Geneva Study Bible - Daniel 7:25

7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against {o} the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to {p} change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a {q} time and times and the dividing of time.(o) That is, will make wicked decrees and proclamations against God’s word, and send throughout all their dominion, to destroy all that did profess it.(p) These emperors will not consider that they have their power from God, but think it is in their own... 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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:25

Against, or "over against," like an accuser. Sym.: "as if he were God." --- Laws. He did this with regard to the Jews, (1 Machabees i. 41.) (Calmet) prohibiting their festivals. Antichrist will do the like, and pretend to work miracles. (Haydock) --- A time, &c. That is, three years and a half; which is supposed to be the length of the duration of the persecution of antichrist. (Challoner) (Apocalypse xi. 2. and xii. 14.) --- Josephus (Bel. pref. [Jewish Wars, preface]) says the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 7:15-28

15-28 It is desirable to obtain the right and full sense of what we see and hear from God; and those that would know, must ask by faithful and fervent prayer. The angel told Daniel plainly. He especially desired to know respecting the little horn, which made war with the saints, and prevailed against them. Here is foretold the rage of papal Rome against true Christians. St. John, in his visions and prophecies, which point in the first place at Rome, has plain reference to these visions. Daniel... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 7:1-99

Daniel 7 IN Daniel 5.0 , we had the record of the last year, indeed of the last hours, of the kingship of Belshazzar. As we open chapter 7, we are carried back to the first year of his reign. At this time Daniel had sunk into complete obscurity, as chapter 5 bears witness. He had lost touch with worldly fame, but by a dream he was still in touch with heaven. Previously his fame had largely rested upon his God-given interpretations of dreams, though in Daniel 2.0 the interpretation was revealed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 7:15-28

The Interpretation of the Vision v. 15. I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, for the body contains the spirit as the scabbard contains the sword, and the visions of my head troubled me, he felt apprehensive concerning them. v. 16. I came near unto one of them that stood by, one of those engaged in the service of God, and asked him the truth of all this, the true explanation of the judgment scene which was here enacted. So he told me and made me know the... read more
