The answer is: The Ancient of Days

Daniel 7:9

In Daniel’s remarkable vision, a figure known as the "Ancient of Days" takes center stage, showing up not just as a powerful presence, but as a symbol of timeless wisdom and divine authority. This ancient title really resonates with how we comprehend God in various traditions—immortal, all-powerful, and wise beyond measure. The visual description of the Ancient of Days furthers this idea: hair as white as snow symbolizes purity and holiness, while His throne blazing with fire highlights the awesome power associated with divinity.

Details in this vision invite thoughts beyond just the character itself. Throne room scenes can be found all across the Bible, invoking the majesty and sovereignty of God. You might recall Ezekiel 1, where the image of God’s Chariot Throne is thrillingly described, or Revelation 4, presenting a scene filled with vivid imagery similar to Daniel’s descriptions. Each setting enlivens the concepts of judgment and divine influence.

Interestingly, this “coming of age” in God’s symbolism with titles like "Ancient of Days" highlights a profound understanding of divine eternity as opposed to mortal time. And here’s a fun trivia nugget: the image represented a break from the chaos of earthly reigns, emphasizing that God operates on a plane untouched by human disputes and failings. Such images aren’t just mere descriptions; they reflect a broader, comforting understanding of the divine amidst the world's tumult. Daniel's inspired insight offers profound comfort in emphasizing eternal truths, inviting us to think bigger and broader about who’s really in charge!
