River of Fire

“A river of fire was flowing and coming forth from before him…”
Daniel 7:10

This aspect of the vision points us back to Jacob’s ladder, which had angels ascending and descending upon it (Genesis 28:12). These are angels who bear the flaming sword of Genesis 3, which bars mankind from paradise, but which also mediates between God and mankind when it comes down from His throne to light the fire on His earthly altar (Leviticus 9:24; 2 Chronicles 7:1). Fulfilling the prophecy, it is the fire that came down from Jesus on the day of Pentecost to light the fire on His new altar-people (Acts 2), which is pictured again in Revelation 8:3-5.
