What Does Daniel 7:15 Mean?
The vision pauses and Daniel speaks of himself. What he has seen leaves him grieved in his spirit, troubled within. The sweep of fierce empires and fiery judgment weighs heavily on the prophet, even with the glorious ending he has glimpsed. He does not pretend the visions left him untouched.
Encountering the holiness of God and the hard truth about the world is not always comfortable; it can unsettle a faithful heart. Daniel's honesty gives permission to feel the weight of what God shows us. Yet his trouble drives him not to despair but to ask -- and in the next verses he draws near to seek understanding. Grief that turns us toward God for answers is the beginning of comfort.
