Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14“As I looked,thrones were set in place,and the Ancient of Days took His seat.His clothing was as white as snow;the hair of his head was white like wool.His throne was flaming with fire,and its wheels were all ablaze.A river of fire was flowing,coming out from before him.A thousand thousands attended him;ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.The court was seated,and the books were opened.”***In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a sonof man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancientof Days and was led into His presence. And to Him was givenauthority, glory and sovereign power, that all nations and peoples ofevery language should serve him. His dominion is an everlastingdominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom is one that willnever be destroyed.
