Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 7:13 עֲנָנֵ֣י [the] clouds of

    In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.

    Here: 'The clouds of'. In Israel's scriptures clouds are the standard vehicle and covering of God's presence. This marks the figure as coming from God's realm, not from below.
