Ancient of Days

"As I looked, "thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened." -- Daniel 7:9-10

When an injustice has occurred we can take comfort in knowing that our God is the Ancient of Days! He knows all and has seen all, including the hearts and intents of men. He was there in the beginning and He will be there in the end. There will be no need for "he said / she said." There will be no need to call on human material witnesses, their memory often spotty at best. There will be no mistrials or appeals; no exam and cross-exam by clever attorneys; no witness protection program; and certainly no excuses. Yes, with not even one glance the Ancient of Days knows all. Praise be to the Ancient of Days -- the only ONE worthy to judge.
