Biblical Passage: Daniel 7:13-14 (KJV)
"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."
"And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
Dalí’s surrealist interpretation would highlight the cosmic and eternal nature of Christ’s reign. Through dreamlike imagery, fluid forms, and divine radiance, Dalí would convey the transcendence of the Son of Man, who comes with heavenly authority to establish an everlasting kingdom. His surreal use of light, time, and cosmic landscapes would emphasize the divine power, the eternity of the kingdom, and the hope of redemption for all people.
