The Judgment
- Dates
- From 1844 AD
Daniel's dream of four beasts is followed by a dream of the Ancient of Days being seated and the books were opened. It describes a judgment over which God presides. This scene follows the claims made by the little horn in Daniel 7:8.
In detail
Daniel 7:9, 10 cannot represent the second coming of Christ to this earth, for Christ comes to "the Ancient of days." The coming of Christ to the most holy place for the cleansing of the sanctuary is here represented.
Bible passages
- Daniel 7:9-10
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
