What Does Daniel 7:22 Mean?
The sentence finished in the previous verse now lands on its great until. The horn prevails only until the Ancient of days comes, and judgment is rendered in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the appointed time arrives for them to possess the kingdom. The tide turns completely when God takes His seat.
Everything hangs on that word until. The suffering of the faithful is bounded by the coming of God Himself, who turns the verdict and gives the kingdom to His own. This is the pattern of all redemption: what looked like defeat is overturned when the morning comes. The saints do not win by their own strength; they wait, and the Ancient of days arrives, and what was lost is more than restored.
