What does Daniel 7:27 mean?

God's people will experience horrendous persecution under the head of a uniquely brutal worldwide empire during the end times (Daniel 7:19–26). Yet this will not be the end of believers or the destruction of their faith. God will restore and reward His people after the end of the tribulation. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, will return to earth, vanquish the "little horn" (Daniel 7:7–8) and his evil rule, and bring defeat to all his accomplices and followers.

Jesus promised that saved Jews and Gentiles would inherit the kingdom. Matthew 25:34 quotes Him as saying to those who submit to His rule, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Matthew 5:5 promises, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Daniel 7:27 describes the fulfillment of this promise. One day, Christ will inaugurate His millennial kingdom and welcome the persecuted saints into it (Revelation 20:1–6).
