[2] {and they}
This scene is identical with that of
# Re 5:6-10
There the ascription of praise of the "kings and priests"
(cf. v. 18, ref. a) ends with the words, "and we shall reign on
the earth." Rev. 6. opens the "vexing" of
# Ps 2:5
introductory to setting the king on Zion
# Ps 2:6 Re 20:4
The vision
# Da 7:9-14
reverses the order of events as they will be fulfilled. Verse 13
describes the scene in heaven (cf)
# Re 5:6-10
which, in fulfilment, precedes the events which Daniel sees in vision in
vs. 9-12. The historic order will be: (1) The investiture of the Son of
Man with the kingdom
# Da 7:13,14 Re 5:6-10
(2) the "vexing" of Psa 2.5, fully described in
# Mt 24:21,22
Re 6.-18.
(3) The return of the Son of Man in glory to deliver the "smiting"
blow of
# Da 2:45 7:9-11 Re 19:11-21
(4) The judgement of the nations and the setting up of the kingdom
# Da 7:10,26,27 Mt 25:31-46 Re 20:1-6
29905
[3] {him}
# Da 7:13,14
is identical with
# Re 5:1-7
and antedates the fulfilment of
# Da 2:34,35
# Da 7:13,14 Re 5:1-7
describe the investiture of the Son of Man and Son of David with the
kingdom authority, while
# Da 2:34,35
describes the crushing blow (\\Armageddon\\,
# Re 16:14
which destroys Gentile world-power, thus clearing the way for the actual
setting up of the kingdom of heaven.
# Da 2:34,35 Re 19:19-21
are the same event.
29908
[4] {beasts}
The monarch vision of Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 2) covers the same historic
order as the beast vision of Daniel, but with this difference:
Nebuchadnezzar saw the imposing outward power and splendour of the "times
of the Gentiles"
# Lu 21:24 Re 16:19
while Daniel saw the true character of Gentile world-government as
rapacious and warlike, established and maintained by force. It is
remarkable that the heraldic insignia of the Gentile nations are all
beasts or birds of prey.
29917
[1] {and they shall}
The end of Gentile world-power. (1) In the beast vision of Daniel 7. the
fourth beast (v. 7) is declared to be "the fourth kingdom," i.e. the
Roman empire, the "iron" kingdom of Dan. 2. The "ten horns" upon the
fourth beast (Roman empire), v. 7, are declared to be "ten kings that
shall arise" (v. 24) answering to the ten toes of the image vision of
Dan. 2. The ten kingdoms, covering the regions formerly ruled by Rome,
will constitute, therefore, the form in which the fourth or Roman empire
will exist when the whole fabric of Gentile world-domination is smitten
by the "stone cut out without hands" == Christ
# Da 2:44,45 7:9
(2) But Daniel sees a "little horn" of Dan. 8.--a prophecy fulfilled in
Antiochus Epiphanes
» See Note "Da 8:9"
In Rev. 13, additional particulars of the "little horn" of Dan. 7.
are given.
» See Note "Re 13:1"
29920
[2] {vision}
The eighth chapter gives details concerning the second and third
world-kingdoms: the silver and brass kingdoms of Dan. 2.; the bear and
leopard kingdoms of Dan. 7., viz., the Medo-Persian and Macedonian
kingdoms of history. At the time of this vision (Dan 8.1) the first
monarchy was nearing its end. Belshazzar was the last king of that
monarchy.
29928
[1] {little horn}
The "little horn" here is a prophecy fulfilled in Antiochus Epiphanes,
B.C. 175, who profaned the temple and terribly persecuted the Jews. He
is not to be confounded with the "little horn" of Dan. 7. who is yet to
come, and who will dominate the earth during the great tribulation.
» See note "The Beast," "Da 7:8"
» See Note "Re 19:20"
and "The great tribulation,"
# Ps 2:5
» See Note "Re 7:14"
But Antiochus is a remarkable type of the Beast, the
terrible "little horn" of the last days. Verses 24,25 go beyond
Antiochus and evidently refer to the "little horn" of Dan. 7. Both
Antiochus and the Beast, but the Beast pre-eminently, are in view in
verses 24,25. That the "little horn" of Dan. 7. cannot be the little
horn of Dan 9.9-13, 23, is evident. The former comes up among the
\\ten\\ horns into which the \\fourth\\ empire (Roman) is to be divided;
the little horn of Dan. 8. comes out of one of the \\four\\ kingdoms into
which the \\third\\ (Grecian) empire was divided (v. 23), and in "the
latter time" of the four kingdoms (vs. 22,23). This was historically
true of Antiochus Epiphanes. They are alike in hatred of the Jews and of
God, and in profaning the temple. Cf. 7.25 (the Beast) with
# Da 8:10-12
(Antiochus).
29929
[2] {And it waxed great}
This passage (vs. 10-14) is confessedly the most difficult in prophecy, a
difficulty increased by the present state of the text. Historically this
was fulfilled in and by Antiochus Epiphanes, but in a more intense and
final sense Antiochus but adumbrates the awful blasphemy of the
"little horn" of
# Da 7:8,24,25 9:27 11:36-45 12:11
In Daniel
# Da 8:10-14
the actions of both "little horns" blend.
29932
[3] {desolation}
Seven times in Daniel the "desolation" is spoken of: (1) Of the
sanctuary,
# Da 8:13
fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes, B.C. 175-170.
(2) Of the sanctuary,
# Da 9:17
the condition in Daniel's time, when the Jews were in exile and the
sanctuary desolate. (3) Generally, of the land,
# Da 9:18
also referring to Daniel's time. (4) Of the sanctuary,
# 9:26
fulfilled A.D. 70, in the destruction of city and temple after the
cutting off of Messiah.
# Lu 21:20
Of the sanctuary, by the Beast,
# Da 9:27 11:31 12:11 * Cf
# Mt 24:15 Mr 13:14 2Th 2:3,8-12 Re 13:14:15
29938
[1] {end}
Two "ends" are in view here: (1) historically, the end of the third, or
Grecian empire of Alexander out of one of the divisions of which the
little horn of verse 9 (Antiochus) arose; (2) prophetically, the end of
the times of the Gentiles
# Lu 21:24 Re 16:14
when the "little horn" of
# Da 7:8,24-26
the Beast, will arise--Daniel's \\final\\ time of the end.
