Context — Daniel’s Visions Interpreted
25He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.
26But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
27Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’

As believers, we can take comfort in knowing that God's kingdom is secure and that we will one day reign with Him. As we wait for this day, we can trust in God's sovereignty and obey Him, knowing that He is our eternal King, as stated in (Psalm 103:19).]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 7:27
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 7:27
Daniel 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.Ver. 27. And the kingdom and dominion.] When once Christ’ s foes shall be in that place which is fittest for them, viz., "under his feet."
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 7:27
(27) Comp. Daniel 7:14; Daniel 7:18.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 7:27
Verse 27. The kingdom and dominion] The people of the saints of the Most High, or the people who are the supereminent saints, shall have the kingdom. Whatever name they may be distinguished by among men, these are the people, and theirs is the Church, that no lapse of time shall injure, and no power be able to destroy; but shall last as long as time shall endure.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 7:27
27. of the kingdoms under the whole heaven] not merely the kingdom ruled by the ‘little horn,’ but all the kingdoms of the earth, will be given then to the saints of the Most High. ‘Under the whole heaven,’ as Deuteronomy 2:25; Deuteronomy 4:19; cf. Job 28:24; Job 37:3; Job 41:11. its kingdom is, &c., … shall serve and obey it] The pronouns, as the context shews, must refer to ‘people,’ not to ‘the Most High.’ In this verse, even more distinctly than in Daniel 7:18; Daniel 7:22, the universal and never-ending dominion, which in Daniel 7:14 is given to the ‘one like unto a son of man,’ seems to be conferred upon the people of the saints. For the same idea, adapted to a N.T. standpoint, cf. Revelation 5:10 b, Revelation 11:15, Revelation 12:10, Revelation 22:5; also Revelation 20:4; Revelation 20:6.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 7:27
27. The saints receive “the kingdom” because their leader has received it.
