Who is the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7?
The Ancient of Days in Daniel 7 refers to the Father, the other person of the Godhead. In the night visions, the Son of Man comes with the clouds of heaven to the Ancient of Days. This distinguishes the Father from the Son, identifying the Ancient of Days as God the Father.
Les teaches that the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7 is no doubt a reference to the Father, the other person of the Godhead. In the passage, one like the Son of Man comes with the clouds of heaven and is brought near before the Ancient of Days. Les explains that this distinguishes the Son from the Father. He then connects verse 14, where the Son is given dominion, glory, and a kingdom, back to Genesis where Adam had dominion but lost it through sin, and Satan picked it up. Les says this kingdom is a visible, viable, political, governmental kingdom on the earth.
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
