The little horn that speaks boastfully is like the antichrist (Rev 13;5,6). So we see human kingdoms taking power for a time then being deposed, and behind it all is demonic power. Then demonic power will act openly, proclaiming its own greatness.
Then, v9 onwards, we see something else that is happening, we see what is happening in the heavenly realms. The Ancient of Days, ie the Lord, takes His place. Fire flows from His throne, and there are many who serve Him.
The boastful one was slain and thrown into the fire. Note the vision of hell.
Next (v13) we get the Son of Man, a term favoured by Jesus when speaking of Himself. He came with the clouds of heaven. This is a reference to the second coming. Satan seeks to have power over all the world, but it is only Christ who actually has power. And only Christ will be worshipped by all peoples (Phil 2:10).
Christ's is the only kingdom that will last forever.
