Daniel 8:15

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

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 8:1-27

Two years later, in the third year of king Belshazzar's reign, another vision came to Daniel. It was of a ram with two horns pushing westward, northward, and southward. As Daniel watched, a he goat attacked the ram, and overcame him, and magnified himself. Four horns appeared, out of one of which came another, which grew until it had broken down the sanctuary. A voice of a holy one inquired how long this would continue, and the answer was given to Daniel. Again he pondered the vision, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 8:15-16

The Angel Gabriel Appears To Interpret the Vision. ‘And so it was that when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and behold there stood before me the appearance of a man, and I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man (or ‘that one there’ - hallaz) to understand the vision.’ Daniel, considering the vision he had seen and seeking in his own mind to understand it, suddenly saw the appearance of a man (gaber... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 8:1-27

Daniel 8. The Vision of the Ram and the He-goat.— This chapter gives an account of another vision which came to Daniel in Shushan. Near the river Ulai a ram with two horns is seen pushing invincibly westward and northward and southward. Suddenly from the W. a he-goat appears, attacks the ram, and breaks his horns. Then, the he-goat “ magnified himself exceedingly.” The “ notable horn” between his eyes is broken and four other horns spring up to take its place. Out of these four horns... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 8:15

Having obtained the favour of knowing something, he longed for a more clear discovery of those things; and he had his desire granted. As the appearance of a man; either the angel Gabriel or Michael, who appeared often in the shape of men, and are the messengers of God in the great things concerning his church, Hebrews 1:14; others will have this angel to be Christ. read more

Chapter 8Now two years later:In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even as unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first ( Daniel 8:1 ).A similar type of a vision.But in this vision; it came to pass, and I saw, that I was in Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. And then I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, behold, there stood before a river a ram that had two horns: and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 8:1-27

Daniel 8:2 . At Shushan in the palace. Some think that Daniel was now ambassador at the Persian court. The Ulai or Eulæus, is a great and navigable river which watered Ecbatana, capital of Media, and then, after a course of two hundred and fifty miles, washed Shushan, or the lily, so called from the beauty of the country. Daniel’s residence here may farther account for Belshazzar’s imperfect knowledge of him. But was not Shushan at this time subject to Babylon; and Persepolis capital of... read more

Daniel 8:1-27Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns.The World-powers and IsraelA glance at the particulars in this vision is enough to satisfy us that we have to do with some of the same powers brought to view in the preceding chapter, and in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. What, at first glance, we might be disposed to regard as mere repetitions are not such in reality. There is something connected with the repetition to adapt it to some... read more
