Daniel 7 - The Interpretation of Daniel's Vision:

In the dream of the statue in Daniel chapter 2, the statue was crushed by the rock (the kingdom of Christ).  This rock grew to cover the face of the earth.

In Daniel's vision of the animals or beasts in chapter 7, after the beasts are all slain...the saints of God also receive a kingdom.

I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17 'These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. 18 'But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.'  Daniel 7:16-18 (NAS)

Question:

In Daniel's vision, God reassures Daniel as to the fate of the saints. According to verse 18, the saints of God would receive a kingdom that would last how long?

For 1000 Years Forever and Ever Until the year 2000

So he told me.  He explained to me what these things meant.  17He said, 'the four great animals are four kingdoms.  Those four kingdoms will come from the earth. 18But God's special people will receive the kingdom.  Andy they will have the kingdom forever and ever.' (ERV)
