- How is the structure of Daniel 7 different from those which preceded it — from the very beginning?
- If the “little horn” was Antiochus, then in Daniel 7:11-12, what is the destiny of Antiochus?
- How does the dream/vision end in Daniel 7:13-14?
- Is there any identification of the “one like a human being?” Might it be an angel; a king “whose line would continue to rule forever?”
- To whom does Daniel turn for an explanation of his dream (Daniel 7:16)?
- In Daniel 7:27, is the prediction that “the people of the holy ones of the Most High — presumably the Jews — will presently have “kingship, dominion and grandeur?”
- As speculation, if the concluding refrain had to do with a positive outcome for the Jews why, then, was Daniel “very alarmed by my thoughts?”
