The Ancient is the name given to God by the prophet Daniel (7:9,13,22) contrasting his everlasting powers with the fragile existence of the empires of the world. It is from these descriptions of the Almighty that the Christian art got its general way to represent the first person of the Holy Trinity. "Ancient of days" is expressed in Aramaic as Attiq Yomin. He is God, the supreme authority, and the day will come when he will judge all the nations.
