Context of Daniel 7:24

22But then the God who has ruled for ever arrived. As judge, he said that the holy people of the Most High God were good and right. Then the time came for God's holy people to receive the kingdom, so that it belonged to them. 23The person that I had asked told me this: “The fourth animal shows that there will be a fourth kingdom on the earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms. It will use its power to destroy the whole earth. It will stamp on everything and break them into pieces. The ten horns show that ten kings will rule that kingdom. After them, another king will come to rule. He will be different from the other kings. He will get power over three kings. 25He will insult the Most High God. He will be cruel to God's holy people. He will try to change the days for God's festivals and the laws about them. God's people will be under his power for three and a half times. 26Then God's court will be ready to judge him. He will lose his authority to rule as king. That will be the end of his kingdom for ever!

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 23-27Verses 23-27 Thus he said … - That is, in explanation of the fourth symbol which appeared - the fourth beast, and of the events connected with his appearing. This explanation embraces the remainder of the chapter; and as the whole subject appeared difficult and momentous to Daniel before the explanation, so it may be said to be in many respects difficult, and in all respects momentous still.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-28Verses 15-28 It is desirable to obtain the right and full sense of what we see and hear from God; and those that would know, must ask by faithful and fervent prayer. The angel told Daniel plainly. He especially desired to know respecting the little horn, which made war with the saints, and prevailed against them.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 24-25the ten horns are ten kings: This number might refer to ten specific individuals, or it might symbolize that this kingdom lasted through the reigns of many kings (compare Revelation 13:1). Then another king, who is the little horn (Daniel 7:21), will defy the Most High. He will oppress the holy people by: speaking against the Lord, interfering with their worship, trying to force them to follow his religion, and constantly threatening them. a time, and…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2424. ten horns--answering to the ten "toes" (Da 2:41). out of this kingdom--It is out of the fourth kingdom that ten others arise, whatever exterior territory any of them possess (Re 13:1; 17:12). rise after them--yet contemporaneous with them; the ten are contemporaries. Antichrist rises after their rise, at first "little" (Da 7:8); but after destroying three of the ten, he becomes greater than them all (Da 7:20, 21). The three being gone, he is the…Read the comment
