. . . the question might be raised
that the conjunction of both 'the Ancient of Days' and 'the Most High' ('lywnyn)
in Daniel 7.22 would have led John to believe that two different beings were
implied. That is, on the premise that there was one God only, it is
theoretically possible that John might have distinguished the Ancient of Days
from the Most High. But, given the likelihood that the Ancient of Days was
understood to be God and that 'the Most High' would be an unusual title to
apply to any being other than God, it is reasonable to suppose that John
would have understood the two different titles in the one verse to apply to the
one God. (Peter R. Carrell, Jesus and the Angels: Angelology and the
