Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
greatness of the kingdom under . . . whole heaven--The power, which those several kingdoms had possessed, shall all be conferred on Messiah's kingdom. "Under . . . heaven" shows it is a kingdom on earth, not in heaven.
people of . . . saints of . . . Most High--"the people of the saints," or "holy ones" (Dan 8:24, Margin): the Jews, the people to whom the saints stand in a peculiar relation. The saints are gathered out of Jews and Gentiles, but the stock of the Church is Jewish (Rom 9:24; Rom 11:24); God's faithfulness to this election Church is thus virtually faithfulness to Israel, and a pledge of their future national blessing. Christ confirms this fact, while withholding the date (Act 1:6-7).
everlasting kingdom--If everlasting, how can the kingdom here refer to the millennial one? Answer: Daniel saw the whole time of future blessedness as one period. The clearer light of the New Testament distinguishes, in the whole period, the millennium and the time of the new heaven and new earth (compare Rev 20:4 with Rev 21:1 and Rev 22:5). Christ's kingdom is "everlasting." Not even the last judgment shall end it, but only give it a more glorious appearance, the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, with the throne of God and the Lamb in it (compare Rev 5:9-10; Rev 11:15). |

everlasting kingdom
See (Sa2 7:16); (Psa 89:35-37); (Dan 4:3); (Dan 7:13); (Dan 7:14); (Luk 1:31-33). |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The kingdom and dominion - The people of the saints of the Most High, or the people who are the supereminent saints, shall have the kingdom. Whatever name they may be distinguished by among men, these are the people, and theirs is the Church, that no lapse of time shall injure, and no power be able to destroy; but shall last as long as time shall endure. |
15 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] sounded [4537]; and [2532] there were [1096] great [3173] voices [5456] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], The kingdoms [932] of this world [2889] are become [1096] the kingdoms of our [2257] Lord [2962], and [2532] of his [846] Christ [5547]; and [2532] he shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
9 And [2532] they sung [103] a new [2537] song [5603], saying [3004], Thou art [1488] worthy [514] to take [2983] the book [975], and [2532] to open [455] the seals [4973] thereof [846]: for [3754] thou wast slain [4969], and [2532] hast redeemed [59] us [2248] to God [2316] by [1722] thy [4675] blood [129] out of [1537] every [3956] kindred [5443], and [2532] tongue [1100], and [2532] people [2992], and [2532] nation [1484];
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
5 And [2532] there shall be [2071] no [3756] night [3571] there [1563]; and [2532] they need [5532] no [3756] candle [3088] [2192], neither [2532] light [5457] of the sun [2246]; for [3754] the Lord [2962] God [2316] giveth [5461] them [846] light [5461]: and [2532] they shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
1 And [2532] I saw [1492] a new [2537] heaven [3772] and [2532] a new [2537] earth [1093]: for [1063] the first [4413] heaven [3772] and [2532] the first [4413] earth [1093] were passed away [3928]; and [2532] there was [2076] no [3756] more [2089] sea [2281].
4 And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
6 When [3303] they therefore [3767] were come together [4905], they asked [1905] of him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], [1487] wilt thou [600] at [1722] this [5129] time [5550] restore again [600] the kingdom [932] to Israel [2474]?
7 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], It is [2076] not [3756] for you [5216] to know [1097] the times [5550] or [2228] the seasons [2540], which [3739] the Father [3962] hath put [5087] in [1722] his own [2398] power [1849].
24 For [1063] if [1487] thou [4771] wert cut [1581] out of [1537] the olive tree which is wild [65] by [2596] nature [5449], and [2532] wert graffed [1461] contrary to [3844] nature [5449] into [1519] a good olive tree [2565]: how much [4214] more [3123] shall these [3778], which be the natural [2596] [5449] branches, be graffed into [1461] their own [2398] olive tree [1636]?
24 [3739] Even [2532] us [2248], whom [3739] he hath called [2564], not [3756] of [1537] the Jews [2453] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] of [1537] the Gentiles [1484]?
24 And his power [03581] shall be mighty [06105], but not by his own power [03581]: and he shall destroy [07843] wonderfully [06381], and shall prosper [06743], and practise [06213], and shall destroy [07843] the mighty [06099] and the holy [06918] people [05971].
31 And [2532], behold [2400], thou shalt conceive [4815] in [1722] thy womb [1064], and [2532] bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] shalt call [2564] his [846] name [3686] JESUS [2424].
32 He [3778] shall be [2071] great [3173], and [2532] shall be called [2564] the Son [5207] of the Highest [5310]: and [2532] the Lord [2962] God [2316] shall give [1325] unto him [846] the throne [2362] of his [846] father [3962] David [1138]:
33 And [2532] he shall reign [936] over [1909] the house [3624] of Jacob [2384] for [1519] ever [165]; and [2532] of his [846] kingdom [932] there shall be [2071] no [3756] end [5056].
14 And there was given [03052] him dominion [07985], and glory [03367], and a kingdom [04437], that all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], should serve [06399] him: his dominion [07985] is an everlasting [05957] dominion [07985], which shall not [03809] pass away [05709], and his kingdom [04437] that which shall not [03809] be destroyed [02255].
13 I saw [01934] [02370] in the night [03916] visions [02376], and, behold [0718], one like the Son [01247] of man [0606] came [0858] with [05974] the clouds [06050] of heaven [08065], and came [04291] to [05705] the Ancient [06268] of days [03118], and they brought him near [07127] before [06925] him.
3 How [04101] great [07260] are his signs [0852]! and how [04101] mighty [08624] are his wonders [08540]! his kingdom [04437] is an everlasting [05957] kingdom [04437], and his dominion [07985] is from [05974] generation [01859] to generation [01859].
35 Once [0259] have I sworn [07650] by my holiness [06944] that I will not lie [03576] unto David [01732].
36 His seed [02233] shall endure for ever [05769], and his throne [03678] as the sun [08121] before me.
37 It shall be established [03559] for ever [05769] as the moon [03394], and as a faithful [0539] witness [05707] in heaven [07834]. Selah [05542].
16 And thine house [01004] and thy kingdom [04467] shall be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769] before [06440] thee: thy throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] ever [05769].
