After Daniel sees this small horn, he sees that a courtroom is being made ready. He sees the thrones being placed, and the most notable person he sees in his dream is the Ancient of Days. This is the Lord himself. The title he is given here indicates not weakness but the reverence of him. He is the One who deserves the greatest reverence and respect. We see a strong similarity when we compare the description of the Lord and the description of Christ in his glory in Revelation 1:13–15. Here we read, “And in the midst of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.” Here we see how the Father in heaven and Christ, who is the Son of man, belong together. We see that the word of the Lord Jesus is so true, He who has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:9). The clothes worn by the Ancient of Days reveal his absolute purity and holiness. The hair on his head is white, indicating his wisdom and length of life.  And around his throne and flowing from his throne is fire. Here again we see a strong similarity to what we read about God’s throne and the throne chariot in Ezekiel 1:1–28. God’s throne is not a throne that rules over just one place. The Lord has a throne that can go anywhere, demonstrating that there is nothing that is not subject to his government. There is nothing that he does not see or hear.
