8:25 And through his {l} policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by {m} peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the {n} Prince of princes; but he shall be broken {o} without hand.(l) Whatever he goes about by his craft, he will bring it to pass.(m) That is, under pretence of peace, or as it were in sport.(n) Meaning, against God.(o) For God would destroy him with a notable plague, and so comfort his Church. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 8:1-27

THE RAM AND THE HE - GOAT How much later was this vision than the preceding? Where was it revealed to Daniel (Daniel 8:2 )? It is important to keep in mind that it covers the same ground as the preceding, except that the story begins, not with Babylon’s supremacy, but that of the Medes and Persians represented by the ram (Daniel 8:3 ), though in the former vision by the bear. The higher horn of the ram is the Persian half of the empire. The united empire made conquests west, north and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 8:1-4

The third year of the reign of Belshazzar must have been before what is related of his death in the fifth Chapter; only this vision of Daniel is not placed in that order. The Prophet had his mind so impressed with this vision, that he puts down the place in which he supposed himself to have been in vision, and twice repeats, that it was to him, even to him, the vision was shown. Under the figure of a ram with two horns, might not unaptly represent the divided kingdom or government of Media and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 8:5-12

The principal feature of this history, in the battle of rams and he-goats, (meaning the kings of the earth,) is what is said of this creature magnifying himself against the Prince of the host, even Jesus and his people. And the host given unto him, against the daily sacrifice, can mean no other than the obstruction given by the king to the ordinances of God's house. The history of the Church confirms this. An Eastern monarch of the name of Antiochus, literally prohibited the Jews from this... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 8:13-14

There is somewhat interesting in this short account; short as it is, of what the Prophet over-heard of this conversation. It shows how attentive ministering spirits are in their office, who are sent forth to minister unto them who are heirs of salvation. Depend upon it, Reader! we are never less alone than when alone! Various have been the calculations of curious persons, concerning this period of two thousand and three hundred days. But the subject is left just where men find it. No one hath... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 8:15-19

I feel more disposed to enquire who this man was whose voice Daniel heard, than to attend to what the laboured efforts of unawakened, unregenerated men have written, in determining according to their presumptuous reasonings concerning the period of the two thousand three hundred days. The former is instructive, interesting, and profitable. The latter can be no more than conjecture after all, and too much obscured with mystery to speak of with any certainty. But I would humbly propose to the... read more
