Daniel 7:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Daniel 7:10

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.

12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

13 “I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, ^aOne like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.

Daniel 7:10

thousand . . . ministered unto him—so at the giving of the law (Deuteronomy 33:2; Psalms 68:17; Hebrews 12:22; Judges 1:14).

ten . . . thousand before him—image from the Sanhedrim, in which the father of the consistory sat with his assessors on each side, in the form of a semicircle, and the people standing before him.

judgment was set—The judges sat (Revelation 20:4).

books . . . opened— (Revelation 20:12). Forensic image; all the documents of the cause at issue, connected with the condemnation of Antichrist and his kingdom, and the setting up of Messiah's kingdom. Judgment must pass on the world as being under the curse, before the glory comes; but Antichrist offers glory without the cross, a renewed world without the world being judged.
