Sorry Booby Jo, but this has just pooped out from your post above and I will provide a point of clarification. I have picked a particular prophetic aspect of the Book of Daniel in line with what you quoted above, and that is Daniel_7:2. It seems that this verse is not what you want to find the truth about and then defend.

Yeah, it's hard to parse ambiguities. -- Was it literal, spiritual, allegorical, etc., but History provides confirmation. Thus my previous statement:

... the point was that you or I should discuss that which has been historically fulfilled, -- the sequence of world empires, and events and participants in those empires:
Deut. 18:22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him.
We certainly can follow your current train of thought for which as provided previously, -- even that aspect has an historical fulfillment which can substantiate any "literal, spiritual, allegorical, etc." premise:Deut. 18:22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him.

... understanding this passage is BEST achieved if using the 11:4 fulfillment. But that prospect is made more difficult by the "commentators" who defied the angel's instructions in 12:4 & 9, and ascribed "fulfillments" to 200BC instead of the era approximate to the 1900's.
Thanks,
