Daniel 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 7:14

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom,
&c.] That is, a large, powerful, and glorious kingdom; not but that he had a kingdom before, but now it will be more extensive, and appear in greater glory: this will be fulfilled when the kingdoms of this world shall become his, and all nations shall serve and worship him, ( Revelation 11:15 ) ( Revelation 15:3 Revelation 15:4 ) , as follows: that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him;
embrace his Gospel, submit to his ordinances serve and worship him in every religious duty; every people, of all nations, and of every language under heaven; which will be the case when the everlasting Gospel will be preached to them all with success, ( Revelation 14:6 ) ( Psalms 72:11 ) : his dominion is an everlasting dominion;
it shall never have an end, as the rest of the monarchies, signified by the four beasts, have had, or will have; see ( Psalms 14:6 ) ( Isaiah 9:7 ) : which shall not pass away;
or be removed from one to another, like the above monarchies: and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed;
or "corrupted" ^F26 abolished and brought to nothing, as the said monarchies were one by another; and, at last, all of them by the stone cut out of the mountain; see ( Daniel 2:44 ) .

Daniel 7:14 In-Context

12 And I saw that the power of (the) other beasts was taken away, and the times of life were ordained to them, till to time and time.

13 Therefore I beheld in the vision of (the) night, and lo! (one) as a son of man came with the clouds of heaven; and he came fully till to the Eld of days, and in the sight of him they offered him. (And so I watched in the vision of the night, and lo! one like the son of a man/one like the Son of man came with the clouds of the heavens; and he came unto the Old, or the Ancient, of Days, and was presented to him.)

14 And he gave to him power, and honour, and realm, and all the peoples, lineages, and languages shall serve him; his power is everlasting power, that shall not be taken away, and his realm, that shall not be corrupted. (And he gave to him power, and honour, and kingdom, so that all the peoples, and tribes, or nations, of every language, would serve him; his power is everlasting power, that shall never be taken away, and his kingdom shall never be corrupted, or shall never end.)

15 My spirit had horror, either hideousness; I, Daniel, was afeared in these things, and the sights of mine head disturbed me. (My spirit felt horror, or terror; and I, Daniel, was afraid of these things, and the sights in my head disturbed me.)

16 I nighed to one of the standers nigh, and I asked of him the truth of all these things. And he said to me the interpreting of these words, and he taught me (And he told me the interpretation of these things, and he taught me).
