Ancient of Days (4 of 7)

Ancient of Days (4 of 7)

"The Ancient of Days took his seat...his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and came out from before him." Daniel 7:9-10
 
The Ancient of Days isn't old and decrepit. Not at all. 

The Ancient of Days is vigorous and active--constantly mobile.

Notice all the references to fire-- his throne was fiery flames... burning fire... stream of fire. The fire obviously indicates he is continuously manifesting his radiant presence.
Also notice that his throne has wheels--not a wheel chair, but a throne in constant motion, able to move anywhere at any time in an instant. 

The Ancient of Days is not dormant or stationary, not sedated or sedimentary. No, the Ancient of Days is in perpetual motion and continuously communicating his presence to his people.

This is the Ancient of Days who invites you to know him. His throne is radiating his manifest presence to you and your people, and his rule extends to you today. 

Bow before the Ancient of Days. Receive from the Ancient of Days.  Come under the dynamic authority of the Ancient of Days.

Ancient of Days, I now receive from the fire of your manifest presence. I come under the authority of your throne on wheels. You are my Lord and my God.

YEAR ON FIRE
