The "court" suggests a formal assembly of divine beings, possibly angels, presided over by God Himself. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages that depict God as the ultimate judge (e.g., <a href="/psalms/82.htm">Psalm 82:1</a>, <a href="/revelation/20-11.htm">Revelation 20:11-12</a>). The convening of the court signifies the beginning of a decisive action against evil powers, reflecting the biblical theme of God's sovereignty and justice.<p><b>and his dominion will be taken away</b><br>The "his" in this phrase refers to the fourth beast described earlier in <a href="/daniel/7.htm">Daniel 7</a>, often interpreted as a representation of a powerful, oppressive kingdom or ruler. Historically, this has been associated with the Roman Empire or a future antichrist figure. The removal of dominion indicates a transfer of power, emphasizing that earthly kingdoms are temporary and subject to God's ultimate authority. This aligns with the biblical narrative that God raises and deposes kings (<a href="/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a>).<p><b>and completely destroyed forever</b><br>This phrase underscores the finality and totality of God's judgment. The destruction is not partial or temporary but absolute and eternal. This reflects the eschatological hope found throughout Scripture, where evil is ultimately vanquished (<a href="/revelation/19-20.htm">Revelation 19:20, 20</a>:10). The complete destruction of this dominion is a precursor to the establishment of God's everlasting kingdom, as prophesied in <a href="/daniel/2-44.htm">Daniel 2:44</a> and reaffirmed in the New Testament with the coming of Christ's eternal reign (<a href="/luke/1-33.htm">Luke 1:33</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_court.htm">The Court</a></b><br>This refers to the divine court or heavenly tribunal that God convenes to execute judgment.
