Notes
The holy people (also in Daniel 7:21–22, 25, 27) are those who belong only to God and share his character. In Daniel’s time, this referred to the people of Israel.
Only the Most High God can declare how history will end. Other ancient writers spoke of the ages or eras of earthly history, but none knew how it would end.
This chapter includes a frightening vision (Daniel 7:2–14) and its explanation (7:17–27). The order of kingdoms reminds us of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream about forty-five years earlier (Daniel 2:1–45).
