, or that the two chapters are the work of different authors, is altogether unreasonable. We have no right to expect in an apocalyptic writing that strict consistency which we naturally demand of a historian. We must also make allowance for the different frame-work of the two chapters. Chap. Ii. Describes a revela- tion sent to Nebuchadnezzar (see vv. 29, 30, 45), whereas chap. CHAP. VII. 115 vii. Is a revelation sent to Daniel, the representative of the true Israel. Hence it is only in the sec...ond case that the sufferings of the Saints in the last days can be appropriately mentioned 1 . We may therefore assume, with the great majority of modern interpreters, that the Empires in chap, vii. , as in chap, ii. , are (1) the Babylonian, (2) the Median, (3) the Persian, (4) the Greek or Macedonian. It is also clear that the " little horn" is Antiochus Epiphanes. This was distinctly recognized by Porphyry, and must also have been known to the Jews of the 4th century after Christ, since it is the interpretation given by Ephraim Syrus, who was quite incapable of inventing it.
