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 E foi-lhe dado domínio, e glória, e um reino, para que todos os povos, nações e línguas o servissem; o seu domínio é um domínio eterno, que não passará, e o seu reino tal, que não será destruído.

15 Quanto a mim, Daniel, o meu espírito foi abatido dentro do corpo, e as visões da minha cabeça me perturbavam.

16 Cheguei-me a um dos que estavam perto, e perguntei-lhe a verdadeira significação de tudo isso. Ele me respondeu e me fez saber a interpretação das coisas.

17 Estes grandes animais, que são quatro, são quatro reis, que se levantarão da terra.

18 Mas os santos do Altíssimo receberão o reino e o possuirão para todo o sempre, sim, para todo o sempre.
