As I looked,<\/p>\n
thrones were placed
\n and one that was ancient of days took his seat;
\nhis raiment was white as snow,
\n and the hair of his head like pure wool;
\nhis throne was fiery flames,
\n its wheels were burning fire.
\nA stream of fire issued
\n and came forth from before him;
\na thousand thousands served him,
\n and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
\nthe court sat in judgment,
\n and the books were opened.<\/p>\n
I looked then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. I saw in the night visions,<\/p>\n
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
\n there came one like a son of man,
\nand he came to the Ancient of Days
\n and was presented before him.
\nAnd to him was given dominion
\n and glory and kingdom,
\nthat all peoples, nations, and languages
\n should serve him;
\nhis dominion is an everlasting dominion,
\n which shall not pass away,
\nand his kingdom one
\n that shall not be destroyed.<\/p>\n
–Daniel 7:9-14<\/p>\n
\nToday is the feast of the Ascension. At East Harling, Norfolk, late 15th Century glass shows Mary and the disciples watching Christ carried up to heaven by angels, leaving his footprints on the mountain top and just his nail-scarred feet in view.<\/p>\n
