“Older than dirt” can be REVERENTLY said of God. He made the ground and everything else. “How old is God” someone might ask? Since God is beyond the limits of time as we know it with no “starting point” we can’t say that God is a certain age. However, in the book of Daniel, God is represented by the title “Ancient of Days”. Many believe He is just as powerful as He ever was and always will be!
I am looking forward to us joining together to exult and glorify the “Ancient of Days”!
See you Sunday.
1. Job’s friend, Elihu, sums up the challenge of understanding God’s eternality. Job 36:26
2. What other name of God is indicative of His eternality? Exodus 3:13-15; John 8:58
3. As you study the Daniel passage do you think the title “Ancient of Days” is particularly linked to a certain person in the Trinity?
4. “Ancient” can convey the idea of wisdom as we read Paul’s doxology in Romans 11:33-36.
5. Notice the difference between God’s wisdom and this world’s wisdom. I Corinthians 1:18-21
6. The Israelites were taught to respect their elders Leviticus 19:32. How do we show respect to those who are older?
7. Notice the color worn by the “Ancient of Days”. Would you say that color is dominant in Heaven? Revelation 4:4; 6:11; 7:9
8. Do you know any hymns of spiritual songs with the phrase of praise “Ancient of Days”?
