The Ancient of Days

A few days ago while praying, I saw a picture of Jesus in a way that I’ve never experienced before. I saw Him coming down and looking at me from above.

I was astonished and did not know what to make of it. Initially I thought He is telling me that my time on earth was over. Regardless of the fact that going to heaven is a wonderful prospect, it was a disturbing thought because somehow I felt my life hasn’t even started yet.

Soon afterwards, I prayed again, asking Jesus to explain to me why I saw Him like that. He gave me Daniel 7:13: I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. (NKJV)

Suddenly I felt so ashamed to have thought that He would personally come to fetch me. He uses angels to do that.

He is on His way here to the Ancient of Days! In the Book of Daniel, the Ancient of Days refers to God.

Something did not add up. God is in heaven. Why would Jesus come down to earth to meet the Ancient of Days here?

While I was thinking about this, He gave me the answer – The Ancient of Days in this instance is the Holy Spirit!

Before Jesus left the disciples, He told them they shall receive the Holy Spirit and power and shall be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was sent down to indwell the believers on earth (Acts 2).

Jesus was actually telling me that the time for Him to return is near. Secondly, He is coming to meet the Holy Spirit, the Ancient of Days!

I always thought of Jesus returning to come and fetch us. However, we tend to forget that the Ancient of Days is outside of heaven for more than 2000 years! He is still patiently waiting, willing to stay with us, until Jesus comes again!

Praise the Spirit of God! Praise and worship Him! Surrender completely into His arms and commit into His love and presence! He deserves it!

Make most of it because our time to be with Him in this way is running out fast.
