I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:9
One of the purest form of God is Ancient of Days where God appears as a consuming fire in all His Glory and Majesty. The throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; and a stream of fire flowed from His presence. There's fire everywhere. The courts of Ancient of Days is fire hot, burning with temperatures too high for mankind and angels to endure and survive. The courts of Ancient of Days appear to be set inside a live volcano or in the centre of sun. There are streams of fire flowing from His presence. No one could have ever seen God in such Glory and Majesty that everything around him was like a burning and fiery flame.
Imagine how hot or blistering it feels to be near the Ancient of Days. Ancient of Days is a tremendously dangerous entity to be around, and even a glance or glimpse of Ancient of Days is burning hot. Daniel's life would have been greatly impacted by seeing and experiencing this much consuming fire. That fire would have burned his physical body as well as his soul. It's no surprise Daniel was sick for a few weeks after such visitations. The fire may have purified, refined and set his life on fire. Ancient of days and everything around the Ancient of Days was fire. It was a spectacle that might have happened once in a billion years. The creation, including created beings like humans and angels, got this opportunity to see God in all of His fullness as the Ancient of Days.
How can a human like Daniel and angels withstand such a high intensity of God's consuming fire? Surviving after seeing the Ancient of days itself is a miracle. Consider how the courts of Ancient of Days will be: full of Glory and full of Fire. Even a glance of the courts of Ancient of Days can set you on fire. Consuming fire in the courts of the Ancient of Days does not only create fear, but it can vaporise you in milliseconds. Ancient of Days is not a simple person to talk to or associate with. He is an massive entity that emits or radiates 1,000 times more heat than the sun.
The sun's light will be nothing before the Ancient of Days immense light. In comparison to the great brilliance of the Ancient of Days, the sun will appear like a very small bulb. Ancient of Days is so magnificent that no one has ever seen or experienced him. A stream of fire flowed from His presence, the throne was a fiery flame, and its wheels a burning fire. Fire is the central characteristic of Ancient of Days and Ancient of Days is the source of the consuming fire. The consuming fire originates from the Ancient of Days. The throne radiated that fire, the wheels were burning with that fire, and a river of fire flowed from him. The river of fire flowed throughout the Ancient of Days' courts, and it even touched the angels who ministered. But the Ancient of Days is the source of fire, and He sets everything on fire.
The Ancient of Days himself is the source and the reservoir of the consuming fire, while everything around him radiates that fire. The Ancient of Days is a consuming fire where every part of him is consuming fire. His nature and attributes are also a consuming fire. Everything associated with Ancient of Days is a consuming and fiery fire.
Have you ever seen God like this? We always see God as the God of Love. Did we ever see God's fiery attributes like God’s wrath, anger, Holiness or Fire? To stand before the Ancient of Days, in our earthly journey it is not enough to see and experience God as the God of love; one must also see God's fiery characters, which includes anger, wrath, righteousness, and truth. This generation has only seen and wants to see the loving nature of God, but not His fiery nature. They are totally unaware of God's fiery natures. God is loving while also being the God of truth and vengeance.
When Israelites sinned, it was God, not Satan, who gave them into the hands of their enemies, and in some cases destroyed them. God is also an avenging and destroying God. That’s why the author of Hebrews says “It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!” Hebrews 10:31.
Better we see and experience God's flaming natures now on earth rather than experiencing that before the throne of the Ancient of Days. Consuming fire is central characteristic of the Ancient of Days. He sits on a fiery throne that is scorching, burning, splendid, and terrifying to witness. The wheels are blazing with flames, like fireballs. It looks like fireballs are moving the throne. The wheels, which are the working spirits, perform everything with Ancient of Days consuming fire. The working spirits are fulfilling all of God's plans with the consuming fire. God's end-time preachers will likewise be raised in the land, carrying out God's end-time purposes through Ancient of Days consuming fire. A stream of fire flowed from His presence.
A fountain of life once flowed before the throne, but now a stream of fire flows. The days of mercy are over, and the days of destruction are starting. We have never seen God in such a glory or wrath that everything around Him is a fiery fire. Ancient of Days is extremely hot, and everything around him is also blazing hot. Maybe God has been passive all these years, but now God is winding up this era. The end of times is at hand. The fullness of time has reached, and all of God's plans are being completed, as thrones are prepared for the Ancient of Days to take His rightful place. The era of time and humanity is over. God is coming to take His rightful place on the throne as the Ancient of Days.
