When
the Ancient of Days - God the Father - comes. judgment will come too.
The Hebrew word for court actually means “judgment.” When
God comes. He ends the life of the little horn and sends it to the
burning fire. In a few verses. Daniel will ask for the dream to be
explained. Then we will discover what this judgment is all about.
But for now we need to see that this is not the final judgment because
rebellion follows.

As
for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but
an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period
of time. (NASB) Dan. 7:12 |
Eventually when we come to Revelation 20:6-10 we will discover that
God will allow this human rebellion to occur after a thousand years
of peace. The world seeks peace today. They believe this will make
them happy, but this rebellion will be proof that we do not want peace.
Men and women are rebels and they hate God.
The
Next Kingdom. The visions continue and we see Jesus Christ
come and receive His kingdom.

I
kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds
of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to
the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. And to Him
was given dominion, glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples,
nations, and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion
is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; And His
kingdom is one which will not be destroyed. (NASB) Dan. 7:12-14 |
The
Son of Man is Jesus Christ. He has come to the Ancient of Days, God
the Father, to receive His eternal kingdom. This is a wonderful picture
of the Trinity. These verses show the Trinity acting separately and
yet in verses 9 and 22 God the Father, the Ancient of Days, acts together
with Jesus Christ to defeat Antichrist and to pass judgement. The
trinity acts as one.

Therefore
also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which
is above every name, that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD
BOW, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the
earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NASB) Philippians
2:9-11 |
