Daniel 8:24

not by his own power. We are not told here who is the giver of the power, but we are not left in ignorance. Revelation 13:2 , and 2 Thessalonians 2:9 , 2 Thessalonians 2:10 , are clear on this point.

mighty = mighty ones.

holy People = People of the holy ones. These are "the holy ones of the Most High" (Daniel 7:18 , Daniel 7:22 ).
