# Daniel 7:13-14 and Justification Daniel 7:13-14 does not directly teach about justification in the Pauline sense of being declared righteous by faith. Rather, it presents a vision of "one like a son of man" who receives eternal dominion, glory, and an everlasting kingdom from the Ancient of Days, which Christians interpret as pointing to Christ's vindication and authority. The passage focuses on royal enthronement and cosmic judgment rather than the forensic declaration of righteousness that characterizes New Testament justification theology. **Daniel 7:13-14**: *"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed."* (ESV)
