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

Geneva Study Bible - Daniel 7:9

7:9 I beheld till the {s} thrones were cast down, and the {t} Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.(s) Meaning, the places where God and his angels would come to judge these monarchies, which judgment would begin at the first coming of Christ.(t) That is, God who was before all times, and is here described in a way such that man’s nature is able to... 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 7:9-14

But whatever uncertainty we might be under respecting the precise meaning of the vision before related, there can be none in respect of what is said here. To whom can we make application concerning the Ancient of Days, but to Jehovah, who from one eternity to another, while all the empires of the earth moulder to dust, remains the same in the unchangeable nature of his existence and perfections; God over all blessed forever. And to whom shall we look for an explanation of what is said,... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:9

Ancient. The Son is born of the Father, and the Holy Ghost proceeds from both, yet all three are coeternal. (Worthington) --- Hence the Father is sometimes painted in this manner, though he be a pure spirit. His throne resembled that seen by Ezechiel, Chap. i. (Haydock) --- He takes cognizance of all, and punishes accordingly. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 7:9-14

9-14 These verses are for the comfort and support of the people of God, in reference to the persecutions that would come upon them. Many New Testament predictions of the judgment to come, have plain allusion to this vision; especially Revelation 20:11; Revelation 20:12. The Messiah is here called the Son of man; he was made in the likeness of sinful flesh, and was found in fashion as a man, but he is the Son of God. The great event foretold in this passage, is Christ's glorious coming, to... 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 7:1-14

The Vision of the Four Beasts v. 1. In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, who was coregent with his father Nabonidus and the grandson and adopted son of Nebuchadnezzar, according to the most reliable secular accounts, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head, distinct images of his mind, quite distinct from confused pictures, upon his bed, that is, during the night; then, immediately or soon after it transpired, he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters, setting... read more
