Les Feldick Bible Study

What was God the Son given in Daniel 7 when He came before the Ancient of Days?

He was given dominion, glory, and a kingdom. That dominion is eternal and shall not pass away, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed. He receives it as He comes before the Ancient of Days and prepares to return to earth, destroy the Gentile empires, and set up His rule and reign.

Les explains that God the Son comes before God the Father, the Ancient of Days, and is given dominion, glory, and a kingdom. This occurs as He is about to return to earth and smite the Gentile empires that have been on human history for 2,600 years. Those empires will disappear from view, and He sets up His kingdom—a dominion that shall not pass away, it's eternal. Les notes it will be interrupted again when Satan is released for a little while, but then comes the new heaven and the new earth, and the kingdom continues on into eternity. His kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and He has His rule and reign.

Daniel 7:14
