Charles Ellicott Commentary Daniel 7:11

"I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire." — Daniel 7:11 (ASV)

Because of... — The blasphemy uttered by the little horn was the cause of the judgment, and as such, it attracted Daniel’s attention. We might have expected that the crowning scene of this vision would have been the uprooting of the little horn and its complete destruction, but it appears that the blaspheming spirit that inspired it issued from the fourth monster, which was slain and burned.

Burning flame — Such is the doctrine of final retribution, as revealed to Daniel. (Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10).
