In the Old Testament context, this would primarily refer to the people of Israel, but in a broader theological sense, it includes all who are faithful to God. The "Most High" is a title for God, emphasizing His supreme authority and sovereignty over all creation. This phrase indicates a special relationship between God and His people, highlighting their role in His divine plan.<p><b>will receive the kingdom</b><br>This phrase suggests a future event where the faithful will be granted authority and dominion. In the context of Daniel, this is a prophetic vision of the end times when God's kingdom will be established on earth. The idea of receiving the kingdom implies a gift or inheritance, aligning with New Testament teachings where believers are co-heirs with Christ (<a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>). This also connects to the promise of a messianic kingdom, a central theme in both Jewish and Christian eschatology.<p><b>and possess it forever</b><br>The concept of possessing the kingdom "forever" underscores the eternal nature of God's promise. Unlike earthly kingdoms, which rise and fall, the kingdom given to the saints is everlasting. This eternal possession is a fulfillment of God's covenant promises, such as those made to Abraham and David, where God assured an everlasting kingdom (<a href="/2_samuel/7-16.htm">2 Samuel 7:16</a>). It reflects the ultimate victory of God's people over evil and the establishment of divine justice.<p><b>yes, forever and ever.</b><br>The repetition of "forever and ever" emphasizes the unending duration of this kingdom. It serves to reassure the faithful of the certainty and permanence of God's promise. This eternal perspective is a common theme in apocalyptic literature, offering hope and encouragement to believers facing persecution or trials. It also points to the ultimate consummation of history, where God's reign is fully realized, and His people dwell with Him eternally, as seen in <a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3-4</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/daniel.htm">Daniel</a></b><br>A prophet and a key figure in the Old Testament, known for his faithfulness to God and his ability to interpret dreams and visions.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_saints_of_the_most_high.htm">The Saints of the Most High</a></b><br>Refers to the holy people of God, those who are set apart for His purposes.
