In Orthodox theology, the Ancient of Days is understood as the Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity.

In Daniel's prophecy, the Son of God appears as a distinct figure who approaches the Ancient of Days.

However, they are actually meant to be the same person.

How does Orthodox theology clarify this interesting situation?

Why would the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man as appearing in Daniel be the same person? God the Father is not a human being, so I would never use the word 'person' for Him in this day and age (that would cause confusion given the definition of 'person' in any English dictionary). The ancient of Days and the Son of Man in this passage obviously are two distinct beings/identities though - and that's fully Biblical; one can see the same pattern in Psalm 110:1, and several others ..

lol How do you think components work? I even gave you the way out by telling you about the calculations for space flight and yet you decided to respond with nonsense. And now you are also a moon landing denier? Tin foil hat anyone?

BTW- the government dd not loose the “knowledge“ to go to the moon.

I’m an engineer. I worked for Boing in the 80’s on components for the space shuttle. I know scientifically and by observation that the earth is a sphere. All calculations for space flight are based on a spherical earth. So yes, I know for a fact that the earth is a sphere.

I agree that Elohim can be translated as angels from the Hebrew. But the actual meaning depends on the context of what Elohim refers to. For example, God is not an angel.

I have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe you can unpack this a bit?

The curse that the Lord is referring to can be found in Deuteronomy 28th chapter verses 15 through the end of the chapter. Who are the reproaches that the Lord gave Israel to? "And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.” (Jeremiah 27: 6-7)

Not only did Israel have to serve Nebuchadnezzar for their transgressions, but also all nations had to serve him, and his son, and his son's son. As I stated earlier, as Israel goes, so goes the whole world. Who is Nebuchadnezzar and his sons? Nebuchadnezzar was the first Gentile world ruler and his kingdom was Babylon, which was represented by a Lion. Then followed the Medes and Persians (modern day Russia and Iran) which was represented by a Bear. Then followed the Greeks, which is represented by the Leopard. Then finally came Rome, which is currently in control of the world now and is represented as the wild beast or terrible beast. "Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.” (Hosea 13: 7-11)

Jesus is the king of Israel, “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgins' name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, “Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” (St. Luke 1: 26-33)

Just admit that you personally do not know and that you trust those who tell you the earth is a globe.

Jesus boiled it all down to 2 commandments, the second of which is God's will for all mankind. Love all as self... kindness (not selfishness).

Click to expand...

Yes, kindness is not selfishness but it considers what is best for others even if it means being rejected by those we love.

ChubbyCherub said:

It is so refreshing to see this view put here...I think far too many of us conflate 'kindness' with 'acceptance' of sin and tolerance etc to the point where we have forgotten what following Christ means.

We are not supposed to 'tolerate' sin.

We are supposed to call it out, challenge it and guide people to Christ who loves them enough to see them OUT of sin. There are consquences to sin. God's kindness wants to remove those from us! He does not tolerate nor accept sin in any capacity!

I don't know when this alternative Christian viewpoint came from but it is unbiblical and wrong.

It's good to see that some still see the truth and endeavor to share it with others.

Thank you!

Glory to God. Thank you for sharing that with me. I agree.

The Geneva Conventions do not create a blanket prohibition of the killing of civilians in combat.

Collateral damage which result in death to civilians will occur in armed conflicts but we are not talking about that.

The Coast Guard and Navy are highly trained in how to stop alleged drug smugglers at sea. They do it hundreds of times every year. Very few result in deaths. They know what they are doing and what is expected of them.

Now, because Trump wants to blow boats up, instead of stopping them and arresting those on board, we see murder occurring.

Anyone of those boats could have been stopped and boarded, to confirm they were operating illegally.

Description of Jesus Christ in Revelation 1:

12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands. 13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man,clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. 16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

I agree. You can't make something great again if it was never great to start with.

Name your favorite Mickey Mouse joke. Name his best catch-phrase. You can't because he doesn't have any. He's utterly lame. That kid who said "What you talkin' about Willis?" was more entertaining.

People want to blame international Jewry for all our woes. I blame the French. The French said Walt Disney was a genius. They said Jerry Lewis was a genius. They gave us fully evolved postmodernism. They are very dangerous trolls. I can totally get away with posting this because I'm half French on my mother's side. Mickey Mouse smiles when children are endangered.
