ON DANIEL THE PROPHET
(Ang. Mai, Biblioth. nov. Patr. II, 467.)
A V, 2. This was nothing else than boasting against the glory of God, while he exalted himself against the protector of Israel, as if He had been able to benefit His own people in no way at all.
VII, 10. *The books were opened.* When the Only-Begotten appeared in our form, then the Father opened the books; and having omitted the condemnation of those guilty of sins, He provided an opportunity for men who act courageously to be inscribed and numbered henceforth among the choirs above and to be set down in the register.
VII, 13. What is it, *He came even to the Ancient of days*? Is the discourse about place? But would not this be absurd? Since God is not in a place, but fills all things. What then is, *He came even to the Ancient of days*? The Son came, clearly, into the glory of the Father. And from where is it possible to see this? He says again immediately after: *To Him was given honor and the kingdom.* For He heard the Father saying: *Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.* (Ps. CIX, 1).
