I behld till the thrones were cast down] Revelation 20:4. Chald. till thrones were set up. On which Judges should sit, one throne for God, the other for the sonne of David. That this is the meaning, appears by the words following, also by conference of verses 10. 22. 26. That is, till God did enter into judgement against Epiphanes, for the deliverance and revenge of his people. A figurative description, as Psalms 7:67. &Psalms 9:4. 7. ancient of dayes did sit] A figurative representation of God which was before all times, and of his glorious majestie, set out unto us, as mans nature is able to apprehend some portion of his glory. and his wheels as burning fire] Gods throne is here described with wheels, 1 Chronicles 28:18. Ezekiel 1:15. &Ezekiel 10:9. to shew that Gods providence moveth every where, to govern all things, and provide for all things; and it points out Gods facilitie in executing his judgements.
