What Does Daniel 7:16 Mean?
Troubled by what he has seen, Daniel comes near to one of those standing by the throne and asks for the truth of it all. The attendant answers him and makes known the interpretation. The rest of the chapter unfolds as this explanation given to a prophet who simply asked.
God does not leave His people in the dark with a vision they cannot bear. Daniel models the right response to mystery: not to guess or to turn away, but to draw near and ask. And the answer comes. The same God who gives the vision gives the understanding to those who seek Him. What troubles us in part is meant to be brought to Him, who alone can tell us the truth of all this.
