Overview & Insights
"To him was given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him." (Daniel 7:14)
Daniel sees the Ancient of Days seated in judgment and one like a son of man coming with the clouds. To this figure is given an everlasting dominion that shall never pass away.
