Judgment of the Fourth Animal

⁹“As I was looking, thrones were put in their places,
    and the Ancient King^[a] sat on his throne.
His clothes were as white as snow.
    His hair was as white as wool.
His throne was made from fire,^[b]
    and its wheels were made from flames.

    from in front of the Ancient King.
Millions of people were serving him.
    Hundreds of millions of people stood in front of him.
