Daniel 7
1. Daniel's vision of the four beasts,
9. and of God's kingdom.
15. The interpretation thereof.














Then the sovereignty
The word "sovereignty" refers to supreme power or authority. In the context of Daniel, it signifies the ultimate authority that God will bestow upon His people. The Hebrew root for sovereignty is "malku," which denotes kingship or royal power. This reflects the biblical theme that God is the ultimate ruler, and His authority surpasses all earthly powers. Historically, this is a promise of hope to the Israelites, who were often under foreign dominion, assuring them of a future where God's people will reign with Him.

dominion
"Dominion" implies control or the exercise of authority over a realm. The Hebrew word "sholtan" is used here, emphasizing the extent and reach of the power that will be granted. This term is significant in the biblical narrative, as it contrasts the temporary and often oppressive dominion of earthly kingdoms with the just and eternal dominion of God's kingdom. It reassures believers that God's ultimate plan involves His people sharing in His righteous rule.

and greatness of the kingdoms
The "greatness of the kingdoms" suggests the splendor and majesty that characterize these realms. The Hebrew word "rab" conveys abundance and magnitude. This phrase indicates that the future kingdom of God will surpass all previous kingdoms in glory and power. Historically, this would have been a profound encouragement to the Jewish people, who had witnessed the rise and fall of many empires, reminding them that God's kingdom will be unparalleled.

under all of heaven
This phrase emphasizes the universality of God's kingdom. The Hebrew expression "tachath kol shamayim" indicates that this dominion will encompass the entire earth. It reflects the biblical vision of God's reign extending over all creation, not limited by geographical or political boundaries. This universal scope is a recurring theme in prophetic literature, highlighting the inclusivity and comprehensive nature of God's ultimate plan.

will be given to the people
The phrase "will be given" underscores the gracious and sovereign act of God in bestowing this authority. The Hebrew verb "yehib" suggests a deliberate and generous act of giving. This indicates that the dominion is not something earned by human effort but is a divine gift. It reflects the biblical principle of grace, where God empowers His people to share in His rule.

the saints of the Most High
"Saints" refers to those set apart for God's purposes. The Hebrew term "qaddish" denotes holiness and consecration. The "Most High" is a title for God, emphasizing His supreme authority and transcendence. This phrase identifies the recipients of the kingdom as those who are faithful to God, highlighting the intimate relationship between God and His people. It reassures believers of their identity and destiny in God's plan.

His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom
The "everlasting kingdom" signifies a realm that will endure forever. The Hebrew word "alam" conveys perpetuity and timelessness. This contrasts with the temporary nature of earthly kingdoms, affirming the eternal nature of God's reign. It provides hope and assurance to believers that God's kingdom will never be overthrown or diminished.

and all rulers will serve and obey Him
This phrase indicates the submission of all earthly authorities to God's rule. The Hebrew words "pelach" (serve) and "shema" (obey) suggest worship and adherence to God's commands. It envisions a future where all leaders recognize and honor God's sovereignty. This reflects the biblical hope for a world where justice and righteousness prevail under God's perfect governance.
