Daniel 7
ILLUSTRATION: The Union was being ripped apart at the seems in 1865 when Julia Ward visited a military encampment near Washington D.C. The camps of the Union and the Confederacy were filled the the songs of soldiers at night. Many of them made up on the spot and set to popular tunes.
One soldier said, ''music was the one thing that passed freely from the North to the South. You would hear Southern soldiers singing songs popularized by the black union soldiers, and you would even hear the occasional Union soldier whistling Dixie.''
Well it was one of the common camp tunes that Julia Ward borrowed for her poem that has become known as the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Beyond the controversies and confusions of war - Ms. Ward envisioned the unchangeable Providence of God working his will and way among mankind.
Daniel had a far more vivid vision of the same reality in Daniel 7.
CONTEXT: The 7th Chapter of Daniel is one of the least familiar chapters in the whole book. Yet it was one of the favorite chapters to reference by the NT writers. As a matter of fact there are some 80 references in the NT to Daniel 7.
Why is it so unfamiliar to us??
We know about the fiery furnace and we know about the Lion's den, but chapter 7 and following is filled with strange and bizarre images. There is a reason for that. It is written in a different genre from the first 6 chapters. The first 6 chapters are historic narrative, chapters 7-12 are in the genre of Apocalyptic literature.
Keep in mind the Bible was penned by 40 different authors writing over a period of 1,600 years penned the 66 books of the Bible 39 books of the Old Testament ...
