Daniel 7

The Ancient of Days and the Son of Man

9 "As I kept watching,

thrones were set in place,  * 7:9 Mt 19:28; Rv 20:4

and the Ancient of Days took his seat.

His clothing was white like snow,  * 7:9 Mk 9:3

and the hair of his head like whitest wool.  * 7:9 Is 1:18; Rv 1:14

His throne was flaming fire;  * 7:9 Ezk 1:13,26

its wheels were blazing fire.  * 7:9 Ezk 10:2,6

10 A river of fire was flowing,

coming out from his presence.

Thousands upon thousands  * 7:10 Dt 33:2; 1Kg 22:19; Rv 5:11 served him;

ten thousand times ten thousand  * 7:10 Ps 96:11–13; Rv 9:16 stood before him.

The court was convened,  * 7:10 Dn 7:26

and the books were opened.  * 7:10 Dn 12:1; Rv 20:11–15
