Ancient of Days Seated On The Throne
In those days I saw the Ancient of Days as he took his seat on the throne of his glory, and the books of the living were opened before him, and all his host, which was in the heights of heaven, and his court, were standing before him. And the hearts of the holy ones were filled with joy, for the number of the righteous was at hand; and the prayer of the righteous had been heard, and the blood of the righteous one had been required before the Lord of Spirits. For neither angel nor satan is able to hinder, for the Judge sees them all and judges them all in his presence. Wisdom found no place where she might dwell, so heaven became her dwelling-place. Wisdom went forth to dwell among the sons of men, but she found no dwelling. Wisdom returned to her place, and sat down among the angels.
Iniquity went forth from her chambers, those whom she did not seek she found, and she dwelt among them like rain in a desert and dew in a thirsty land. And in that place I saw the spring of righteousness, and it was inexhaustible, and many springs of wisdom surrounded it. And all the thirsty drank from them and were filled with wisdom; and their dwelling places were with the righteous and the holy and the elect. And at that hour, that Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and his name, before the Ancient of Days. Even before the sun and the moon were created, before the stars of the heavens were made, his name was named before the Lord of Spirits. He will be a staff for the righteous and the holy, that they may lean on him and not fall.
And he will be the light of the nations, and the hope for those who grieve in their hearts. All who dwell on the Earth will fall down and worship before him, and they will glorify and bless and sing hymns to him, to the Name of the Lord of Spirits. And for this reason he was chosen and hidden in his presence, before the world was created and forever in his presence. The wisdom of the Lord of Spirits has revealed him to the holy and the righteous; for he has preserved the portion of the righteous. For they have loathed and despised this age of unrighteousness; indeed, in the Name of the Lord of Spirits, they have loathed all its deeds and its ways. For in his Name they are saved, and he is the vindicator of their lives.
