What kind of kingdom is described in Daniel 7:14?
Daniel 7:14 describes a kingdom given to the Son of Man that is visible, viable, political, and governmental on earth. Though granted it is spiritual, it will be an eternal, everlasting kingdom that shall not pass away or be destroyed, established when He becomes King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Les explains that Daniel 7:14 follows the Son of Man coming with the clouds to the Ancient of Days, where the Son is given dominion, glory, and a kingdom. He notes Adam originally had dominion in Genesis 1 and lost it through disobedience; Satan then picked it up, becoming the mortgage holder over the planet. God will pay off that mortgage through the judgments and events of the seven-year tribulation, bringing delivery from the curse. The kingdom is visible, viable, political, and governmental on earth, though granted it is spiritual. For Grace Age believers, citizenship is in Heaven, and they have been translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son now located in Heaven. When the Son leaves Heaven and brings the Heavenly Kingdom to set up the earthly Kingdom, believers will be with Him. This kingdom is not just for a thousand years but is eternal, everlasting, shall not pass away, and shall not be destroyed, as He becomes King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
