9 “I watched till thrones were [
d]put in place,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment
was white as snow,
And the hair of His head
was like pure wool.
His throne
was a fiery flame,
Its wheels a burning fire;
10 A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The [
e]court was seated,
And the books were opened.
11
“I watched then because of the sound of the [f]pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its 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 a time.
13 “
I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
14
Then to Him was given 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
the one
Which shall not be destroyed."
Note that it was AFTER the whole Anitchrist ordeal that One like the Son of Man came to the Ancient of days. That is, it is after verse 11.
Hi thanks for the reply. .I would offer. .
Visions as dreams (not literally what the eyes see) given in parables must be rightly divided.2 Corinthian 4:18 the mixing formula. the gospel rest
Remember without
parables the
signified understanding
Christ the invisible head as eternal God. . our the
husband spoke not
Many
metaphors used in the
parable. it gives us its unseen eternal understanding hid from those who have
no faith as
it is written, that could please our
invisible head Christ
Without parables the signified spiritual understanding of Christ the Holy Spirit spoke not

.Daniel 7:1- 14 Daniel’s Dream About
Four Animals ( four universal south east west and north) During the first year that Belshazzar was king of Babylon, Daniel had a
dream. He saw these
visions while he was lying on his bed, and he wrote what he had dreamed. Daniel said, “I saw my vision at night. In the vision the wind was blowing from
all four directions. These winds made the
sea (the judgement of Christ) rough. I saw
four big animals (all the kingdoms of these world under the god of this world) and each one was different from the others. These four animals came up out of the
sea.(The judgment seat of Christ) “The first animal looked like a lion, but it had wings like an eagle. As I watched, its
wings were torn off. ( like the legs of the serpent no longer walk with out in agreement to Christ) It was helped up from the
ground, (earthly inspired for the devil) and it stood up on
two feet like a human.
(Like a human not human) Then it was given a
human mind.(worldly understanding.) “Then I saw another animal there in front of me that
looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had
three (denotes the end of a matter) ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat all the
meat you want!’(flesh of saints ) “After that I noticed another animal in front of me.
It looked like a leopard, but it had
four wings on its back.
(false prophet) This animal had f
our heads.( universal) It was given
authority to rule. (law of faith let there be and it was God alone good.) “After that, in my vision at night, I looked, and there in front of me was a
fourth animal (to represent al the kingdom of this dying world) . It looked very cruel and terrifying.
It looked very strong,
with large iron teeth. (Satan the father of lies as a lion seeking to devour believers) This
animal crushed and ate its victims (the unbelieving world) and
walked given
( understanding )on whatever was left of them. This
fourth animal was different from all the animals I saw before it. This animal had
ten horns.( all the kingdoms of the world ) “As I was looking,
thrones (all Kingdoms of this world) were put in their places, and the Ancient King sat on
his throne.. all the kingdoms of this world that have become the one Kingdom of Christ the invisible head the husband of the church.
His clothes were as
white as snow. (the purity of eternal God not seen) His
hair (covering) was as
white as wool.
His throne (Judgment)was made from fire, and
its wheels (the moving of justice) were made from flames. A river of fire flowed out from in front of the
Ancient King.
( Christ not seen) Millions of people (all the saints) were serving
him. Hundreds of millions of people(all the saints) stood in front of
him. Court was ready to begin, and the
books (two books the book of life and the lambs book of life ) were opened.“I kept on looking because the
little horn (Power of Christ) was bragging. I kept watching until finally the
fourth animal (all the kingdoms of dying mankind) was killed. Its
body (all kingdoms of thise world) was destroyed, and
it was thrown into the burning fire. The authority and rule of the other animals had been taken
from them.
(That follow after the oral traditons of dying mankind rather than the authority of the living word ) But they were permitted to live for a certain period of time. “In my
vision (not literally what the eyss see) at night I looked, and there in front of me was someone
who loooked like a human being.
(not a human ,God is not dying mankind ) He was coming on the clouds in the sky.
(the invisible presence of Christ the husband) He came up to the Ancient King, and the King’s servants brought him before the King.
“The one who looked like a human being (not human) was given authority, glory, and complete
ruling power. People from
every nation (all the kingdoms of the world ) and language group will serve
him. His rule will last forever.
His kingdom will continue
forever. It will never
be destroyed.
