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 ) .

12 aliarum quoque bestiarum ablata esset potestas, et tempora vitae constituta essent eis usque ad tempus, et tempus.

14 Et dedit ei potestatem, et honorem, et regnum: et omnes populi, tribus, et linguae ipsi servient: potestas eius, potestas aeterna, quae non auferetur: et regnum eius, quod non corrumpetur.
15 Horruit spiritus meus, ego Daniel territus sum in his, et visiones capitis mei conturbaverunt me.
16 Accessi ad unum de assistentibus, et veritatem quaerebam ab eo de omnibus his. Qui dixit mihi interpretationem sermonum, et docuit me:
