bullet"Because Abraham was appointed heir of all the world, Ro 4:13, and in him all the faithful, therefore the kingdom of him is theirs by right, which these four beasts or tyrants would invade, and usurp until the world were restored by Christ. And this was to strengthen and encourage those that were in troubles, that their afflictions would eventually have an end."

bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"A son of man - That is, the Messiah, he came with the clouds of heaven, gloriously, swiftly and terribly. And came - This relates to his ascension, at which time, he received his royal investiture, for the protection of his church, and curbing of their enemies."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).

bullet"Second-Last Pentecost B - Exegetical Notes on Daniel 7:9-10" Douglas MacCallum Lindsay Judisch, Concordia Theological Seminary (LCMS - Indiana).
bullet"The saints of God too, however, are predicted to participate in the judging of faithless men and devils (1 Corinthians 6: 2-3). Here in Daniel 7 itself they receive "kingship and dominion" in a collective and derivative way by virtue of association with the King of Kings (verse 27)."
bullet"Last Pentecost, Fulfillment B - Exegetical Notes on Daniel 7:13-14" Douglas MacCallum Lindsay Judisch, Concordia Theological Seminary (LCMS - Indiana).
bullet"The idea is, then, that people drawn from all the ethnic and political and linguistic units on earth "serve" the Son of Man as His vice-regents "beneath the whole of the heavens" (as verse 27 says, where plch reappears in the same form as in 14). The "saints of the Most High" receive kingship only by delegation from the Son of Man, even as they are "holy ones" only by the imputation His holiness."
bulletDaniel 7:1-3, 15-18: Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), All Saints C, Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
