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]
