Study note

Setting — The vision concludes with a declaration given to Daniel regarding the judgment of the fourth beast and the subsequent transfer of authority. The words — מַלְכוּתָ֨/ה (mal.khu.Tah) = and/ kingdom/ the and שָׁלְטָנָ֜/א (shal.ta.Na) = and/ dominion/ the. The thread — The theme of universal rulers submitting to a perpetual kingdom appears in Psalms 72:11, Luke 1:33, and Revelation 11:15. Why it lands — The text states that all earthly sovereignty will be transferred to the saints and that every ruler will serve the Most High, requiring the reader to acknowledge the absolute and permanent nature of divine rule over human governments.
