6 THE WORD First Reading Daniel 7:9-10, The rophet Daniel sees a colorful and dramatic vision of an Ancient One, taking a throne, while a one like a human being comes to kneel before him. To this son of man is given power and dominion so that all nations should serve him. As I watched, thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne, his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and flowed out from his presence. A thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood attending him. The court sat in judgment, and the books were opened. As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a human being coming with the clouds of heaven. And he came to the Ancient One and was presented before him. To him was given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed. R The Word of God. The Word of Life. Thanks be to God. Second Reading Revelation 1: 4b-8 The apostle John sees a vision of the coming hrist, who is given glory and dominion forever. All will see, and be troubled by his coming, for he will be Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end of all things. Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus hrist, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood, and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Look! He is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail. So it is to be. Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. R The Word of God. The Word of Life. Thanks be to God. lease stand as you are able. 5 Lutheran hurch of the Incarnation
