“I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
....And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
“And to Him was given dominion,
Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations and men of every language
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed." -Daniel 7
I often go to this passage and one in Revelation to refocus the events of the world I see. It's difficult, in the midst of the news all around, to have a sense of center, an awareness of someone who is ruling the events of man in spite of what I see. If all I saw was the world around me I would be in panic mode most of the time. But I know that there is a God in heaven, seated on the throne and that he has given dominion, glory and a kingdom to the one we know as Jesus. Knowing that calms my fears, focuses my vision and helps me as I live my days.
Who's in charge? God is. And for that I am most thankful.
