What end-time event does Daniel 7:9 leap forward to?
Daniel 7:9 leaps forward to the great white throne judgment at the end of everything. The Ancient of Days sits on His fiery throne, millions of angelic hosts minister before Him, and then the scene jumps to the judgment being set and the books being opened.
Les explains that Daniel 7:9 presents God the Father on the supreme area of the throne, with God the Son coming before Him. The Ancient of Days sits with garment white as snow, hair like pure wool, His throne like a fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issues from before Him, and millions of angelic hosts minister unto Him, with ten thousand times ten thousand standing before Him. Then the passage leaps all the way to the end of everything at the great white throne with just a colon: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Daniel then sees in verse 13 one like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven to the Ancient of Days, the same one from verse 9.
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.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
