Being broken, i.e. by death, which breaks the horn of all pride and earthly glory. Four stood up for it, i.e. four kingdoms of the nations of the Greeks. Not in his power; that is, not in his majesty and magnificence, but inferior to him. read more

Daniel 8:1-27)This chapter presents to us another vision of Daniel vouchsafed to him in the reign of Belshazzar, but two years later than the preceding one, which is here mentioned as that which appeared to him “at the first,” or at an earlier period.
