The Times and the Law.—Some are perplexed over the word "times" in Dan. 7:25. The little-horn power thinks to change times and law. "The times and the law" the American Standard Revision reads. Other translations read, "The appointed times and the law," that is, the times ap-pointed of God and the law of God. The word "times" is translated from zeman, defined by Strong "an appointed occasion, times." It comes from zaman, "to fix," rendered "appoint." Every instance where it occurs in Scripture is as follows: rendered "season" in Eccl. 3:1; Dan. 2:21; 7:12; rendered "time," Ezra 5:8; Neh. 2:6; Esther 9:27, 31; Dan. 2:16; 6:10, 13; 7:25. It will be seen from its use in these texts that it has no definite reference to feast, but definite times appointed by either man or God. In Dan. 7:25 it refers to times appointed of God that apostasy could only "think" to change. The two earliest appointed times of God are the day and its place in the week.
