• It will be remarked that there are really two interpretations (a general one in verses 17-18, and then a more specific one in verses 23-27) in reply to Daniel’s interrogation concerning the fourth beast. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)

• In verse 3 these kings, the beasts, are said to come up from the sea, whereas here they are described as arising out of the earth. In the former passage they are viewed, on the occasion of their appearance and of their acquisition of governmental power, ascending their thrones out of the surging waves of the people; in this verse they are seen rather in their origin, “out of the earth,” in contrast with Him who will come out of heaven to take His kingly power. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)
