A translation of the Aramaic expression ʽattiqʹ yohminʹ, which means "someone has advanced (or aged) in days". This title of Jehovah appears only in Daniel 7: 9, 13 and 22 and alternates with the title "Supreme". (Da 7:18, 22, 25, 27) The stage is a courtyard where the Ancient of Days sits to judge the world powers, represented under the symbolism of huge animals. His power to rule over the earth is taken away and “the dominion, the dignity and the kingdom” are given to someone “like a son of man” who is ordered that all people obey. - From 7:10 am to 2:00 pm.
The title “Ancient of Days” appropriately contrasts the Eternal God with successive ascending and descending world powers and describes Jehovah in his role as the majestic and venerable judge of all.
