Daniel Chapter 7 Vs. 27

 Daniel's Vision Interpreted


And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Dan. 7:27


the whole heaven... This is to be taken literally, not figuratively, as in the references to the extent of the world empires of Dan. 2:38, 2:39, 2:40; 7:23; Rev. 13:8, 13:16. There is no limitation to the extent of the coming kingdom of God, as there was with the human kingdoms in the times of the Gentiles.

to the people... Three times in this chapter it is stated that the saints of God will take over the kingdoms of the world following the kingdom of Antichrist (Dan. 7:18, 7:22, 7:27). Also, three times it is stated that the kingdom will be eternal (Dan. 7:13-14, 7:18, 7:27).

all dominions shall... All earthly kingdoms will eventually be under God as before rebellion started by Lucifer and later by Adam (1Cor. 15:24-28; Eph. 1:10; Rev. 21-22).

The kingdom... “given to”, “the saints. God’s kingdom in both earthly (Rev. 20:4), and heavenly phases (Rev. 21:27; 22:3-4 and 14).

Heb. 12:28 “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:”

Rev. 20:6 “Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”



This kingdom will not be overthrown and superseded by another. It will continue in the Millennium and on forever (cf. Dan. 4:34; 6:26; 7:14). All peoples and kings will worship and obey Him.
