Dan 7:18, 27 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 18. But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom ] I doubt whether this be the true sense of the original Chaldee , vikabbelun malcutha kaddishey elyonin , "But the supreme holy ones shall receive the kingdom;" or, "they shall receive the kingdom of the supreme saints." Properly translated by Montanus , Et suscipient regnum sanctorum altissimorum. Whatever we may think of the patriarchs and the Jews in their best times, there has never been so much holiness of heart possessed , and so much righteousness practised , as by the genuine disciples of Christ. Christianity alone has provided a full redemption for man. They are the chief saints , and to them God gives the kingdom: and this Gospel dispensation, called often the kingdom of God, and the kingdom of heaven , shall last for ever, during the whole lapse of time; and for ever and ever -throughout eternity, shall they and its blessings endure.

Verse 27. 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.
