The Ancient of Days Reigns

9“I kept looking

Until athrones were set up,

And the Ancient of Days took His seat;

His bvesture was like white snow

And the chair of His head like pure wool.

His dthrone was 1ablaze with flames,

Its ewheels were a burning fire.

10“A river of afire was flowing

And coming out from before Him;

bThousands upon thousands were attending Him,

And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;

The ccourt sat,

And dthe books were opened.

11“Then I kept looking because of the sound of the 1boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the aburning 2fire.

12“As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.

The Son of Man Presented

13“I kept looking in the night visions,

And behold, with the clouds of heaven

One like a aSon of Man was coming,

And He came up to the Ancient of Days

And was presented before Him.

14“And to Him was given adominion,

Glory and 1ba kingdom,

cThat all the peoples, nations and men of every 2language

Might serve Him.

dHis dominion is an everlasting dominion

Which will not pass away;

eAnd His kingdom is one

Which will not be destroyed.

Read in Logos
Daniel 7:9: ...As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.
