Daniel 7:15,16 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

Daniel Is Concerned About The Meaning Of His Vision (Daniel 7:15-16).

‘As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body (literally ‘my sheath'), and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near to one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me that he would make me to know the interpretations of the things.'

Meanwhile Daniel was concerned over what he had seen, indeed greatly troubled. What could all this mean? And such was the vividness of his dream that in it he approached one of the heavenly beings to ask him what the truth was about his visions. And the heavenly being promised to give him his answer, and to interpret the dream for him.
