In the explanation Daniel is told that this depicts the saints of the most high God, not God the Son.

However, the Son of God is Jesus in this text and stands just in the same position as the Lamb in
Rev 5. It is
vicarious standing and obtaining of dominion. Both accounts show Christ's taking of something associated with dominion and the saints having the same provision. The reason the saints are mentioned is because Christ stood as High Priest in place of the saints.
Gordon Magee, in his famous debate with Toddy, tries to say this was not Jesus in
Daniel 7. I strongly disagree. It is Jesus as much as
Rev 5's Lamb is Jesus.
