FAQ # 180

QUESTION  180 :  Is this a three person Trinity in scripture, “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him” (Dan 7:13)?

Firstly, Daniel saw a vision, “In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters” (Dan 7:1). When someone has a vision, it is to show what the indescribable is and not always the actual thing. For example, John saw a lamb in heaven with seven eyes and seven horns in description of Jesus (Rev 5:6). John here, like Daniel, was describing the indescribable. Jesus doesn’t have seven eyes and horns, neither is Jesus different from the “Ancient of days.” But for our understanding, he uses things we understand to make plain his will/plan (Rom 1:20). The “son of man” in Daniel 7 does represent a son of God and the “Ancient of days” do represent the God the father. However, as exhausted in the chapter “JESUS,” God the father is Jesus and Jesus is God the father. That is why the scripture says, “he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also” (1 John 2:23); or, even Jesus the son said, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9).
