Daniel 7:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 7:4

2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea.

3 And four great beasts ^acame up from the sea, each different from the other.

4 The first was ^alike a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a ^bman’s heart was given to it.

5 ^a“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’

6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had ^afour heads, and dominion was given to it.

7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, ^aa fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, ^band it had ten horns.

8 I was considering the horns, and ^athere was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes ^bof a man, ^cand a mouth speaking pompous words.

Vision of the Ancient of Days

9 “I^a watched till thrones were put in place,
And ^bthe Ancient of Days was seated;
^cHis garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
^dIts wheels a burning fire;

10 ^aA fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
^bA thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
^cThe¹ court was seated,
And the books were opened.
