And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. 4 And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and †conversed with† the Lord of righteousness.

His attire was white like snow; the hair of his head was like lamb’s wool. His throne was ablaze with fire, and its wheels were all aflame. 10 A river of fire was streaming forth and proceeding from his presence. Many thousands were ministering to him; many tens of thousands stood ready to serve him. The court convened, and the books were opened.
