“I watched until thrones were placed,
    and one who was ancient of days sat.
His clothing was white as snow,
    and the hair of his head like pure wool.
His throne was fiery flames,
    and its wheels burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came out from before him.
    Thousands of thousands ministered to him.
    Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The judgment was set.
    The books were opened.

11 “I watched at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that which will not be destroyed.

The Ancient of Days Reigns

I watched until

the thrones were cast down
    and the Ancient of Days was seated,
whose garment was white as snow,
    and the hair of His head like the pure wool.
His throne was like the fiery flame,
    and its wheels as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued
    and came out from before Him.
A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
    and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The judgment was set,
    and the books were opened.

11 Then I watched because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking. I watched even until the beast was slain, and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

13 I saw in the night visions, and there was one like a Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. 14 There was given to Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
