What Does Daniel 7:18 Mean?
A great but turns the whole vision toward hope. After four earth-born kingdoms rise and fall, the saints of the Most High receive the kingdom and possess it forever, even for ever and ever. The dominion given to the Son of man is shared with His people, the holy ones who belong to God.
This is the astonishing promise: the faithful who suffer under the beasts are not merely rescued -- they inherit the everlasting kingdom alongside their King. The repetition, for ever and ever, presses the point home against every fear that evil might win. What the proud horn grasps for a moment, the humble saints receive without end. To belong to the Most High is to belong to the only kingdom that lasts.
