Today, I am reading and commenting on Daniel 7-8.

Almost always when I read this passage I get caught up in the imagery and meaning of the beasts in the visions.  However, today my attention was caught by the finale of the first vision and the explanation of that finale.  The first part of that finale is the “Ancient of Days” taking His seat on His throne.  Daniel is explaining what he asked of the angel who offered to interpret the vision said that the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgement.  Clearly, the Ancient of Days is God the Creator of the Universe.  Now, back to the vision.  At the end of the vision Daniel said that “one like a son of man” came with the clouds of heaven and was lead into the presence of the Ancient of Days.  Then He was given authority and sovereign power, all peoples and nations worshiped Him.  Further it says that His is everlasting and will not pass away.  So, this one who was brought into the presence of the Ancient of Days is also God.  This is perhaps the strongest Old Testament passage supporting the concept of the Trinity.  The “one like a son of man” in this passage was God.  I believe that He was, and is, Jesus Christ.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
