Daniel 7:18

“But the saints of the most High, etc.] Or, “of the most high Ones”f292, Father, Son, and Spirit, separated by God the Father in election, and in that sense his servants, or sanctified ones, (<650101>Jude 1:1), and redeemed by the Son, and sanctified with his blood, or their sins atoned by it, and to whom he is made sanctification, and so his saints, (<581312>Hebrews 13:12 <460130>1 Corinthians 1:30) and sanctified by the Spirit, who in conversion implants principles of grace and holiness in them, (<460611>1 Corinthians 6:11), or, “the saints of high”f293, places or things; who are born from above, and are called with a high and heavenly calling, towards which they are pressing, reckoning…”

“the Most High--the emphatic title of God in this prophecy, who delegates His power first to Israel; then to the Gentiles (Dan 2:37-38) when Israel fails to realize the idea of the theocracy; lastly, to Messiah, who shall rule truly for God, taking it from the Gentile world powers, whose history is one of continual degeneracy culminating in the last of the kings, Antichrist. Here, in the interpretation, "the saints," but in the vision (Dan 7:13-14), "the Son of man," takes the kingdom; for Christ and His people are one in suffering, and one in glory.

Everything before was preparatory and subordinate to this, and to this all things tended. The phrase rendered the Most High - in the margin “high ones, i. e., things or places” - עליונין ‛eleyônı̂yn - is in the plural number, and means literally high ones; but there can be no doubt that it refers here to God, and is given to Him as the word אלהים 'ĕlohı̂ym is (Genesis 1:1, et…”

“But the saints - Jesus Christ being their king, they shall reign with him, and possess the kingdom for ever. Daniel 7:24”

“7:18 The holy people (also in 7:21-22, 25, 27) are people who belong exclusively to God and share his character. In Daniel’s era it referred to the people of Israel. • Only the Most High God can declare what the end of history will be. Other ancient writers spoke of the ages or eras of earthly history, but none knew how it would all end.”
