Daniel 7:4
_ _ lion — the symbol of strength and courage; chief among the kingdoms, as the lion among the beasts. Nebuchadnezzar is called “the lion” (Jeremiah 4:7).
_ _ eagle’s wings — denoting a widespread and rapidly acquired (Isaiah 46:11; Jeremiah 4:13; Lamentations 4:19; Habakkuk 1:6) empire (Jeremiah 48:40).
_ _ plucked — Its ability for widespread conquests passed away under Evil-merodach, etc. [Grotius]; rather, during Nebuchadnezzar’s privation of his throne, while deranged.
_ _ it was lifted up from the earth — that is, from its groveling bestiality.
_ _ made stand ... as a man — So long as Nebuchadnezzar, in haughty pride, relied on his own strength, he forfeited the true dignity of man, and was therefore degraded to be with the beasts. Daniel 4:16 : “Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him.” But after he learned by this sore discipline that “the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men” (Daniel 4:35, Daniel 4:36), the change took place in him, “a man’s heart is given to him; instead of his former beast’s heart, he attains man’s true position, namely, to be consciously dependent on God.” Compare Psalms 9:20. |
Daniel 7:4
The first — This was the Chaldean, or Assyrian; whose seat was first at Babylon, afterwards at Nineveh, and then at Babylon again. Eagle's wings — They were swift, over — running many countries, and brought their monarchy to a prodigious height in a short time. The wings were plucked — Which was first done in stopping the career of their victories, and afterwards in casting them out of their kingdom. A man's heart — They lost their lion — like courage, and became faint and cowardly like other men. |
Daniel 7:4
The first [was] like a (c) lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
(c) Meaning the Assyrian and Chaldean empire, which was most strong and fierce in power, and most soon to come to their authority, as though they had wings to fly: yet their wings were pulled off by the Persians, and they went on their feet, and were made like other men, which is meant here by man's heart. |

Lamentations 4:19 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
Ezekiel 17:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
Habakkuk 1:6-8 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs. ... Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle [that] hasteth to eat.
Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Jeremiah 50:30-32 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD. ... And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

Daniel 5:18-23 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: ... But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath [is], and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Isaiah 14:13-17 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: ... [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?
Jeremiah 25:9-26 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. ... And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which [are] upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
Habakkuk 2:5-10 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: ... Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
