26 Now (A)above the expanse that was over their heads there was something (B)resembling a throne, like [a](C)lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a (D)man. 27 Then I [b]noticed from the appearance of His waist and upward something (E)like gleaming [c]metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 Like the appearance of the (F)rainbow [d]in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance.

The Ancient of Days Reigns

“I kept looking
Until (A)thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His (B)garment was white as snow,
And the (C)hair of His head like pure wool.
His (D)throne was [a]ablaze with flames,
Its (E)wheels were a burning fire.
10 A river of (F)fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
(G)Thousands upon thousands were serving Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The (H)court [b]convened,
And (I)the books were opened.
