierce or severe than that of the others, but that the appearance of the horn was greater - רב rab. In Daniel 7:8, this is described as a “little horn;” and to understand this, and reconcile the two, we must suppose that the seer watched this as it grew until it became the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 7:21

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints - I continued to look on this until I saw war made by this horn with the people of God. This circumstance, also, is not referred to in the first description, and the order of time in the description would seem to imply that the war with the saints would be at a considerable period after the first appearance of the horn, or would be only when it had grown to its great size and power. This “war” might refer to open hostilities, carried on in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 7:19-22

Daniel 7:19-22. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast Namely, what was intended to be signified by it. And of the ten horns that were in his head Of what they were emblems; and of the other which came up, &c. See Daniel 7:8; whose look was more stout than his fellows Or more great and magnificent; or, who was more arrogant, and claimed a superiority over the rest: for though this horn, or power, was small at first, it at length exceeded all other powers in pomp and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:15-28

Interpretation of the vision (7:15-28)One of God’s heavenly servants explained to Daniel the meaning of the vision. The kingdoms of the world may arrogantly oppose God in their ruthless drive for supremacy, but the kingdom that triumphs in the end is the kingdom of God, the people of God (15-18).A reason is then given for God’s devastating judgment on the ‘little horn’ dictator of the fourth beast: he had used his power to make war against God’s people (19-22). He blasphemously challenged the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 7:19-22

5. Daniel’s request for interpretation of the fourth beast 7:19-22Daniel repeated the descriptions of the fourth beast and the little horn, and in doing so mentioned four previously unrevealed details about them. The beast had claws of bronze, stressing its fierce nature (Daniel 7:19). The little horn was more prominent than the other horns, accounting for its ability to rise in the place of three other horns (Daniel 7:20). The little horn waged war with the saints and overcame them, which... 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
