이 장에 대해 AI에게 묻기

Daniel 7 pulls back the curtain on empire, violence, and dominion. Earthly kingdoms appear terrifying, but above them sits the Ancient of Days.

장 주석 열기

Daniel 7 is given to people who could easily conclude that history belongs to whatever power is loudest, cruelest, and most durable. The chapter tears that lie open. In Daniel 7:2-8, the kingdoms of the earth do not appear as noble progress. They rise as beasts. That is how empire looks when heaven interprets it. Power that glorifies itself becomes monstrous. Yet the chapter refuses to leave the reader staring only at threat. In Daniel 7:9-10, the scene shifts to the Ancient of Days, seated in judgment, untouched by the frenzy below. The throne room is the chapter’s correction to panic. Then Daniel 7:13-14 reveals the Son of Man receiving dominion, glory, and a kingdom that will not pass away. This is not a passing symbolic flourish. It is the answer to beastly rule. By Daniel 7:21-22, the saints are still shown suffering conflict before vindication arrives, which means the chapter does not encourage denial of pressure. It teaches perseverance under the certainty of God’s rule. Daniel 7 matters because it asks whether you interpret history from below, captivated by the scale of earthly power, or from above, where dominion already belongs to the One to whom the Ancient of Days gives the kingdom.

How the chapter unfolds

The chapter moves from beastly kingdoms and heaven’s courtroom into the vindication of the Son of Man and the saints.

Why this chapter matters

It matters because it teaches believers how to interpret history when power looks monstrous and faithfulness feels weak.

Interpretive tension to watch

The chapter warns against being captivated either by fear or speculation. Its purpose is endurance under heaven’s rule.

1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter. 2 Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea: 3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another. 4 The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him. 5 And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh. 6 After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him. 7 After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes. 8 As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things. 9 I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire. 10 A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened. 11 Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire. 12 As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season. 13 As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him. 14 And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed. 15 I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide. 16 Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things. 17 These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth, 18 And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer. 19 After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete. 20 Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes. 21 I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them, 22 Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome. 23 Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces. 24 And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings, 25 And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time. 26 But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende. 27 And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him. 28 Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.

구절 7:2-8 Deep

When heaven interprets empire, beastliness is exposed

열기

Daniel is not shown polished statecraft. He is shown beasts. The chapter tears away the glamour of arrogant kingdoms and reveals what power becomes when it rises against God. This is apocalyptic mercy: heaven teaches the saints how to read what terrifies them.

핵심 본문
구절 7:9-14 Deep

The throne of the Ancient of Days breaks the panic of history from above

열기

The beasts are not the final horizon. Daniel is brought to the throne, to judgment, and to the Son of Man receiving dominion. The chapter trains endurance by relocating the believer’s vision from beastly noise to heavenly rule.

🔥 Revelation

The saints endure not because the beasts are small, but because the throne is higher.

직역: son of man

The figure appears in contrast to the beasts. Human likeness is set over against beastly empire and is joined to dominion from heaven.

It sharpens why Jesus’ use of “Son of Man” carries both humility and authority in apocalyptic context.

Daniel 7 · Apocalyptic empire world 텍스트로 이동

Daniel’s vision interprets empire through symbolic beasts, heavenly court, and final dominion, teaching persecuted saints to see history as heaven sees it.

Modern readers can turn apocalyptic imagery into speculation and miss that it is pastoral vision for endurance under empire.

It helps Daniel 7 function as courage-giving revelation rather than puzzle material.
