Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:1-28

Daniel 7:1-28 The principles which underlie this prophecy are at once profoundly suggestive and exceedingly important. I.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 7:13-14

Daniel 7:13-14 Christ the centre of Biblical thought. I. Observe some of the details of Biblical truth in which the centring of revelation in Christ is seen.

Scofield's Reference Notes - Daniel 7:8

little horn The vision is of the end of Gentile world-dominion. The former Roman empire (the iron kingdom of Daniel 2:33-35; Daniel 2:40-44; Daniel 7:7 will have ten horns (i.e. kings, Revelation 17:12 corresponding to the ten toes of the image. As Daniel considers this vision of the ten kings, there rises up amongst them a "little horn" (king), who subdues three of the ten kings so completely that the separate identity of their kingdoms is destroyed. Seven kings of the ten are left, and the... read more
