The name Ancient of Days is used in the Cabala to denote Kether,
first of the sefiroth, as well as Macrosopus (God as He Is in Himself).
It also denotes the “holy ones of the highest,” and in Daniel (7:9) it is
used to refer to God. In The Divine Names, Ancient of Days, which
has also been used to refer to Israel, is defined by Dionysius the Areopagite
as “both the Eternity and the Time of all things prior to days
and eternity and time.” William Blake refers to the Ancient of Days as Urizen, the figure of Jehovah. The Ancient of Days is also the title of one of Blake’s most
famous illustrations.
