ANCIENT OF DAYS
TEXT: DANIEL 7:9-14
Key Verse: "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire" (Daniel 7:9).
The phrase "ancient" occurs three times in the Bible, in the book of Daniel Chapter 7 verses 9, 13 and 22. This chapter relates a dream and a vision that Daniel received to show that there would be four powerful human kingdoms before the kingdom of God will finally take over everything.
"Ancient of Days" is used to describe the Everlasting God. It literally means "One advanced in days", and it may possibly mean "One who forwards time or rules over it."
Ancient of Days suggest age, dignity, endurance, judgment and wisdom. God is the One that posseses these qualities. He is the One who has existed before time began, and will continue to exist when time shall be no more.
God is eternal, and He reigns over heaven and earth, everything above and beneath the earth. He is ageless and cannot be measured in might, action and everything.
When Daniel saw the awesome vision of the Ancient of Days, he fell down and there was no strength remaining in him. *No human can have an encounter with Jesus, the Ancient of Days, and remain the same.
Therefore, sinners must bow before Him in sincere repentance, so as to receive forgiveness and pardon for their sins. This is the only way they can escape the judgment that will soon come upon the world. The time is short, do not waste this opportunity.
Prayer: Ancient of Days, I surrender my life to You. I worship and adore You.
