Daniel 7:22

Daniel 7:22

20 and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke¹ pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.

21 “I was watching; ^aand the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,

22 until the Ancient of Days came, ^aand a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

23 “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
^aA fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.

24 ^aThe ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.

25 ^aHe shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall ^bpersecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall ^cintend to change times and law.
Then ^dthe saints shall be given into his hand
^eFor a time and times and half a time.

Ancient of days came—The title applied to the Father in Daniel 7:13 is here applied to the Son; who is called "the everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6). The Father is never said to "come"; it is the Son who comes.

judgment was given to . . . saints—Judgment includes rule; "kingdom" in the end of this verse (I Corinthians 6:2; Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10; Revelation 20:4). Christ first receives "judgment" and the "kingdom," then the saints with Him (Daniel 7:13-14).
