What Does Daniel 7:26 Mean?
Against the persecuting power comes the decisive but: the judgment shall sit. The heavenly court convenes, and the king's dominion is taken away, consumed and destroyed to the very end. What the boastful horn seized is stripped from him by the verdict of God, finally and forever.
This is the answer to every how long. The proud king's reign ends not in a stalemate but in the courtroom of heaven, where his dominion is not merely curbed but utterly undone. The faithful who were worn out need only wait for the court to be seated. God's justice is not slow forgetfulness; it is a judgment surely coming, that will leave no shred of the oppressor's power standing.
