DANIEL CHAPTER 8
Daniel’s vision of the ram and he goat, Dan_8:1-12. The days of suspension of the daily sacrifice, and desolation of the sanctuary, Dan_8:13,14. Gabriel comforteth Daniel, and interpreteth the vision, Dan_8:15-27.
This follows then in time after the former. Those things that were meet for the Chaldees to know are recorded by Daniel in that tongue; but now he writes in Hebrew, which lasts to the end of the book, because these things relate to the church of Christ, Jew and Gentile, to the end of the world.
In the other vision he speaks of all the four monarchies, here only of the three first; this vision being both as a part and a comment upon the first.
