THE ANCIENT of DAYS - ATIQ YOMIN

Ayin Taw Yod Qop

Yod Vav Mem Yod Nun











"ATIQ YOMIN is the Hebrew name for God meaning the Ancient Of Days.

God is referenced as the "Ancient of Days" three times in the book of Daniel, chapter seven.


The name Atik Yomin-The Ancient Of Days does not point to an elderly ruler made feeble by age, but to a DIVINE RULER who is ETERNALLY ALL-POWERFUL.


He is the EVERLASTING GOD who RULES in SOVEREIGNTY.

This NAME of GOD points to HIM as the DIVINE JUDGE.



DANIEL 7:9 AMP

“I kept looking Until thrones were set up,

And the ANCIENT of DAYS (GOD) took His seat;


His GARMENT was WHITE as snow And the hair of His head like PURE WOOL.


His THRONE was FLAMES of FIRE;

Its WHEELS were a BURNING FIRE.


We were meant to have back the dominion through Jesus Christ.


It gives us a true picture of our Eternal God.

He is and always has been and always will be.


GOD, the ANCIENT of DAYS had no predecessor and He never

will have a successor.


He had no beginning and He will have no end.


While everything around us changes, the Ancient of Days-Atiq Yomin remains the same."


Whatever we see with our physical eyes are temporary.

God doesn't change.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:6-7 TPT

That’s why WE’RE ALWAYS full of courage.

Even while we’re at home in the body,

we’re homesick to be with the Master—


for we LIVE by FAITH,

NOT BY what we see with our eyes.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:8-9 TPT

We live with a joyful confidence, yet at the same time we take

delight in the thought of leaving our bodies behind to be at home

with the Lord.


So whether we live or die -

WE make it our LIFE’S PASSION (our driving ambition)

TO LIVE our LIVES PLEASING to HIM.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:10 TPT

For ONE DAY we will all be OPENLY revealed before Christ on his throne so that each of us will be duly recompensed for our ACTIONS DONE in LIFE, whether good or worthless.


Walking in our own righteousness is also not pleasing.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:10 AMP

For we [believers will be called to account and] must all appear

before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be REPAID for -


WHAT has been DONE in the BODY, whether good or bad [that is,

each will be held responsible for his ACTIONS, PURPOSES, GOALS, MOTIVES —


the USE or MISUSE of his TIME, OPPORTUNITIES and ABILITIES].


We don't have to pay for our sins but God pay us.

Now, we just receive the rewards.


When God wants to reward us, is work done in the spirit and not flesh.


We will never be judged for the sin anymore.


God sees and He will reward us accordingly.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:11-12 NLT

Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord,

we WORK HARD to PERSUADE OTHERS.


God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too.

Are we commending ourselves to you again?


No, we are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so you can answer those who brag about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a SINCERE HEART.


Don't waste our time.

Use the time for eternity, for the Lord.

Work hard to bring others to the Lord.


Ministry is not about boasting.


Sincerity is very important.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:13-14 NLT

If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God.


And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit.

Either way, Christ’s love controls us.


Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.


To live is Christ, to die is gain (profit).


2 CORINTHIANS 5:15 NLT

He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life

will NO LONGER live for themselves.


Instead, they will LIVE FOR CHRIST, WHO DIED and was RAISED

for THEM.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-19 CEV

God has done it all!

He sent Christ to make peace between himself and us,

and he has given us the WORK of making peace between himself and others.


What we mean is that God was in Christ, offering peace and forgiveness to the people of this world.


And he has given us the WORK of SHARING HIS MESSAGE about peace.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 AMP

So we are AMBASSADORS for CHRIST,

as though God were making His appeal through us;


we [as Christ’s representatives] PLEAD with YOU on

BEHALF of CHRIST to be reconciled to God.


We are ambassadors for Christ.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:20-21 CEV

We were SENT to SPEAK for CHRIST, and God is begging you

to listen to our message.

We SPEAK FOR CHRIST and sincerely ask you to make peace with God.


Christ never sinned!

But God treated him as a sinner, so Christ could make us acceptable

to God.


Our God is the ancient of days.

Wait the ancient of days with joy anticipating our rewards.


Live a life of faith and not living in the temporarily realm.


Go and be the real ambassador for Christ.
