The Ancient of Days Reigns

“I kept looking
Until (A)thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His (B)garment was white as snow,
And the (C)hair of His head like pure wool.
His (D)throne was [a]ablaze with flames,
Its (E)wheels were a burning fire.
10 A river of (F)fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
(G)Thousands upon thousands were serving Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The (H)court [b]convened,
And (I)the books were opened.

11 Then I kept looking because of the sound of the [c]boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was killed, and its body was destroyed and given to the (J)burning [d]fire.

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.

10 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.

11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
