Atik Yomin — Ancient of Days

עַתִּיק יוֹמִין

Atik Yomin — pronounced ah-TEEK yo-MEEN · appears 3 times · Strong's H6268

The Ancient of Days — Daniel's Aramaic throne-vision title: white garments, hair like pure wool, a river of fire.

Jewish mysticism made Atik Yomin a name for God's most hidden depth. Christian readers notice with awe that Revelation dresses Yeshua in the Ancient of Days' own description — Daniel 7's two figures seen as one glory.
