Eternal Duration Language

The phrase "for ever and ever" refers to the duration of glory being given to the Lord, not directly to the duration of the Lord's preservation or the heavenly kingdom itself.

Saints Reign in Heaven

The verse speaks of being preserved unto a "heavenly kingdom" and gives glory to the Lord, but it does not explicitly mention saints reigning with Christ, sitting on thrones, or a celestial millennial reign.
