Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: (Matthew 25:34)
God’s original plan for this world, temporarily interrupted by the entrance of sin, will eventually succeed, and His will be supreme on this earth as it is in heaven (see on ch. 6:10). Compare Luke 12:32.
To inherit is to enter into possession of property. Man was originally appointed king of this world (Gen. 1:28), but lost his dominion as a result of sin. Daniel looked forward to the time when the saints would once more inherit the eternal kingdom originally planned for them (Dan. 7:27).
To be “blessed” is to be “happy” (see on ch. 5:3). Those whom God makes “happy” are happy indeed! At His “right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16:11).
The King.
Here clearly the “Son of man” of v. 31. See on v. 31.
