Daniel 7:11
ESV “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.
NIV Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
NASB Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was killed, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire.
CSB "I watched, then, because of the sound of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued watching, the beast was killed and its body destroyed and given over to the burning fire.
NLT I continued to watch because I could hear the little horn’s boastful speech. I kept watching until the fourth beast was killed and its body was destroyed by fire.
KJV I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

What does Daniel 7:11 mean?

This directly associates the judgment previously mentioned (Daniel 7:10) with blasphemy. These corrupt words (Daniel 7:20, 25) were spoken by the "little horn" which came from the fourth beast (Daniel 7:3–7) in Daniel's vision (Daniel 7:1). Daniel sees this fourth beast incinerated. The others are spared, temporarily, to continue their allotted, limited time on earth (Daniel 7:12).

Some interpreters suggest this part of prophecy was fulfilled when the Greek ruler Antiochus Epiphanes was killed in battle in 164 BC. Others look to the collapse of the Roman Empire in AD 476. In our view, this part of Daniel more likely points to the judgment recorded in Revelation 19:20. There, the beast and false prophet are thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. This judgment will mark the end of the times of the Gentiles that began with Nebuchadnezzar. To be sure, no human being or nation is so strong that God cannot dispose of him or it in an instant. Men and nations may grow strong, but God is eternally omnipotent.
