"In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed...Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him." (Daniel 7:13-14, 27)
Daniel is given a vision and an explanation for the vision. The saints belonging to God will suffer oppression under the rule of successive kingdoms. But one "like a son of man" will come "with the clouds of heaven" and will establish an "everlasting kingdom." The authority of this kingdom will extend over "the kingdoms under the whole heaven."
Saints, holy people of God, wait for the fulfillment of the vision given to Daniel.
