THE ANCIENT OF DAYS
The Eternal God Who Reigns Above Time, Rules Over Nations, and Never Changes
Introduction
Among the many glorious names of God revealed in Scripture, "The Ancient of Days" stands as one of the most majestic and awe-inspiring. This title reveals God as the Eternal One—the One who existed before creation, who rules over history, and who will remain forever when all earthly kingdoms have passed away.
The Ancient of Days is not old because He is weak; He is ancient because He is eternal. He has no beginning and no end. Before the mountains were formed, before the stars were hung in the heavens, before mankind breathed their first breath, He already was.
He is the God who never changes, never fails, never sleeps, never loses a battle, and never abandons His covenant people.
