Daniel 7:2
_ _ the four winds — answering to the “four beasts”; their several conflicts in the four quarters or directions of the world.
_ _ strove — burst forth (from the abyss) [Maurer].
_ _ sea — The world powers rise out of the agitations of the political sea (Jeremiah 46:7, Jeremiah 46:8; Luke 21:25; compare Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:15; Revelation 21:1); the kingdom of God and the Son of man from the clouds of heaven (Daniel 7:13; compare John 8:23). Tregelles takes “the great sea” to mean, as always elsewhere in Scripture (Joshua 1:4; Joshua 9:1), the Mediterranean, the center territorially of the four kingdoms of the vision, which all border on it and have Jerusalem subject to them. Babylon did not border on the Mediterranean, nor rule Jerusalem, till Nebuchadnezzar’s time, when both things took place simultaneously. Persia encircled more of this sea, namely, from the Hellespont to Cyrene. Greece did not become a monarchy before Alexander’s time, but then, succeeding to Persia, it became mistress of Jerusalem. It surrounded still more of the Mediterranean, adding the coasts of Greece to the part held by Persia. Rome, under Augustus, realized three things at once — it became a monarchy; it became mistress of the last of the four parts of Alexander’s empire (symbolized by the four heads of the third beast), and of Jerusalem; it surrounded all the Mediterranean. |
Daniel 7:2
The four winds — Probably by the four winds of the great sea is signified commotions of contrary nations, striving together by wars, and producing these four beasts successively. |
Daniel 7:2
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon (b) the great sea.
(b) Which signified that there wold be horrible troubles and afflictions in the world in all corners of the world, and at various times. |
- the four:
Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
|
- the great:
Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
