John Gill Commentary Daniel 7:14

"And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." — Daniel 7:14 (ASV)

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom , &c.] 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, (Revelation 11:15) (Revelation 15:3Revelation 15:4) , 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, (Revelation 14:6) (Psalms 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 (Psalms 14:6) (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" ^F26 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 (Daniel 2:44) .
