Context of Daniel 7:15

13In my visions during the night, I saw among the clouds in heaven someone like the Son of Man. He came to the Ancient One, who has lived for endless years, and was presented to him. 14He was given power, honor, and a kingdom. People from every province, nation, and language were to serve him. His power is an eternal power that will not be taken away. His kingdom will never be destroyed. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled, and my visions frightened me. 16I went to someone who was standing there and asked him to tell me the truth about all this. So he told me what all this meant. 17He said, “These four large animals are four kingdoms that will rise to power on the earth.

That the spirit may exist independently of its body, as the sword does independently of its sheath.Read the comment
