Daniel 8:25

The Prince of Princes.

A Good Prince

This text calls attention to the four ancient empires, and the circumstances connected with the people of God in the various operations and doings of these empires.

I. THE PRINCE Jesus Christ, as the representative of His people, hath “power with God and with man, and hath prevailed.” He is an interposing Prince on behalf of a chosen people.

II. THE PRINCES. “The Prince of princes.” Jesus Christ has entire authority over the princes and kings of the earth. And His people, His companions are princes. They get their royal name after Him; the whole family in Heaven and earth are named after Him.

III. THE ADVERSARY. “He shall be broken without hand”; by the judgment of God independent of man (James Wells.)
