That’s ancient!

The young use ancient as a derogatory term. Analog clocks, rotary dial telephones and black & white televisions quickly come to mind. I’m not so young; to be honest I’m pretty old. I could use ancient in describing coonskin coats, flapper style dresses, hats and megaphones. What about lip and cheek rouge? Lipstick and blush took their place long ago.

My favorite oldies from the 60’s are now played back home on a radio station using Dinosaur Radio as their logo. I went into the broadcasting profession back in the 1970’s. Years later, I worked at a well used station control board. It was eventually replaced with state of the art equipment. One day, they took the one I remembered out of storage. It was on display in a county fair booth and labeled Dinosaur.

That wasn’t a compliment.

In vast contrast, I worship and praise God the Father as Ancient of Days.

“As I looked,

thrones were placed,
    and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
    and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
    its wheels were burning fire.
A stream of fire issued
    and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
    and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
    and the books were opened (Daniel 7:9-10 ESV).”

Our worship of the Ancient of Days is never outdated.
