DANIEL CHAPTER 7
"THE ANCIENT OF DAYS"
GOD, THE FATHER
There was a time in eternity when God said to his Son "Let us make man in our own image" (1), a Son who daily was His Father's delight (2), and the express image of His Father's person (3), upon whom God bestowed great honour as the active principle in the creation of all things - the worlds, man and woman, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."(4) They were created by him and for him (5). The crowning act of his creation on the sixth day was Eve and God saw everything that he had made and it was very good. (6)
Into this perfect world (7), came the fallen angel, Lucifer, who caused the fall of the Son's creation (8). Adam and Eve had sinned against their maker and the record states that the wages of sin is death (9). They were banished from the garden to till the ground (10). Not for a moment did the Son study his own convenience in coming to this earth because as soon as there was sin, there was a saviour. The Son of God volunteered to lay down his life in the place of Adam and Eve's and so the counsel of peace was between them both, between Father and the Son (11)
Hence it is written: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (12) The Father allowed his son to come to this world to take on the form and nature of fallen man (13) to rescue fallen 'man'.
