Reading for June 19th

Read Daniel 7.9-14
An Ancient One (literally, "One Ancient of Days"): God.
The portrayal of the divine court builds upon traditions in 1 Kings 22; Isa 6; Ezek 1; Ps 82; Job 1.
In verse 13 One like a human being: Literally, "one like a son of man" (compare "mortal," literally, "son of man/Adam," in Ezek 2.1), a designation for a human being, in this case a messiah figure who will rule the world as king.
