Daniel 7:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 7:22

20 and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke¹ pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.

21 “I was watching; ^aand the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,

22 until the Ancient of Days came, ^aand a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

23 “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
^aA fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.

24 ^aThe ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.

25 ^aHe shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall ^bpersecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall ^cintend to change times and law.
Then ^dthe saints shall be given into his hand
^eFor a time and times and half a time.
