In chapter 7, Daniel sees a vision of four beasts symbolizing successive kingdoms that oppress humanity, but it culminates in God, the Ancient of Days, judging these powers and granting an everlasting kingdom. This verse specifically assures the faithful Israelites that the saints of the Most High will inherit and rule this kingdom forever, offering hope amid foreign domination.
