Blessings of The Ancient of Days

I watched as thrones were put in place

and the Ancient One sat down to judge.

His clothing was as white as snow,

his hair like purest wool.

He sat on a fiery throne

with wheels of blazing fire,

and a river of fire was pouring out,

flowing from his presence.

Millions of angels ministered to him;

many millions stood to attend him.

Then the court began its session,

and the books were opened.

Blessings of The One Who Shuts Lions’ Mouths

So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested

and thrown into the den of lions.

The king said to him,

“May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.”

Very early the next morning,

the king got up and hurried out to the lions’ den.

…”Daniel, servant of the living God!

Was your God,

whom you serve so faithfully,

able to rescue you from the lions?”

Daniel answered…

“My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths…”

Blessings of The One To Whom Every Single One of Us Will Bow

…His rule is everlasting,

and his kingdom is eternal.

All the people of the earth

are nothing compared to him.

He does as he pleases

among the angels of heaven

and among the people of the earth.

No one can stop him or say to him,

‘What do you mean by doing these things?’

…praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven.

All his acts are just and true,

and he is able to humble the proud.

Daniel 4:34-35, 37
