Daniel 7:16 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 7:16

I came near unto one of them that stood by
To one of the angels that attended, either the throne of judgment, or, the Son of man in his approach to his divine Father: and asked him the truth of all this;
the substance of these visions; what these images, presented to his view, were shadows and representations of; so type and truth, shadow and substance, are opposed to each other. The real meaning of all this was what he asked; nor need any be ashamed to ask of whomsoever they can hope to get knowledge of truth, and especially of superiors, of the angels of the churches, or pastors of them: so he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things;
he interpreted everything in the vision to him, and gave him the true meaning and real design of the whole, as follows: this was asked and told, not when Daniel was awake, and was considering of what he had dreamed; but in his dream, in his vision by night; this was all transacted in a visionary way, both the things and the interpretation of them.

Daniel 7:16 In-Context

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.

18 "Pero los santos del Altísimo recibirán el reino y poseerán el reino para siempre, por los siglos de los siglos."
