When his appointed time is over, God will destroy this king and his kingdom and establish His eternal kingdom on the earth. The final outcome is Gods people under the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, will receive the kingdom. Salvation is likewise a process involving sufferingand then glory. Up to this time, it was simply a synonym for being human, a son of man. The three ribs in the bears mouth between its teeth most likely represent Babylon, Egypt, and Lydia, three empires conquered by the Medo-Persian empire. Just what this means is unclear, but it suggests this arrogant king not only speaks against God, but, like Satan, he aspires to change the order God has established. The king is told that all of these earthly kingdoms would be destroyed by the stone not fashioned by human hands, and that an eternal kingdom would take the place of these temporal kingdoms. The fourth beast receives greater attention and is of the most interest to Daniel. Daniel 5 is an illustration and a prototype of what will happen in the end times, as described in the prophecy of Daniel 7. The next three are waking visions seen in the presence of angels, followed by an appearance of the Messiah - the Son of Man - to interpret the vision for Daniel. Not only was he greatly alarmed and physically sick, but he says he also kept the matter to himself. In His response to the demand of the high priest, Jesus directly claimed to be the promised Messiah. 13 I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.77 14 And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations, and men of every language Might serve Him. Different from the first three, this beast seems uglier, more powerful, and much more hostile toward God and His saints. So, I began the review by looking at the first 14 verses where Daniel gives us a summary of the visions he had as he dreamed in his sleep. Two weeks ago, we quickly looked at the description of the beast that John sees in Revelation 13 and he described it as a composite of the first three beasts, the body of a leopard, the feet or paws of a bear, and the head and mouth of a lion. It is virtually the opposite of the term beast. The expression, Son of man, is not new to Daniel. Since the last kingdom and the prophecies associated with it have not yet been fulfilled, we must in some way be a part of that kingdom. According to verse 1, the written record of the revelation Daniel received in his first night vision is but a summary of the prophecy he received. (4) This is the first prophecy in the book revealed directly to Daniel. He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. The Son of Man had the power to forgive sins, as well as to heal a paralytic (Matthew 9:6). He intends to make changes in time and in law. Daniels response is testimony to this reality. Daniel, a godly prophet and a man of unshakable faith, has been steadfast in his daily walk of fellowship with God throughout the first six chapters of the Book of Daniel. How was the fourth beast different from the first three? The first beast was lion-like, with wings like that of an eagle.79 Its wings were plucked from it; if this happened in mid-air, he must have plummeted to the ground. Encouraged to do so, it savagely devours. It therefore seems that the two prophecies speak of the same four kingdoms by means of different imagery. Daniel described the beast as having iron teeth and that it devours, crushes, and tramples under its feet all that stands in its way. (5) While the process involves wicked kings and nations and the suffering of the saints, the culmination is the establishment of Gods eternal kingdom. Editing is often evident in the Bible (see John 20:30-31; 31:25). 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. Each of the four beasts represent a king and thus a resulting kingdom. Je. The first time in Daniel 7:13, he is referring to Messiah, who will sit on the eternal throne of His father, David. Daniel returned to his house and explained the situation to his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Arrogant, boastful, and even blasphemous kings will reign over the nations, opposing God and oppressing His saints. Chapter 9, on the other hand, has a historical account of Daniels study of Jeremiah and of his prayers of repentance and petition for Israels restoration and return to the land of promise. The latter prophecy of Daniel 7 adds many more details than were revealed in chapter 2. 16 At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him. The wrenching off of the wings and the transformation of the lion, making him stand on two legs and giving him the mind of a man was a picture of God humbling Nebuchadnezzar and then restoring him to his right mind, you can read about this in Daniel 4. (3) This chapter contains the major segment of Daniel, which is primarily prophetic, although it does not contain the first prophecy in the Book of Daniel. Daniel urged them to pray for mercy from the God of heaven, . Even those portions which we believe have been fulfilled, students of prophecy differ about the way of their fulfillment. (19-26) Daniel explains the rise and coming fall of Nebuchadnezzar. When the iniquity of the blasphemous horn reaches full bloom and his appointed time to rule is fulfilled, God will destroy him, casting his body into the fire. The process of having a baby involves the pains of childbirth. His disciples were promised that they would share in His reign as King (19:20). In Daniels dream the Greek empire and Alexander the great were represented by the four-headed, four-winged leopard. When the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth, having added perfect humanity to His undiminished deity, He spoke of Himself very often as the Son of Man. In the Gospels, Jesus began not only to identify Himself as the Messiah, the promised Son of Man, but also to explain all that this involved. (1) It follows the narrative concerning Mishael, Hananiah and Azariah in the matter of Nebuchadnezzar's golden image (Daniel 3). (3) What principles should guide and govern our attempt to interpret the prophecy of this chapter? In chapter 5, King Belshazzars dream should have greatly alarmed him, but apparantly it did not. The second and third beasts are briefly described in verses 5 and 6. Daniel writes that at this point the revelation was ended. It was said ( ch. He wants to know more about this dreadful beast, different from the rest, especially in the destruction he wrought. A revelation from God in his sleep discloses future events which Daniel finds most troubling. Looking about with its numerous eyes, no one can escape his look or hide from him.80 With its mouth, the beast continues to speak boastfully. The prophecy of this chapter is divinely interpreted. No wonder His words stung and prompted them to act as they did. What role do they play in relation to the four beasts? In his interpretation of the dream, Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar he was the head of gold. The nation of Israel has been set aside by divine discipline in the present times of the Gentiles, which began with Nebuchadnezzar. Second, the prophecies of Daniel are to be understood in the light of the entire Book of Daniel, of the Old Testament, and of the Bible as a whole. The fact that wicked men will prosper and prevail and that the righteous will suffer is hardly pleasant news. Nebuchadnezzar was the first ruler of Babylon to have contact with Daniel. I encourage you to compare the statements of Daniel 2:21-22, 44, 47; 4:3, 34-35, 37; 6:26 with the content and declarations of Daniel 7. The chapter falls into two major parts. It seems safe to assume the interpreter was an angelic being; at least this is the case in chapter 8 (8:15-26). So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17 These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. Nevertheless, Daniel tells no one, keeping the matter to himself and suffering a quiet agony over the future events God has revealed to him. Where it has not caused distress, it should have. 18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so . God also allows the wicked to persist and even to prosper, so that those whom He has chosen might be saved (Romans 9:22-24). 1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of Median descent, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans 2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy They believed that the Messiah would come to establish the kingdom, to bless the Jews and to condemn the Gentiles. All distinctions of race and colour and nationality are stripped away and one apparently human figure represents the whole human race. Joyce C. Baldwin, Daniel: An Introduction and Commentary (Downers Grove: Inter-Varsity Press, 1978), p. 150. Who is the Son of Man? We know from history that though Persia rose later than Media it soon overshadowed Media in its power. The other three are removed from power but allowed to live for some time after their removal (verse 12). 2 Peter 3:8-9, But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. The dream vortex dies with her, and Rose awakens with her brother, Jed, sleeping next to her. The identity of the kingdoms represented by the other body parts and metals was not revealed. Those who will reign with Christ are those who have suffered (see Romans 8:17; Philippians 3:10-11; 2 Timothy 2:12). Prophecy is not a pep rally, which generates a great burst of short-term enthusiasm but does little to inspire faith and endurance in the midst of suffering. Having related the dream, Daniel then interprets it: it concerns four successive kingdoms, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar, which will be replaced by the everlasting kingdom of the God of heaven. Specifically, the account of The Bad News at Belshazzars Banquet (not a bad title for that lesson) in chapter 5 was given to us so that we could better understand the prophecies of chapters 7 and 8. Consequently, it is little wonder that in the events recorded in Daniel 5, Belshazzar was ignorant of Daniel and the abilities God had given him. The second time, the expression is used in reference to Daniel himself, as it will be used very frequently in Ezekiel to refer to this great prophet: So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face; but he said to me, Son of man, understand that the vision pertains to the time of the end (Daniel 8:17). Just so, Christs suffering and glory is but a part of one coming. From the context, it would seem that Daniels distress is the result of the wickedness and oppression of the world kingdoms which are represented by the beasts, and by the knowledge that the saints will be oppressed and even overcome for a period of time. This designation refers to God the Father in a way that stresses His eternality, dignity, and power. So it was for our Lord (1 Peter 1:10-12), and so it will be for us. The inter-relationship between the prophecies of chapters 2 and 7 is demonstrated on the following page: Deterioration: Gold to iron mixed with clay, Deterioration: Nearly human to blaspheming beast. Subsequent revelations in the Book of Daniel which Daniel received were closely associated with some kind of agony or distress (see 8:17, 27; 9:20-21; 10:2-3, 7-10, 17; 12:8). During this ten-nation confederation another ruler will rise as described by the little horn. Our text challenges such a conclusion, and later prophecies in Daniel further document that the coming of the King and of the kingdom will be some time further in the future. Note that the description of the beasts is written in prose, while the description of the heavenly court in verses 9-10 and of the Son of Man in verses 13-14 is written in poetry form. Daniel obtaining some respite finds the dream. Remember he had seen the innumerable host of angels attending the Ancient of Days. Did Daniel interpret dreams? I did not include the insert today because I have already included it several times. The distance in time of the fulfillment of Daniel 7 said something very important to the captive Jews of Daniels day. 5. Daniel was exiled to Babylon when he was still a teenager. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time. When that happens, Daniel goes for option #2 of those listed above: he asks one of the people in his dream to interpret what is happening for him ( Da 7:15-16 ). International Standard Version so Daniel went to ask Nebuchadnezzar for an appointment to see him , and it was granted him so that he could reveal the meaning to the king. The ten horns are of interest to him, but most of all that final horn which arose, surpassing and replacing three others and speaking boastfully. Even the fate of this fourth beast is different than his three predecessors, as his life and his kingdom seem to end at the same moment. We are told the Old Testament prophet could not see the distance between the first and the second coming of our Lord, just as one cannot see the distance between two mountains, when viewed from afar. If we go back to Daniel 2 and look at the statue in Nebuchadnezzars dream, we find that it too represented four kings and their kingdoms. These both represent Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian empire. This beast is also unique among the four in that he grows 11 horns. (8) Is there any relationship between Nebuchadnezzars dream in chapter 2 and Daniels dream in chapter 7? The final words of verse 25 are carefully chosen to let the reader know that while this king appears to be successfully opposing God, all he does is a part of the divine plan for the last days. We have already seen time frame in Revelation referring to half of the seven-year tribulation. How easily we turn from what is revealed to speculate about what has been concealed (see Deuteronomy 29:29). La Habra, CA : The Lockman Foundation, 1995, [2]New American Standard Bible : 1995 Update. 5. Unfortunately, the king did not heed the dreams warning, and his kingdom was taken away for a time. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints (Revelation 13:1-10). In the second year: It is difficult to understand the exact time this speaks of. Alexandra was also intrigued by the profession Spencer was in, which made her want to spend more time with him. At-A-Glance 1. Valentina's bond with Sophie, Sid's reaching out to Jesse, and Charlie trying hard to bring Sid and Jesse back together so that the group can go back to being their normal selves and not be an awkward bunch of people not wanting to discuss actual problems. As Daniel sought to discover more truth about the fourth beast he added some details that he had left out of his first description. As Daniel continues to watch, another horn emerges, as three of the other horns are plucked out by the roots to make room for it. Yet Gods covenant to David (2 Samuel 7:16; Psalm 89:14) stands and will ultimately be fulfilled. The First Vision is a dream of the king that is interpreted by Daniel. Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. Nebuchadnezzar became distressed when he received his first night vision (2:1) because he did understand some of his dream. In Gods economy, things are not what they appear to be. This description certainly fits the account of Nebuchadnezzars plunge from power and sanity in chapter 4. 78 Walvoord thinks this is the year 553 B.C., some 14 years before the fall of Babylon. Time: refers to one year, times is understood in Aramaic (the language this chapter was originally written in) to mean a dual or two, so times refers to two years and half a time refers to one half of a year. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself (verse 28). The expression is used in the Psalms in a more pregnant way, in reference to the coming Messiah. In his vision, the statue collapsed and disappeared, because a mysterious stone struck it at its feet. Desiring a more detailed explanation, he apparently asked for one and received it. Thus, the vision is yet unfulfilled in terms of its major emphasis. Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? The prophecies of Daniel 7 speak of a future day of reckoning, foreshadowed by the actions of Belshazzar and the judgment of God on him and his kingdom. The next portion of the statue in Daniel 2 was the chest and arms of silver which represented the Medo-Persian Empire which was even larger than the Babylonian empire. Chapter 7 reveals in broad terms what the future holds. The final push of the times of the Gentiles will last for 3 years, then the end will come, the end of the times of the Gentiles., THE JUDGMENT AND THE FIFTH KINGDOM (Daniel 7:26-27). What it does not destroy or consume with its teeth, it crushes under foot, much like a bull in a china shop. He questioned His disciples so that they could confess that He, the Son of Man, was the Messiah (16:13f.). (4) Suffering is to be expected by the saints, before they enter into the glorious kingdom of God. The scene of the four beasts arising from the sea, which Daniel saw in his night vision, is strikingly similar to the account found in the 13th chapter of Revelation: 1 And he stood on the sand of the seashore, and I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. The first of Daniel's four beasts is "like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle" ( Daniel 7:4 ). (Numbers 23:19). I have heard a number of attempts to explain the gaps in Old Testament prophecy. Nebuchadnezzar's Threat One night, Nebuchadnezzar awoke frightened by a dream. As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me. However, it must have been in the latter part of Nebuchadnezzar's reign. Chapter 7 moves from the historical accounts of Daniel and his three friends to the prophetic revelations received by Daniel in the last half of the Book.76 The following chart may help us visualize the relationship of Daniels prophecies to the historical setting in which they were revealed: The first prophetic revelation is found in Daniel 2. In spite of all these beasts do and say, in spite of their power and even their success, neither they nor their kingdoms will last. The angel says the Antichrist will seek to make alterations in times and in law. This angel, beginning in the second half of verse 23 is describing the revived Roman empire which is yet future. The gap is not the prophets problem; it is ours. Passing over the first three beasts, his questions focus on the last beast. a. At this time the kingdom of God is established. Daniels vision ends here, but its impact on him does not end. Our deliverance from the power of sin and the penalty of death has been accomplished by our Lord, who suffered in our place. In my opinion, the most dramatic reference of our Lord to His identity as the Son of Man comes as the Lord Jesus stands on trial before the Sanhedrin and the high priest: 59 Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, in order that they might put Him to death; 60 and they did not find it, even though many false witnesses came forward. (See Daniel 2:24, Note. The emphasis of this brief interpretation falls not on the enemies of God, their power, their brutality, nor their boasting, but on the kingdom of God, its certainty and its permanence for all the saints forever. Belshazzar came to power several years after the death of Nebuchadnezzar and seems to have turned completely away from the God of Israel. Students will learn that they can trust God in difficult times because in the end God wins the battle over the enemy of this world Satan. Jesus applied this text to them, not as those who would enter into His kingdom, but as those who would be judged at His return. Daniel was told that the beasts are kings, but he was not told the identity of any of the kings. In Daniel's dream the Medo-Persian empire and it king Cyrus was represented by the bear. When the Lord Jesus came to the earth, He often referred to Himself as the Son of Man, gradually making it clear that He was the Messiah who was God incarnate. He would, after His death, burial, and resurrection come in His glory, rewarding men according to their deeds (16:27). In the Old Testament, the expression son of man was used most frequently in reference to men, who were merely (as opposed to God) human. Introduction to Daniel 11 While most prophecies in the Bible reveal events which will take place after the death of the recipient of the prophecy, the prophecy is revealed for impact upon those to whom it was revealed. In the first scene, heavenly winds are employed to whip up the sea from which the four beasts emerges. Jesus quoted the words of Daniel 7:13. If you remember from two weeks ago the bear was raised up on one side, this was to indicate that one part of this united kingdom overshadowed the other portion. It is significant for us to note Daniels reaction to this revelation from God. The entire empire was conquered between 334 and 330 B.C., just four years. The precise meaning of the symbols of the raised side and the three ribs is illusive. I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this.
