In Daniel 7: 9-10, a very peculiar incident is being recorded, “I beheld till the thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool, his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire …” God certainly doesn’t age, He is no grandfather, He is our Father and the same unchanging God for ever. In this vision, Daniel saw Him as Judge, the highest authority in all His majesty and dignity. The bridge is shown in verse 13. Daniel said, “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.”

Such Scriptures were used to prove more persons within the Godhead, totally overlooking the fact that already in prophetic pictures the Old Testament prophets foresaw what would take place in the New Testament. This vision has not been fulfilled up to this day: “And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” (verse 14).

The moment will come when Christ will reign as King, and we with Him. Would you be surprised to find the same description of the Ancient of days coincide with the Son of Man? To verify this we shall read in Rev. 1, from verse 13, “… and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle. His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire …”.

If we speak of terminologies used in the New Testament, we would simply say, Daniel saw the Father with the white hair, and John saw the Son with the white hair. Both descriptions are very much the same. This only confirms again that the Son is the manifestation of the Father and finally will merge again in God, as stated in I Cor. 15: 28, “And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” This is very clear.

There was a time, when the Son did not exist, but instead He was the Lord; now He exists as the Son, and then will be Lord again. The same One, whom John saw walking in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks as the Son of Man, is the One who gives His own testimony with the following words, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Rev. 1: 8). Before the Lord gave His own testimony, John saw Him in a vision coming, “Behold, he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” (verse 7).

In Rev. 20, from verse 11, the white throne judgment is being shown. Only one was sitting on the throne; before Him all are to be gathered. John testifies, “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God …”.

In Rev. 22, we read about the throne of God and of the Lamb (verses 1+3), but when it comes to the description of Him as the person, it certainly is spoken of in the singular (verse 4), “… and they shall see his face (not: their faces); and his name (not: their names) shall be on their foreheads.” Finally the One that spoke at the beginning will be heard again. In the last chapter of the last book we hear Him say, “And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” (Rev. 22: 12-13).

Anyone knows that volumes of books could be written on this inexhaustible theme. These few scriptural references are meant to help each one to do his own searching by prayer. We must make sure to stay within the limits of God’s Holy Word in whatever we believe and teach. When all things are completed, there will be no more need of a Saviour, a Healer, a Mediator, an Advocate — all will be brought back to God again and make perfect for all eternity. Then we will not hear about the Son of Man, about the Son of David, about the Son of God — God simply will be all in all.

The description found in Rev. 21: 3-7 is given as a conclusion with this brief exposition, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write; for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
