Where does Daniel 7:9-10 jump to after describing the Ancient of days' throne?
Following the description of the Ancient of days' throne, fiery stream, and myriad angelic hosts, the passage leaps all the way to the end of everything at the great white throne, introduced by a colon: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Les explains that Daniel 7:9-10 first shows the Ancient of days seated on a throne, with a garment white as snow, hair like pure wool, a throne like fiery flame, and wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issues from before Him, and millions of angelic hosts minister and stand before Him. Then, with just a colon, the text leaps all the way to the end of everything at the great white throne: the judgment was set and the books were opened. Les then points to verse 13, where Daniel sees one like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven to the Ancient of days and being brought near before Him.
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.
