The Kingdom Consummated
The Eternal Kingdom
Everlasting Dominion
Description
The kingdom of God is everlasting—it shall never be destroyed, never pass away, never end. Unlike earthly kingdoms that rise and fall, God's kingdom endures forever. Daniel saw that the kingdom given to the Son of Man was an everlasting dominion that shall not be destroyed. We receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. This eternal kingdom is the ultimate hope of believers—to reign with Christ forever in the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells.
