One of the things we try to do on this podcast is address passages of scripture that

Trinitarians often use to try to disprove oneness theology.

So we want to talk about one of those passages today.

We want to talk about Daniel chapter 7.

So in Daniel 7, specifically we're looking at verses 9 through 28, Daniel sees this vision.

And in this vision, he describes two distinct figures.

He sees the first person that he sees is what he refers to as the ancient of days.

It's this majestic and throne being that's clothed in white hair

like wool. He's surrounded by fire. And the second being that he sees, he describes as one like

the son of man, who in the vision, he approaches the ancient of days, receives from him an everlasting

kingdom and dominion over all people. So, Trinitarian Christians will often point to this passage of

scripture and they'll say that the ancient of days is God the Father, son of man is, you know,

pre-incarnate Christ, and they use this to teach that there's two, at least two people, two persons

in the Godhead. How should we interpret Daniel chapter 7, though?

Who are the ancient of days and the son of man in this passage?

What in the world is going on in this vision?

Well, we need to take a close look at Daniel 7.

But before we do that, let's make sure our assumptions are correct, theological assumptions.

The Bible does not teach a second eternal person

the Godhead called son. In fact, the Bible nowhere says eternal son, but it says the begotten

son. The Bible nowhere says God, the son, as if that were a title of deity, but it's the son of God.

The scriptural definition of the Son of God is found in Luke
