Daniel 7:22

Until the Ancient of days came ,.... Not locally, by change of place, he being the omnipresent God; but in a providential way, to check and put a stop to the power and prevalency of the little horn over the saints; for this is the terminus or end of that; which puts a period to it; for when the Ancient of days comes in the exertion of his power and providence, he will come and sit as a Judge upon this little horn or antichrist, and judge, and condemn, and punish it; see Daniel 7:9 ,

and judgment was given to the saints of the most High ; their characters vindicated from all calumny and false aspersions; their adversaries condemned and punished; and power, dominion, and authority, given to them with Christ; see Daniel 7:27 ,

and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom ; See Gill on Daniel 7:18 ; till which time the little horn or antichrist will reign and rage, and prevail over the saints, but no longer.
