Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven
This phrase indicates a transfer of power and authority. In the context ofDaniel 7, it follows a vision of four beasts representing successive empires. The phrase suggests a culmination of earthly kingdoms being replaced by a divine kingdom. The "kingdoms under all of heaven" implies a universal scope, encompassing all earthly realms. This reflects the biblical theme of God's ultimate authority over all nations, as seen in Psalms 22:28 andRevelation 11:15, where God's reign is established over the earth.

will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
The "saints of the Most High" refers to God's faithful people, often understood as those who remain true to God amidst persecution. This transfer of power to the saints is a recurring theme in biblical prophecy, highlighting the eventual vindication and exaltation of God's people. It echoes the promises found in passages likeMatthew 5:5, where the meek inherit the earth, andRevelation 20:4, where the faithful reign with Christ. This reflects the biblical principle that those who suffer for righteousness will ultimately be rewarded.

His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom,
The everlasting nature of this kingdom contrasts with the temporary and often oppressive reigns of earthly empires. This eternal kingdom is a central theme in biblical prophecy, emphasizing God's unchanging sovereignty. It aligns with the promises made to David in2 Samuel 7:16, where his throne is established forever, and is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, as seen inLuke 1:33. The eternal kingdom underscores the hope of a future where God's justice and peace prevail eternally.

and all rulers will serve and obey Him.
This phrase indicates a future where all earthly authorities recognize and submit to God's ultimate rule. It reflects the prophetic vision of universal acknowledgment of God's sovereignty, as seen inPhilippians 2:10-11, where every knee bows to Christ. This submission of rulers is a reversal of the rebellion and pride often associated with human governance, as depicted inPsalm 2. It points to a time when God's righteous rule is fully realized, and all creation aligns with His will.

What Does Daniel 7:27 Mean

Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven

- “Then” links back toDaniel 7:22, when the Ancient of Days renders judgment and brings to an end the reign of the “little horn” (Daniel 7:25–26).

- “Sovereignty, dominion, and greatness” covers every layer of authority in every nation.Psalm 22:28 affirms, “For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations”.

- “Under all of heaven” underscores the global sweep of this transfer.Revelation 11:15 echoes the moment: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever”.

- Taken plainly, this verse promises a real, historical shift of all worldly power to God’s appointed ruler.

will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High

- God does not keep the kingdom to Himself; He shares it with His redeemed.1 Corinthians 6:2 reminds us, “Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?”.

- Other passages expand the promise:

•2 Timothy 2:12—“If we endure, we will also reign with Him.”

•Revelation 5:10—“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”

•Revelation 20:4—tribulation believers “came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

- The description “people” stresses our genuine humanity; “saints” stresses our set-apart status. God’s plan lifts ordinary believers into extraordinary responsibility.

His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom

- “His” points back to the Most High and forward to the Messiah who receives the kingdom (cf.Daniel 7:13–14).

-Isaiah 9:7 prophesied, “Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end,” andLuke 1:33 confirms, “His kingdom will never end!” (both).

-Daniel 2:44 already declared that this kingdom “will never be destroyed.” The permanence contrasts every previous empire that rose and fell.

-Revelation 22:5 looks beyond the millennial reign to eternity: “They will reign forever and ever”. The promise stretches unbroken from Christ’s return into the new heaven and new earth.

and all rulers will serve and obey Him

- Universal submission—no holdouts.Psalm 72:11 envisions the same scene: “May all kings bow down to Him and all nations serve Him”.

-Philippians 2:10–11 confirms every knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus as Lord.

- The language is both voluntary (“serve”) and compelled (“obey”), portraying wholehearted loyalty and rightful authority combined.

- In practical terms, every sector—political, economic, cultural—will come under Christ’s righteous rule, fulfillingHabakkuk 2:14’s vision of the earth filled “with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD.”

summary

Daniel 7:27 promises a literal handover of every earthly power to God’s people under Christ. After the defeat of evil, the Most High shares His worldwide dominion with the saints. That kingdom never ends, and every ruler gladly submits to the King of kings. For believers, the verse offers unshakable hope: our present trials lead to future, everlasting partnership in Christ’s glorious reign.
