Daniel7:9
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down , and the ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow , and the hair of his head like the pure wool ; his throne was like the fiery fl[illegible: 1 letter]mes , and his wheels as burning fire .
By Thrones cast down must be meant the Kingdoms of this World, destroyed by Christ the King, and judge of all, called the ancient of dayes because of his Eternal Deity: without beginning and end of dayes.
Thus Kings Vice-R[illegible: 1 letter]ys were clothed, Gen. 4[illegible: 1 letter].42. as Ioseph in fine Silk, and Mordecai, Esth. 8.15.
Rev. 1.14. Noting his innocence, and righteousness in Judgment, Isa. 42.4.
This notes his Majesty in Judgment, see Psal. 50.[illegible: 1 letter], 4. Mal. 4.1. Rev. 19.11, 12.
Arguing the greatest and most formidable state of the last Judge, and judgment: alluding to the Kings who had moveable Thrones, and they had wheeles, it notes also Gods swiftness in Judgment, Mal. 3.5.
