First Reading for Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels

Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14

Summary: The Ancient One sits on His fiery throne, and a son of man comes before Him, receiving everlasting dominion and glory, with all nations serving Him.

Vision of the Son of Man

As I watched:

Thrones were set up and the Ancient One took his throne. His clothing was bright as snow, and the hair on his head as white as wool;

His throne was flames of fire, with wheels of burning fire. A surging stream of fire flowed out from where he sat; Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him, and myriads upon myriads attended him.

The court was convened, and the books were opened. As the visions during the night continued, I saw

One like a son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven;
When he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him,
He received dominion, glory, and kingship; nations and peoples of every language serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed.
