The ancient of days is commonly looked upon to be the father; now
'tis true, the father hath covenanted and engaged to set Christ upon his throne,
and he calls him his King, but you will find in Revel. 1 this very description,
that is in Daniel applyed to Christ, The hair of his head is said to be as white
as snow, and therefore how shall we understand this? I will tell you how it may
be reconciled by Davids Lord, Davids son, that is, the head of Christ is God,
this is the head here spoken of, (the hair of his head was as white as wool:)
and therefore I say, this presenting the son of man to the ancient of days, is
but the bringing the right heir, Christ the son of man, to the head of Christ,
which is God. (J.S., News of a New World from The Word and Works of God
[London, 1676], 58)
