The Ancient of Days and one like the Son of man.
Who is the Ancient of days and him (one like the Son of man) who was brought before the Ancient of days?
Daniel 7 line 13 is a mystery, only to those that do not rightly divide the word of truth.
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. Daniel 7:13
Those that profess God to be more than one person, believe the Ancient of days to be God the Father (which is so) and the one like the Son of man to be another person, the person of Jesus (which is not so).
The 2 questions are:
1). who truly is the Ancient of days:
2). Who is this (him, like the Son of man) that was brought to the Ancient of days who will be given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom?
The scripture will prove the one like the Son of man is not Jesus.
The lines which will prove this are found in Daniel 7 lines 14, 18, 22, 27.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, 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. Daniel 7:14
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Daniel 7:18
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. Daniel 7:22
The (one like the Son of man) in line 13 is given dominion, and glory and a kingdom that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion……..
Who is this person? who is this that shall be given dominion, glory and a kingdom; that all people, nations and languages should serve him?
This person is the saints!
Remember the Lord is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Since he is a King, there is a kingdom; his kingdom. And he is a King of kings; therefore these kings shall also have a kingdom, for to be a king, such a person must have a kingdom!
This person are the saints that shall be kings of which their King is the Lord Jesus, the King of kings.
The Ancient of days is the Lord Jesus (which will be proven in lines to come); but first,
One like the Son of man are the saints:
The (him, in line 13) are the saints. The saints shall be caught up in the air to meet the Lord (the Ancient of days); they came with the clouds of heaven and received their rewards.
The saints shall become kings and they shall have their own kingdoms; read Daniel 7 line 14 again with line 18 with 22:
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, 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. Daniel 7:14
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Daniel 7:18
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. Daniel 7:22
If these lines were not enough, now read line 27:
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:27
And hast made us unto our God kings
and priests: and we shall reign on the
earth. Revelation 5:10
Therefore, the (one like the Son of man) is not Jesus; it is the saints. Here is the vision which was seen:
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2
Who is this (him) that the saints shall be like? The answer is found in 1 John 3 line 1:
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1
The world knoweth him not! Philip did not know him and he sat at the feet of Jesus himself; how much more shall the world not know him!
For the person who is the Father was manifest in the flesh to take away our sins; for the Father in line 1, whom the world knoweth not is the (he) that was manifested to take away our sins in line 5:
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 3:5
The (he) that shall appear in 1 John 3 line 2 is the Father in line 1; and he is the same person that will appear in Titus 2 line 13:
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13
Jesus is the mighty God and everlasting Father.
We shall be like him; therefore the one like the Son of man is the saints!
The world knoweth not:
Jesus, nor the saints.
The world knoweth not:
The Ancient of days to be Jesus.
Nor,
One like the Son of man:
To be the sons of God, the saints who shall appear to be like the Father:
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 3:5
Is this not strong meat and truly worthy truth to pant for, search out, find and understand?
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. Psalms 119:131
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. Psalms 42:1
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Psalms 42:2
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
The saints shall come and appear before the Ancient of days for their rewards; and they were given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, 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. The saints are going to have their own kingdom and they shall be kings over the people who are left on earth after the Lord shall send forth his angels and take those that are not worthy to enter into the Lord’s rest. Those that remain shall be ruled over by the saints during the thousand years when the government shall be upon the Lord’s shoulder.
And the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
The most High is Jesus the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords according to:
That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Timothy 6:14
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 1 Timothy 6:15
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:16
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:16
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 20:4
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1 Corinthians 6:2
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Corinthians 6:3
And to think all one would need to do is read the mate lines in the very same chapter of Daniel 7 to understand that the (he), ( one like the Son of man) in line 13) written in Daniel 7 is the saints according to lines 14, 18, 22, and 27!
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? Acts 8:30
And Philip did guide according to:
(Isaiah 28:9-13 with 2Timothy 2:15).
Ah but to understand the Ancient of days to be Jesus the everlasting Father will require more dividing the word of truth; for:
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. Isaiah 45:15
We know that the God is one LORD:
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Deuteronomy 6:4
But the world truly hath no understanding of how the person who is the child is also the Father:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
God is one person:
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. Job 13:6
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? Job 13:7
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? Job 13:8
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? Job 13:9
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. Job 13:10
If God were more than one person he would have been given more than one omer:
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. Exodus 16:15
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. Exodus 16:16
And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. Exodus 16:22
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. Exodus 16:33
Three omers of meal would be likened to three measure of meal which is leavened:
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Matthew 13:33
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Matthew 16:6
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Matthew 16:7
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Matthew 16:11
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Matthew 16:12
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. Mark 8:15
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Luke 12:1
If Jesus was not the Father, then Philip would not have been reproved; and his question would not have been answered as such.
The person who is the everlasting Father reproved Philip:
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. John 14:8
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? John 14:9
The person who is the Son of God is eternal, but he being a Holy Spirit manifested in the flesh and became both Father and Son at the appointed time:
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Hebrews 1:5
When the Father manifest in the flesh and became a man with a flesh and blood body, he was required to pray:
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Psalms 65:2
And to whom did his prayer go?:
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. Psalms 35:13
More lines to consider:
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 8:24
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. John 8:25
I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. John 8:26
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. John 8:27
