What does Daniel 7:14 mean?

This part of Daniel's vision (Daniel 7:1) pictures Jesus, the "son of man" (Daniel 7:13) being honored and invested with supreme power. The previous verse associates this event with the clouds of heaven. This transaction happens through the will of the "Ancient of Days," meaning God the Father. Daniel's depiction of this crucial figure is important for understanding New Testament events. Jesus applied this imagery to Himself many times (Matthew 26:2; John 1:51). Daniel is seeing the eventual end of God's plan, where Jesus rules the world directly and in person (Matthew 25:31; Revelation 11:15).

This event is also previewed in Revelation 5:5–14. When Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is formally given rule of earth, the occupants of heaven proclaim His worthiness to receive "power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing" (Revelation 5:12). The kingdoms Daniel saw rise from the sea ended, and the kingdom of the beast in the end time will be destroyed, but Jesus' kingdom will never be destroyed (Revelation 20:1–6).
