A Divine King to Worship
Scholars point out that the Aramaic word for "serve" in this verse is specifically used for divine worship. This means Daniel's vision portrays the "Son of man" (Jesus Christ) not just as a human king, but as God Himself, worthy of worship from all nations. This authority was given to him in his role as Mediator between God and humanity.
