Daniel 7:13-14
Summary for Dan 7:13-14: 7:13-14 a This being like a son of man, unlike the arrogant little horn, did not boast and was not violent. He did not violently overthrow other kings, and he received God’s favor and blessing. He was led into God’s presence and was presented to him. God gave him kingship and a kingdom. This figure is the Messiah, God’s chosen and anointed King. 7:13 b like a son of man: He was like a human being (cp. 3:25 c).• His coming with the clouds of heaven suggests that he was a divine being (cp. Pss 68:4 d; 97:2 e; Matt 24:30 f; 26:64 g; Mark 13:26 h; 14:62 i; Luke 21:27 j; 1 Thes 4:17 k; Rev 1:7 l).
7:14 m Unlike the rulers and kingdoms of the earth, which pass away, his rule is eternal and will never be destroyed. His kingdom is given to the holy people of the Most High (7:27 n), and it “fills” the earth (2:35 o, 44-45 p).
