Daniel 7, a hotbed for eschatological theorizing,
continues to baffle commentators, past and
present.

The solution to the identity of the Ancient of
Days is in my opinion, one that is without

Divine character is God himself. This view
largely stems from the reading of the text.

Variant renderings are:

The Son of Man comes as the Ancient of Days

In the first rendering the Father is meant. In
the second it refers to the Son. Can we solve
this debate of Who is the Ancient of Days in
Daniel 7?
