Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 8:15-27

15-27 The eternal Son of God stood before the prophet in the appearance of a man, and directed the angel Gabriel to explain the vision. Daniel's fainting and astonishment at the prospect of evils he saw coming on his people and the church, confirm the opinion that long-continued calamities were foretold. The vision being ended, a charge was given to Daniel to keep it private for the present. He kept it to himself, and went on to do the duty of his place. As long as we live in this world we must... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 8:1-99

Daniel 8 WE NOW LEAVE that portion of the prophecy that deals specially with the Gentile powers; and so, as we begin chapter 8, the language of the original reverts to Hebrew from the Chaldee. The vision recorded in this chapter, is dated about two years after the one we have just considered. Though Gentile powers are still in view, the main point seems to be their action in regard to Jerusalem with its sanctuary and sacrifices. It came to Daniel not when he was in Babylon but rather in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 8:15-27

The Explanation of the Vision v. 15. And it came to pass when I, even I, Daniel, had seen the vision and sought for the meaning, pondering over it, viewing it from every angle, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man, the apparition coming with startling suddenness. v. 16. And I heard a man's voice, the speaker being invisible to Daniel, between the banks of Ulai, coming from between the two branches of the Eulaeus River, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man... read more

The vision of the two world-kingdoms and their fallDaniel 8:1-271In the third year of1 the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me [I] Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. 2And I saw in a vision (and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at [in] Shushan in the palace [or, citadel], which is in the province of Elam); and I saw in a vision, and I was by [upon] the river of Ulai.3Then [And] I lifted up mine eyes and saw, and, behold, there stood... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 8:15-27

God’s Deliverance Is Sure Daniel 8:15-27 It does not fall within our province to go into the various fulfillments which have been assigned to the predictions of this chapter-one to the time of the Maccabees, one to our own days, and one to that malign Satanic power which stands up perpetually against the Prince of princes. Let us dwell, rather, on the assertion that whatever sets itself against the kingship of Jesus Christ shall inevitably be broken. The Church of God is menaced today, as... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 8:1-27

Two years later, in the third year of king Belshazzar's reign, another vision came to Daniel. It was of a ram with two horns pushing westward, northward, and southward. As Daniel watched, a he goat attacked the ram, and overcame him, and magnified himself. Four horns appeared, out of one of which came another, which grew until it had broken down the sanctuary. A voice of a holy one inquired how long this would continue, and the answer was given to Daniel. Again he pondered the vision, and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 8:20-22

The Interpretation of the Vision. ‘The ram which you saw, which had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.’ This confirms what we have seen above, all given in a few words within which more than three hundred years have passed by.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 8:1-27

Daniel 8. The Vision of the Ram and the He-goat.— This chapter gives an account of another vision which came to Daniel in Shushan. Near the river Ulai a ram with two horns is seen pushing invincibly westward and northward and southward. Suddenly from the W. a he-goat appears, attacks the ram, and breaks his horns. Then, the he-goat “ magnified himself exceedingly.” The “ notable horn” between his eyes is broken and four other horns spring up to take its place. Out of these four horns... read more
