Daniel 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 7:15

I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body,
&c.] Or "sheath" ^F1; the soul being in the body as a sword in its scabbard; where it was "cut" ^F2 and pierced, as the word signifies; and was wounded, distressed, and grieved at the vision seen; not at the sight of the Son of man, and the glorious and everlasting kingdom given to him; but of the four beasts, and especially the last, and more particularly the little horn, and the look, and words, and actions of that, as well as the awful scene of judgment presented to his view: and the visions of my head troubled me;
the things he saw, which appeared to his fancy as real things, gave him a great deal of uneasiness, and chiefly because he did not understand the meaning of them; it was not so much the things themselves, as ignorance of them, that cut him to the heart, and grieved and troubled him; for what is more so to an inquisitive mind, that has got a hint of something great and useful to be known, but cannot as yet come to the knowledge of it?

Daniel 7:15 In-Context

13 Seguí mirando en las visiones nocturnas, y he aquí, con las nubes del cielo venía uno como un Hijo de Hombre, que se dirigió al Anciano de Días y fue presentado ante El.

14 Y le fue dado dominio, gloria y reino, para que todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas le sirvieran. Su dominio es un dominio eterno que nunca pasará, y su reino uno que no será destruido.

15 A mí, Daniel, se me angustió por dentro el espíritu, y las visiones de mi mente seguían turbándome.

16 Me acerqué a uno de los que estaban allí de pie y le pedí que me dijera la verdad acerca de todo esto. Y me respondió, dándome a conocer la interpretación de estas cosas:

17 "Estas bestias enormes, que son cuatro, son cuatro reyes que se levantarán de la tierra.
