‘But the judgment will sit, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it to the end.'

As through history ‘the judgment will sit'. That is, God will sit in judgment on this evil ruler as He had on the empires. And the court will take away his dominion, to get rid of it and destroy it. God is a consuming fire (see Daniel 7:9). ‘To the end.' That is, for ever. It is in contrast with God's kingdom which continues ‘to the end' (Daniel 6:26). Thus will Satan's final attempt to prevail be defeated.
