The Ancient of Days and the Son of Man

9 "As I kept watching, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white like snow, and the hair of His head like whitest wool.[a] His throne was flaming fire; its wheels were blazing fire.
10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands served Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was convened,[b] and the books were opened.
11 "I watched, then, because of the sound of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued watching, the beast was killed and its body destroyed and given over to the burning fire.[c]
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their authority to rule was removed, but an extension of life was granted to them for a certain period of time.[d]
13 I continued watching in the night visions, and I saw One like a son of man[e] coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was escorted before Him.
14 He was given authority to rule, and glory, and a kingdom; so that those of every people, nation, and language should serve[f] Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.[g]
