As noted to me by Prof. Alexander
Rofé, an additional parallel to [Dan 7:14] can also be found in Dan 2:42: “And
in the time of those kings, the God of Heaven will establish a kingdom that
shall never be destroyed (מלכו די לעלמין לא תתחבל), a kingdom that shall not be
transferred to another people. . . .” This parallel also conforms to the larger
parallel scheme structured between the dream in chapter 2 and the apocalyptic
vision in chapter 7, both of which refer to the sequence of four kingdoms to be
followed by an eternal kingdom. In 2:44, the reference is clearly to the establishment
of a kingdom in which Israel will be sovereign. This verse appears within the interpretation
of the dreams; it is parallel to 7:27, which states that the עם קדישי עליונין,
also a designation for Israel, are to receive the kingdom . . . The discussion
in this section addresses the identification of כ)בר אנש) in the vision itself,
who functions, according to the claim here, as Israel’s heavenly representative.
