Daniele 7:11

11 Allora io guardai a motivo delle parole orgogliose che il corno proferiva; guardai, finché la bestia non fu uccisa, e il suo corpo distrutto, gettato nel fuoco per esser arso.

Daniele 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 7:11

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which
the horn spake
Or, "from the voice" ^F20; from the time it was heard, the prophet continued looking to see what would be the issue of all this; especially from the time he heard the little horn speak such blasphemous things against God, and Christ, and his people, which were so intolerable, that he concluded some notice would be taken of them in a way of correction and punishment; and the rather, when he saw the Judge appear with so much majesty and grandeur, and all things prepared for a judicial process: I beheld even till the beast was slain;
the fourth beast, the Roman monarchy, to which a period will be put, and be utterly abolished in every form and shape, and with it the little horn or Papacy; when the beast on which the whore of Rome sits and rules, and by whom she is supported, will go into perdition; and she herself shall be made desolate and naked, her flesh eaten, and she burned with fire by the ten horns, or kings, that shall rise up against her, being filled with hatred to her, ( Revelation 17:3 Revelation 17:8 Revelation 17:16 ) : and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame;
when Rome with all its power and wealth shall cease, and be no more, the whole body of the antichristian states shall perish; the city of Rome shall be burnt with fire; the beast and false prophet shall be taken and cast into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone, ( Revelation 18:8 ) ( 19:20 ) .

Daniele 7:11 In-Context

9 Io continuai a guardare fino al momento in cui furon collocati de’ troni, e un vegliardo s’assise. La sua veste era bianca come la neve, e i capelli del suo capo eran come lana pura; fiamme di fuoco erano il suo trono e le ruote d’esso erano fuoco ardente.

10 Un fiume di fuoco sgorgava e scendeva dalla sua presenza; mille migliaia lo servivano, e diecimila miriadi gli stavan davanti. Il giudizio si tenne, e i libri furono aperti.

11 Allora io guardai a motivo delle parole orgogliose che il corno proferiva; guardai, finché la bestia non fu uccisa, e il suo corpo distrutto, gettato nel fuoco per esser arso.

12 Quanto alle altre bestie, il dominio fu loro tolto; ma fu loro concesso un prolungamento di vita per un tempo determinato.

13 Io guardavo, nelle visioni notturne, ed ecco venire sulle nuvole del cielo uno simile a un figliuol d’uomo; egli giunse fino al vegliardo, e fu fatto accostare a lui.
