And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, etc.] That is, a large, powerful, and glorious kingdom; not but that he had a kingdom before, but now it will be more extensive, and appear in greater glory: this will be fulfilled when the kingdoms of this world shall become his, and all nations shall serve and worship him, (<661115>Revelation 11:15 15:3,4), as follows: that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him; embrace his Gospel, submit to his ordinances serve and worship him in every religious duty; every people, of all nations, and of every language under heaven; which will be the case when the everlasting Gospel will be preached to them all with success, (<661406>Revelation 14:6 <197211>Psalm 72:11): his dominion is an everlasting dominion; it shall never have an end, as the rest of the monarchies, signified by the four beasts, have had, or will have; (see <191406>Psalm 14:6 <230907>Isaiah 9:7): which shall not pass away; or be removed from one to another, like the above monarchies: and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; or “corrupted”f288 abolished and brought to nothing, as the said monarchies were one by another; and, at last, all of them by the stone cut out of the mountain; (see <270244> Daniel 2:44).
