Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 7:25

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand, until a time and times and the dividing of time .

The numbers of Daniel and Iohn seem to agree. Daniel was certainly prophetical in these things, and his prophesie reacheth to the end of times, even of Antichrists Reign. I will not deny but Antiochus might be a Type and fore-runner of Antichrist, and did many things against the Iewish Church, with Craft, Cruelty and Blasphemy: but he was no part of the fourth, but of the third Beast; whereas Daniel here points mainly at the Roman Power and Persecution, especially by the little Horn, which lasted to his ruine; after which it is clear the Lord Christ will Reign in and over his Saints much more gloriously, which the Iews will never be beaten from, because there are so many signal places in the Prophets speaking of it, yet unfulfilled, and in the Apocalypse to the wise Reader, after the Beast and Whore are destroyed with all their supporters. But enough of that at present.
