If Daniel 7:8-11 depicts the second coming, how do you reconcile vs 12: As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
At the second coming there will be no lives prolonged, we shall be either caught up to meet the Lord in the air, or we will be engulfed in the consuming flames that will destroy all that remains alive on the earth at His coming again.
What is your understanding of Dan 7:13-14? I believe these verses depict the ascension of Christ to heaven when He is given dominion and a Kingdom that shall never end. I believe this depicts the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven where saints go a spirit soul after physical death on earth. This is proof that the Day of the Lord the prophets of Old foretell would come has indeed come with the first advent of Christ.
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.
Dan 9:24-27 was fulfilled with the advent of Christ coming to earth, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness.

Daniel 7:8-14KJV
8
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom
there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13 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.
14 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.
