Study Notes

Daniel Chapter 7 Overview

Daniel received a dream and visions during the first year of Belshazzar's reign over Babylon.
He documented the dream, capturing its main facts.

The Beasts in Daniel's Vision

Daniel saw four great beasts rising from the sea, each distinct:
- The first beast resembled a lion with eagle's wings.
- Its wings were plucked, and it was transformed to stand like a man.
- The second beast appeared like a bear, raised on one side with three ribs in its mouth, commanded to "devour much flesh."
- The third beast resembled a leopard, adorned with four wings and four heads, granted dominion.
- The fourth beast was notably dreadful, with iron teeth, ten horns, and an ability to devour, break, and trample.

The Little Horn

Among the ten horns of the fourth beast, a small horn emerged, uprooting three of the original horns.
This little horn possessed human-like eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant words.

The Ancient of Days

Daniel witnessed thrones being set up, with the Ancient of Days taking His seat, characterized by a white garment and hair like pure wool.
A fiery stream flowed from His presence, attended by countless servants.

Judgment and Kingdom

The court was convened, and books were opened, signaling a time of judgment.
The pompous horn was judged, leading to the beast's destruction by fire.
Other beasts lost their dominion but were allowed to live for a time.

The Son of Man

Daniel saw “one like the Son of Man” approaching the Ancient of Days, who was given everlasting dominion, glory, and a kingdom to serve all nations.

Saints' Inheritance

The saints of the Most High are promised an everlasting possession of the kingdom.
The fourth beast is identified as a distinct and powerful kingdom, which will devour and dominate all others.
This kingdom will have ten kings, with a subsequent king who will be distinct and will subdue three kings.

The King's Actions

The latter king will blaspheme against the Most High, persecute the saints, and intend to alter laws and times.
Saints will be handed over to this king for a defined period but ultimately will receive dominion.

Conclusion of Vision

The final judgment will strip the latter king of his dominion, which will be utterly destroyed.
The kingdom will be given to the saints, characterized as everlasting, encompassing all dominions under heaven.
Daniel’s reaction to the vision was one of deep disturbance, although he chose to keep the matters close to his heart.
