‏ Daniel 7:9-10

The Vision of the Four Beasts.

This part of Daniel’s vision is meant to comfort God’s people. It shows that, even though powerful kingdoms may rise and persecute believers, God is still in control. There will be a final judgment, and God’s kingdom will last forever. These verses remind us that God’s people can have hope, even in hard times, because God will judge evil and set up His everlasting kingdom.

v. 9–10: Daniel saw thrones set up and the “Ancient of days” (God) sitting to judge. God’s clothing was white as snow, showing His purity and wisdom. His throne was like fire, and its wheels were burning flames. A river of fire flowed out from before Him. Thousands and thousands of angels stood before Him, ready to serve. The court was seated, and the books were opened, showing that God’s judgment is fair and nothing is hidden (Daniel 7:9–10; Psalm 103:19 a; Revelation 20:11–12 b).
