Daniel 7:14

'You gave him authority over all flesh' (v2) reprises the one like a son of man to whom 'was given dominion... that all peoples should serve him.' High Volume in the verbal pairing of given-authority + universal scope; Recurrence is strong since Johannine and Synoptic Son of Man material draws steadily on Dan 7. Coherent with John's glorification-by-exaltation logic.

'With great power and glory' renders the gift to the son of man of 'dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples should serve him.' Mark fuses 7:13's coming-on-clouds with 7:14's enthronement glory, so the Son of Man's parousia carries the universal dominion of Daniel's vision.

The Great Commission is built on the enthronement of the one like a son of man: 'to him was given dominion (authority) and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him.' Matthew's 'all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me' + 'make disciples of all nations' transposes the Danielic grant of universal, everlasting authority to the risen Jesus.

The one like a son of man is given an everlasting 'kingdom... that shall not pass away'; Rev's 'the kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord... He will reign forever and ever' realizes this Danielic everlasting dominion. Strong coherence with Rev's enthronement theology. LXX basileia aionios.

'The Father had given all things into his hands' echoes the giving of universal dominion to the one like a son of man. The handing-over language coheres with John's repeated Son-of-Man glorification motif and prepares for 13:31. Coherence is strong though the wording is general.

'There will be no end to his Kingdom' resonates with the Son of Man's 'everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed' (Daniel 7:14). The everlasting, indestructible kingdom motif coheres with the Danielic frame already established by Gabriel.

Jesus' promise that some standing here will see 'the Kingdom of God come with power' draws on Daniel's vision of dominion, glory, and an everlasting kingdom given to the one like a son of man. The conjunction of kingdom and divine power coheres with Daniel's eschatological enthronement scene. Recurrence of Danielic son-of-man and kingdom language throughout Mark strengthens the allusion.

James and John request seats 'in your glory,' echoing the dominion and glory given to the son of man, while the right-and-left thrones evoke enthronement in the Danielic kingdom. The petition presupposes the Son of Man's coming glory. Coherence with the Daniel 7 background of Mark's Son of Man title supports the link.

The mandate that the good news be proclaimed 'to all the nations' echoes the dominion given to the one like a son of man, that 'all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him.' Since Mark 13:26 explicitly invokes Daniel 7:13, the universal-nations note here likely draws on the same vision's worldwide scope.

The 'power and great glory' and the gathering of all peoples reflects Daniel 7:14, where the son of man receives dominion, glory, and a kingdom that all peoples should serve.

'Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation' parodies the Son of Man's dominion: 'all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him' (Dan 7:14, panta ta ethne, phylai, glossai). Beast usurps the Son of Man's universal rule.

‘Heir of all things’ and the universal, unending dominion granted the one ‘like a son of man’ (Dan 7:14) share thematic coherence with the Son's inheritance and session. Faint, contested — no verbal volume — but a stock messianic substrate scholars note behind the exaltation language.

Hays: medium — the fourfold 'every tribe, language, people, and nation' echoes Daniel's recurrent 'peoples, nations, and languages' (Dan 3:4; 5:19; 7:14), and the granting of an everlasting 'kingdom' to the son of man undergirds 'made us... and we will reign on the earth.' Daniel 7 supplies both the universal-peoples formula and the kingdom-to-the-saints theme (Dan 7:27).

Hays: medium — the ascription of 'the dominion, forever and ever' to the one on the throne and the Lamb echoes Daniel's grant of everlasting 'dominion' and 'glory' to the son of man. Pairs with Dan 7:10 in 5:11; the same chapter supplies both the angelic myriads and the eternal dominion that frame the doxology's climax.

"all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him" (Aram./Theod. laoi, phylai, glossai) — Daniel's stereotyped fourfold list of the nations is the template for John's recurrent "every nation, tribe, people, and language" formula (cf. Rev 5:9; 13:7). The multitude drawn from all peoples fulfills Daniel's universal dominion of the Son of Man. Recurrence in Revelation strengthens the link.

Dominion given so that 'all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him' — directly behind 'every nation, tribe, language, and people.' Recurrent Danielic fourfold formula in Rev (5:9; 7:9; 13:7).

'All peoples, nations, and languages should serve him' — the stock Danielic fourfold (peoples/nations/languages) underlies 'peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.' Hays: distinctive fourfold list, recurrence at Rev 5:9; 7:9; 13:7. Theodotion Dan 7:14.

'Given all things into his hand' resonates with the Son of Man given dominion and all peoples serving him; faint, draws on the Danielic enthronement already present at 3:13-14.

The everlasting dominion given to the one like a son of man, that all should serve him, frames 'I have overcome the world' as the Son of Man's universal triumph over the nations. The cosmic victory coheres with Johannine exaltation, though the link is thematic.

The devil's offer of 'all the kingdoms of the world... all this authority and their glory' contrasts with the authority, glory, and kingdom rightly given to the one like a son of man in Daniel 7:14. Contested and faint; the irony works only if the Danielic gift of dominion is in view.

The everlasting dominion given to the one like a son of man frames the kingdom expectation in view; the link is conceptual, anticipating the Son-of-Man material that immediately follows, so it is low here.

Universal dominion over 'all peoples, nations' given to the Son of Man — the legitimate eschatological kingship the devil offers as a shortcut without the cross. Faint, thematic.

'all peoples, nations, and languages' is Daniel's fourfold/threefold universal formula, recurring in Rev's 'many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.' Rev's list is a Danielic idiom though not from this verse alone.

The 'peoples' (laoi) who serve in the everlasting kingdom may color the plural in v.3; faint and contested.

Jesus' kingship 'not of this world,' a dominion not delivered by force, enacts the everlasting, non-earthly kingdom given to the one like a son of man. John's royal trial coheres with Daniel's vision of a heaven-bestowed, indestructible reign that 'shall not pass away,' giving the figural Son-of-Man kingship high Coherence with Johannine Christology.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father figurally aligns with the Son of Man to whom dominion and authority are given. The handing-over-of-all coherence is real but the saying lacks distinctive Danielic vocabulary, so it is a low-confidence figural reading.
