The Ancient of Days Reigns

Daniel 7

9 "As I looked,
b thrones were placed,
and the c Ancient of Days took his seat;
d his clothing was white as snow,
and e the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
f its wheels were burning fire.
 10 g A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
h a thousand thousands i served him,
h and ten thousand times ten thousand j stood before him;
the k court sat in judgment,
and l the books were opened.

11 "I looked then because of the sound of a the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, m the beast was killed, and its body destroyed m and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, n their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
