Revised Rome and
revived Greece
7:8 [1]
I
considered the [ten] horns [revised
Rome],
and,
[2] behold, there came up among them
[a.] another
little horn
[revived Greece],
[a.] before
whom there were three of the first horns
[11.]
plucked up by the roots: [three of the revised Roman nations are taken over
by the Antichrist (by flattery),
forming the Revived Grecian Empire;
the remaining of the 10 horns give their power and authority to the Antichrist (Dan.
7:24; Rev. 17:16-17); see
How To Quickly
Locate the Antichrist in Scripture]
and, behold,
[b.] in this horn [were]
[11.] eyes like the eyes of [the] man, and
[12.] a mouth
speaking great things [he corrupts by flatteries (Dan.
11:21; Dan.
11:32, 34); and shall enter
peaceably (Dan.
11:21)].
The judgment is set and the books are open
7:9 I beheld till [the
Antichrist shall reign until]
[1] the thrones [thrones of the Antichrist
and the 10 kings] were cast down
(Rev.
17:14;
Rev. 19:19-21),
and
[2] the Ancient of days did sit
[the Father],
[a.] whose garment [was] white as snow, and
[b.] the hair of his head like the pure wool:
[c.] his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and]
[d.] his wheels [as] burning fire.
7:10 [e.] A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him:
[f.] thousand thousands ministered unto him [angels], and
[g.] ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him [the Church and Old Testament saints]:
[3] the judgment was set, and
[4] the books were opened (Dan. 8:26).
7:11 I beheld then [after the judgment was set and the books were opened]
[1] because of the voice of the great
words
[a.] which
the horn spake
[vs. 8]:
[2] I beheld [even[ till the beast was slain [the Antichrist is killed because of his words], and
[a.] his
body destroyed, and
[11.] given
to the burning flame (Rev. 19:20).
Each kingdom rules only during its appointed time
7:12
As concerning the rest of the
beasts,
[1] they had their dominion taken away [the earlier kingdoms ruled
only in their time and season]:
[2] yet their lives were prolonged for
[a.] a
season and
[b.] time
7:13 I saw in the night visions, and,
behold,
[1] [one] like the Son of man [Jesus]
[a.] came
with the clouds of heaven, and
[b.] came to
the Ancient of days [the Father (Rev.
5:6)], and
[11.] they brought him near before him.
7:14
And [c.] there was given him
[11.] dominion,
and
[12.] glory,
and a
[13.] kingdom
[the millennial kingdom
of heaven on the earth (Rev. 20:4-6)], that all
[aa.] people,
[bb.] nations, and
[cc.] languages,
[111.] should
serve him:
[d.] his dominion [is] an everlasting
dominion,
[11.] which shall not pass away, and
[e.] his
kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.
