| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "Because Abraham was appointed
heir of all the world, Ro 4:13, and in him all the faithful, therefore the kingdom of him
is theirs by right, which these four beasts or tyrants would invade, and usurp until the
world were restored by Christ. And this was to strengthen and encourage those that were in
troubles, that their afflictions would eventually have an end." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "The great event foretold in this passage, is Christ's glorious coming, to
destroy every antichristian power, and to render his own kingdom universal upon
earth." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "A son of man - That is, the Messiah, he came with the clouds of
heaven, gloriously, swiftly and terribly. And came - This relates to his
ascension, at which time, he received his royal investiture, for the protection of his
church, and curbing of their enemies." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The Representative Man
shall then realize the original destiny of man as Head of the creation (Ge 1:26,28); the
center of unity to Israel and the Gentiles." |

Pentecost B - Exegetical Notes on Daniel 7:9-10" Douglas
MacCallum Lindsay Judisch, Concordia Theological Seminary (LCMS -
Indiana).
| "The saints of God too,
however, are predicted to participate in the judging of faithless men
and devils (1 Corinthians 6: 2-3). Here in Daniel 7 itself they receive
"kingship and dominion" in a collective and derivative way by
virtue of association with the King of Kings (verse 27)." |

| "Last
Pentecost, Fulfillment B - Exegetical Notes on Daniel 7:13-14"
Douglas MacCallum Lindsay Judisch, Concordia Theological Seminary (LCMS
- Indiana).
| "The idea is, then,
that people drawn from all the ethnic and political and linguistic units
on earth "serve" the Son of Man as His vice-regents
"beneath the whole of the heavens" (as verse 27 says, where plch
reappears in the same form as in 14). The "saints of the Most
High" receive kingship only by delegation from the Son of Man, even
as they are "holy ones" only by the imputation His holiness." |

author utilized prophecies of the downfall of Babylon, supplemented
from elsewhere in the Bible, to paint his picture of the second
beast who is to be identified as Media and Persia." |

"Daniel 7, 2-14: Another
Look at Its Mythic Pattern," Anne E. Gardner, Biblica, 2001.
| "It
is pointed out that whereas the question of access, for the author of
Daniel, to the Baal mythology is problematic, the Enuma Elish was still
being recited in the Hellenistic period." |
