Two Persons of Gods in Daniel Prayers
Ancient of days and one like a son of man.
In Daniel 7:9-22, the "
Ancient of Days" is a title for God as the eternal, supreme Judge who sits on a fiery throne to establish His everlasting kingdom and vindicate His people. This vision assures believers that God is sovereign over worldly powers. Prayers related to this theme emphasize trusting in God's unchanging nature, authority over earthly kingdoms, and ultimate justice.
