Daniel 7:27

of the kingdoms under the whole heaven not merely the kingdom ruled by the -little horn," but all the kingdoms of the earth, will be given then to the saints of the Most High. -Under the whole heaven," as Deuteronomy 2:25; Deuteronomy 4:19; cf. Job 28:24; Job 37:3; Job 41:11.

its kingdom is, &c., … shall serve and obey it] The pronouns, as the context shews, must refer to -people," not to -the Most High." In this verse, even more distinctly than in Daniel 7:18; Daniel 7:22, the universal and never-ending dominion, which in Daniel 7:14 is given to the -one like unto a son of man," seems to be conferred upon the people of the saints. For the same idea, adapted to a N.T. standpoint, cf. Revelation 5:10 b, Revelation 11:15; Revelation 12:10; Revelation 22:5; also Revelation 20:4; Revelation 20:6.
