until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.

Commenting on Daniel 7:15-28
The Ancient of Days comes not by change of place but in providential power, checking the little horn's prevalence over the saints. When He sits as Judge upon antichrist, He vindicates the saints' character, condemns their adversaries, and grants them power and dominion with Christ.
