Daniel 7:2 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 7:2

Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night
He declared he had had a vision by night, and this was the substance of it: and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea:
the east, west, north, and south winds, broke out from each of their quarters, and rushed in upon the great sea; either the Mediterranean, so called in comparison of the sea of Sodom, and the sea of Tiberias in Judea; or upon the waters of the main ocean, and raised up its waves, and seemed as it were to be striving and fighting with them, and put them into a strange agitation; by which may be meant the whole world, and the kingdoms and nations of it, because of its largeness, inconstancy, instability, and disquietude; see ( Revelation 17:15 ) ( Isaiah 57:20 ) , and by the "four winds" some understand the angels, either good or bad, concerned in the affairs of Providence on earth, either by divine order or permission; or rather the kings of the earth raising commotions in it, striving and fighting with one another, either to defend or enlarge their dominions; and which have been the means in Providence of the rising up of some great state or monarchy, as after appears.

Daniel 7:2 In-Context

1 En el primer año del reinado de Belsasar en Babilonia, Daniel tuvo un sueño y visiones mientras yacía en su lecho. Entonces puso por escrito lo más importante de su sueño,
2 y esto es lo que escribió:«Durante la noche tuve una visión, y en ella veía al gran mar, agitado por los cuatro vientos del cielo.
3 Del mar salían cuatro bestias enormes, cada una diferente de la otra.
4 »La primera de ellas se parecía a un león, pero sus alas eran las de un águila. Mientras yo la observaba, le arrancaron las alas, la levantaron del suelo, y la obligaron a pararse sobre sus patas traseras, como si fuera un hombre. Y se le dio un corazón humano.
5 »La segunda bestia que vi se parecía a un oso. Se levantaba sobre uno de sus costados, y entre sus fauces tenía tres costillas. A esta bestia se le dijo: “¡Levántate y come carne hasta que te hartes!”
