What Does Daniel 7:19 Mean?
Daniel presses for more. He wants the truth about the fourth beast in particular -- the one different from all the rest, exceedingly dreadful, with iron teeth and now bronze claws, devouring and crushing and trampling whatever it could not consume. This most fearsome power demands a fuller answer.
It is the worst that troubles us most, and Daniel does not look away from it. His longing to know the truth of this terror is the longing of every believer who watches cruelty seem to triumph and asks God to make sense of it. He brings the very thing that frightens him into the light of heaven's explanation. The Lord will answer, for He does not hide from His people the end of even the most dreadful power.
