Daniel 7:12 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The rest of the beasts — i.e., the three first beasts which Daniel had seen coming out of the sea. He now learns what had befallen them. Their dominions had passed away, and their lives had been prolonged up to that definite point and time which had seemed fit to God, and no further. The period of life allotted to them by God was only a little while. (On “times” and “seasons,” see Note on Daniel 2:21.)

Daniel 7:12

12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their livesb were prolonged for a season and time.
