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 ) .
