Daniel's vision in Chapter 7 introduces the greatest hope of all mankind, Jesus Christ. It is in this vision that he sees the Son of Man on clouds in heaven going before the throne of the Ancient of Days. This scene signifies how Jesus receives His promised "dominion, and glory, and a kingdom." According to William Plumer, "the terms 'dominion, glory, and a kingdom,' denote the extent, grandeur, and permanency of the posession purchased by Christ, and secured to him by covenant. What Daniel therefore saw was, 'that in the vigor of the Roman empire Jesus Christ ascended to his God and Father, the Ancient of days, and took his seat at his right hand, and received a title to and entered on the possession of a kingdom - grand, glorious, and permanent.' " The hope that we have in Christ is an everlasting hope that is established by God. Jesus is referred to as teh Rock of our salvation because of its weight and foundation that cannot be shaken. Therefore, put your trust in the Lord for He will remain faithful until the end.
