What kind of kingdom is the kingdom given to the Son in Daniel 7:14?
Daniel 7:14 presents the kingdom given to the Son as a visible, viable, political, governmental kingdom on the earth. Dominion and glory are given to the Son along with this kingdom, which is described as an actual earthly rule and government.
Les teaches that Daniel 7:14 follows the scene where the Son of Man comes with the clouds of heaven to the Ancient of Days, a reference to the Father. There was given to the Son dominion, glory, and a kingdom. Les connects this back to Adam, who had dominion in Genesis but lost it when he sinned, and Satan then picked it up, becoming the mortgage holder over the planet. Les explains that God will pay off that mortgage in full through the judgments and events of the seven years of tribulation, bringing the world to a delivery from the curse, which Jesus calls the beginning of travail in Matthew 24. The kingdom is therefore visible, viable, political, and governmental on the earth.
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.
