We focus on the eternal dominion of the Lord.

This is from Daniel 4:34: 'At the end of that time, I,

Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored.

Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.

His dominion is an eternal dominion;

his kingdom endures from generation to generation.'

King Nebuchadnezzar, while walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,

said, 'Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence,

by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?' (Daniel 4:30).

Before the words were even out of his mouth, a voice came from heaven:

'King Nebuchadnezzar, this is what is decreed for you:

Your royal authority has been taken from you.

You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals;

you will eat grass like the ox for seven years until you acknowledge

that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth

and gives them to anyone he wishes' (Daniel 4:31-32).

The word was fulfilled for King Nebuchadnezzar, and after seven years had passed,

he looked up toward heaven, and his sanity was restored.

He then worshiped the Most High God and praised Him

who lives forever, saying (Daniel 4:34):

'His dominion is an eternal dominion; His kingdom

endures from generation to generation' (v. 34).

In the vision that Daniel saw, God gave authority, glory, and a kingdom

to 'one like a son of man' (7:13), so that all nations

and peoples of every language would serve Him.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away,

and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed (v. 14).

The Lord's dominion is an everlasting dominion.

This eternal authority is the authority given by God the Father to His Son,

Jesus Christ, to rule over all people, and with this authority,

the Lord grants eternal life to all whom the Father has given Him (John 17:2).

Therefore, we focus on this eternal dominion of the Lord.
