Daniel 7:9-10 - A parenthetical portion of Chapter 7 emerges as Daniel's vision suddenly shifts to a heavenly perspective. Even as he sees the future rise of the final antichrist, Daniel also observes the preparations for judgment which are underway in the courts of heaven. These heavenly elements underscore the importance of the prophetic Scriptures, for they show a fuller picture of Jesus Christ, underscoring the truth that "....the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Rev. 19:10).
