Daniel 7:11I saw at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke; I saw even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
The setting
Babylon, ~553 BC. Daniel watches the 'little horn' (representing ultimate evil empire) finally destroyed. This vision spans from Babylon to the end times...
The emotion here: relieved to finally see evil punished after years of watching it prosper
The original word
qerenā' (קַרְנָא) — horn, symbol of power and authority, but here representing arrogant blasphemy
Why it matters
The 'great words' refers to blasphemous boasting against God — Daniel lived under Nebuchadnezzar who demanded worship
Read with care
What most readers miss in Daniel 7:11
The beast is destroyed BECAUSE of its 'great words' — God judges arrogance and blasphemy, not just actions
Common misconceptionPeople think this is just about ancient Babylon, but Daniel saw patterns of evil that repeat throughout history until the final judgment.
