Daniel 7:16

one of them that were standing (there)] One of the angels that -stood" before the Almighty (Daniel 7:10), who happened to be nearer than the others to Daniel himself. For the part of interpreter taken by an angel in a vision, cf. Zechariah 1:7 to Zechariah 6:8 passim; and the Apocalypses of Enoch and 2 Esdras. It is characteristic of the later prophecies: in the visions of the earlier prophets (as Amos 7:8; Isaiah 6; Jeremiah 1, Ezekiel 2-5, Ezekiel 2:8; Ezekiel 2:9, &c.), Jehovah speaks Himself to the prophet. We have the transition in Ezekiel 40-48, where an angel conducts the prophet, and usually explains things to him (Ezekiel 40:3-4, &c.), though sometimes Jehovah also speaks Himself (Ezekiel 43:7-9; Ezekiel 44:2; Ezekiel 44:5, &c.).
