The Ancient of Days

"As I looked,

thrones were placed

and one that was ancient of days took his seat;

his raiment was white as snow,

and the hair of his head like pure wool;

his throne was fiery flames,

its wheels were burning fire"

 

- Daniel 7:9, which is part of today's First Reading at Mass.
