Daniel 7:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 7:8

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.

11 “I watched then because of the sound of the¹ pompous words which the horn was speaking; ^aI watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
