Daniel Chapter 7 Vs. 18

 Daniel's Vision Interpreted

But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Dan. 7:18

But the saints... Are those who trusted God and possess the kingdom headed up by the Son of Man, the Messiah. All serve Him (in verses 14 and 27); verse 27 clarifying that the one served is actually God the most High. Just as the 4 Gentile empires have individuals as kings, so the final kingdom has Christ as King.

the most High... God is referred to in this book as above all gods, as He was for Melchizedek and Abraham as well as Naaman.

The following is a companion Scripture.

Revelation 2:26 "And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:"

It is the spoken and the written Word of God which overcomes the world. The saint’s weapon is the two-edged Sword.

Revelation 11:15 "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."

You can see from the following Scripture, just how long we reign with Him.

Revelation 22:5 "And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever."

The promise to Israel

After the destruction of the fourth beast at the Second Advent, the saints of the Most High (cf. “the Most High” at Dan. 3:26) will receive the kingdom (cf. Dan. 7:22, 7:27). The “saints” refer to the believing Jews (cf. Dan. 7:25), not to believers of the Church Age. The existence of the church in the present Age was nowhere revealed in the Old Testament. The nation Israel has been set aside by divine discipline in the present “times of the Gentiles,” which began with Nebuchadnezzar. During the “times of the Gentiles” four empires, Daniel was told, would rise and rule over the land and people of Israel. Yet God’s covenant to David (2Sam. 7:16; Psm. 89:1-4) stands and will ultimately be fulfilled. The “saints” (believing Jews when Christ returns to earth) will enjoy the kingdom, the fulfillment of God’s promise to Israel.
