Topical Lexicon Scope of UsageSixteen Aramaic occurrences, all in Ezra and Daniel, depict movement toward authority—earthly kings in Babylon–Persia and the heavenly throne of the Ancient of Days. Each setting underscores God’s sovereign direction of history. Contexts in Ezra Ezra 4:12 records adversaries charging the returned exiles who “have come to us at Jerusalem,” portraying covenant people as threats to imperial order. Ezra 5:3 shows Persian officials arriving to question the builders, highlighting accountability. Ezra 5:16 contrasts with opposition as Sheshbazzar “came and laid the foundations of the house of God,” emphasizing legitimate, God-ordained access. Together these texts trace Israel’s divinely guided return and temple restoration. Contexts in Daniel Royal Court Scenes These appearances before kings become arenas for God to display supremacy. Apocalyptic Vision Daniel 7:13–14: “I saw One like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence”. Verse 22 affirms, “until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was pronounced in favor of the saints of the Most High.” The verb signals Christ’s exaltation and the saints’ vindication. Themes of Convergence and Access 1. Authority and Accountability—Every occurrence stresses answerability to a higher throne. Prophetic and Christological Dimensions Jesus cites Daniel 7:13 (e.g., Matthew 24:30), identifying Himself as the One “coming” to receive the kingdom. Acts 1:11 projects His future return in like manner, rooting New Testament hope in the Aramaic term’s eschatological force. Implications for Worship and Ministry • Invitation—Believers now “draw near” (Hebrews 10:22) because the ultimate approach has been accomplished by Christ. Summary Strong’s Hebrew 858 marks decisive approaches: exiles to Jerusalem, faithful servants before pagan thrones, and the Messiah to the Ancient of Days. Each usage advances God’s redemptive storyline and calls every generation to come before Him in obedient faith.
