Ques. 102. Who is the "Ancient of Days" in Dan. 7:9,139I 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. (Daniel 7:9)
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. (Daniel 7:13); and who is the "One like the Son of man"? E. M. S.
Rev. 5:99And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (Revelation 5:9) declares, He is worthy to take the book of God's judgments, and to open the seals thereof, because "Thou wast slain".
His is the everlasting kingdom spoken of in Daniel, and throughout the Scriptures.
“He is King of kings, and Lord of lords." (Rev. 19:11-1611And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:11‑16).)
Even down here He was God manifest in the flesh.
“Worthy by all to be adored.”
Ans. New Trans. reads: "For I am conscious of nothing in myself.”
The Corinthians had been judging the motives of the laborers who are stewards for God. Paul committed his own behavior to the Lord, and while not conscious of doing wrong, said, this did not justify him. The Lord is the only true judge, and He would judge every motive and counsel of the heart at the judgment seat of Christ.
We must act in sincerity before the Lord for ourselves, and yet at the judgment seat we may find, in some things we were greatly mistaken.
