^{page 128 note 4} Bentzen, A., Das Buch Daniel (H.A.T. 1937), in loc., explains the meaning as ‘appears in the clouds’.Google ScholarYoung, E. J., Prophecy of Daniel (1949), p. 154, interprets ‘with’ as ‘on’ or ‘in’, and quotes Keil ‘surrounded by clouds’. Rowley, op. cit. p. 62 n. 1, says that the variants in N.T. and early quotations leave the question as to which is original ‘entirely open’. The point is rather that all variants are possible translations of DY as used in Daniel.Google Scholar

Beasley-Murray, Commentary on Mark Thirteen (1957), p. 91, in claiming that the scene of Dan. vii is on earth, and that in v. 22 the Ancient of Days comes down to earth, appears to mistake the essential nature of apocalyptic visions as the unveiling of the celestial world.Google Scholar

T., Jesus and his Coming (1957), p. 134, in saying that ‘the symbolism of the language of the clouds is the same’ (at the Transfiguration) ‘as in the scene of Dan. vii. 13’, fails to observe a necessary distinction. The cloud chariot which carried up to heaven the two witnesses in Rev. xi. 12, and Jesus at the Ascension (Acts i. 11, cf. Luke ix. 31), has its antecedents in the assumption of Enoch (Enoch xiv. 8) and ultimately in that of Elijah (II Kings ii. 1–12), rather than in the celestial clouds of Dan. vii. 13.Google Scholar

^{page 131 note 8} Robinson, op. cit. p. 55, holds that Jesus thought of his role as that of the one who accuses or pleads before the throne, and that his designation as judge in virtue of the Resurrection was a later development in the thought of the Church. The influence of the Messianic application of Ps. ii may be seen here.Google Scholar
