Key Grammatical Observations:¶
-
Direction of "coming": The Son of man comes 'ad (to/unto) the Ancient of Days — the preposition 'ad indicates movement TOWARD God, not toward earth. This is an upward/heavenly movement.
-
"ateh hawah" = periphrastic construction (participle + auxiliary "was") = "was coming" — ongoing action, not a single moment.
-
"metah" = "arrived/reached" — peal perfect of mt', indicating completed arrival at the Ancient of Days.
-
"haqrebuhi" = haf'el (causative) of qrb ("approach") with 3mp subject + 3ms suffix = "they brought him near [before him]." Third-person plural subject = heavenly attendants bringing the Son of man into God's presence.
-
The entire scene is a THRONE ROOM / JUDGMENT scene (cf. Dan 7:9-10): The Son of man approaches God to RECEIVE dominion (v.14), not to execute it on earth. The "coming" here is an enthronement, not a descent to earth.
