europe a prophecy
in eastern orthodox christian hymns and icons, the ancient of days is sometimes identified with god the father or occasionally the holy spirit; but most properly, in accordance with orthodox theology he is identified with god the son, or jesus. most of the eastern church fathers who comment on the passage in daniel (7:9-10, 13-14) interpreted the elderly figure as a prophetic revelation of the son before his physical incarnation. as such, eastern christian art will sometimes portray jesus christ as an old man, the ancient of days, to show symbolically that he existed from all eternity, and sometimes as a young man, or wise baby, to portray him as he was incarnate. this iconography emerged in the 6th century, mostly in the eastern empire with elderly images, although usually not properly or specifically identified as "the ancient of days." the first images of the ancient of days, so named with an inscription, were developed by iconographers in different manuscripts, the earliest of which are dated to the 11th century. the images in these manuscripts included the inscription "jesus christ, ancient of days," confirming that this was a way to identify christ as pre-eternal with the god the father. indeed, later, it was declared by the russian orthodox church at the great synod of moscow in 1667 that the ancient of days was the son and not the father.
