WHY THE SONG OF GOD CALLS ARCHANGEL MICHAEL “ANCIENT OF DAYS”

A Key to Mystical Titles, Cosmic Offices, and Spiritual Reality

Many people read spiritual texts as if every title must mean one literal identity.

But books like The Song of God do not always work that way.

They speak in mystical language, where a name can mean:

• a function

• an office

• a principle

• a cosmic rank

• an eternal archetype

So when The Song of God refers to Archangel Michael as “Ancient of Days”, it does not automatically mean the author is making a simple biblical equation.

It means something deeper:

Michael is presented as an ancient, primordial power — the timeless Executor of Divine Order.

And this is one of the most important keys you can learn if you want to read spiritual books correctly and safely.

THE TITLE “ANCIENT OF DAYS” — WHAT IT REALLY MEANS

In mainstream biblical reference, the phrase Ancient of Days appears in the Book of Daniel (Daniel 7).

Traditionally, it symbolizes:

• Eternal authority

• Timeless judgment

• The throne-principle of divine rule

• Source beyond time

But mystical texts often expand titles beyond one fixed use.

Because what matters isn’t “who owns the title”…

What matters is the force the title points to.

SO WHY DOES THE SONG OF GOD APPLY IT TO MICHAEL?

Because in The Song of God, Michael is not presented as “just an angel.”

He is presented as:

• The Defender of Divine Law

• The Eternal Protector of the Soul-stream

• The Supreme Guardian of Order

• The one who stands closest to the Divine Throne-function

So calling Michael “Ancient of Days” is not meant to confuse God with an angel…

It is meant to reveal:

Michael’s office is ancient.
His authority is ancient.
His function is older than human history.

In other words:

✅ Michael is “Ancient of Days” as a title of timeless rank.

THE CLEAN RECONCILIATION (NO CONFUSION REQUIRED)

Here is the most balanced and correct way to hold both truths:

1) Ancient of Days as Eternal Source

This is the Throne-principle:

• pure timeless being

• beyond form

• beyond created hierarchy

• beyond angelic identity

2) Michael as “Ancient of Days” by Office

This means:

• an ancient cosmic being

• the first-line guardian

• the executor of divine order

• the defender of the soul against distortion

So we could say it like this:

Ancient of Days = the Eternal Authority
Michael = the Ancient Authority in Action

This keeps the teaching powerful without collapsing into literal identity confusion.

WHY THIS MATTERS (SPIRITUAL SAFETY & CLARITY)

When people read titles literally without inner keys, they fall into one of two traps:

Trap 1: Spiritual dismissal

They say:

“That’s nonsense.”

But it’s not nonsense — it’s a symbolic language.

Trap 2: Spiritual inflation

They say:

“Then I must be Michael.”
“I must be Jesus.”
“I am the Ancient of Days.”

And this is where spiritual confusion begins.

Because the truth is:

Archetypes and divine offices can move through many souls — without any one person owning the identity.

---

THE MYSTICAL KEY: TITLE ≠ IDENTITY

In the ancient inner schools, initiates were trained to understand:

• Name can mean “power”

• Title can mean “function”

• Being can mean “principle”

• Vision can mean “inner revelation”

• Presence can be real without being literal biography

This is why The Song of God can speak boldly and still be interpreted cleanly.

THE COOK UNIVERSAL KEY (EPIPHENOMENON OF SOUL)

In your system, this becomes even clearer.

Because the epiphenomenon of soul shows the truth that:

• the soul contains layers

• the personality is not the whole being

• archetypal powers interface with the mind

• awakening is the reorganization of inner forces

So Michael, in this framework, is:

Michael = The Protector Function of the Infinite Source

Michael is the sword of discernment inside the soul:

• truth against illusion

• protection against fear

• order against chaos

• stability during transformation

Not “ego power”…

but soul authority.

This is why when Michael-energy activates, you feel:

• clearer

• calmer

• stronger

• more disciplined

• more spiritually anchored

That’s Michael operating correctly.

A SIMPLE WAY TO SAY IT PUBLICLY (WITHOUT DRAMA)

If you ever need a clean public statement for your ministry pages:

“In The Song of God, Archangel Michael is called ‘Ancient of Days’ as a mystical title of timeless spiritual office — the eternal guardian of divine order. This does not mean Michael is Source itself, but that he embodies the ancient authority of divine protection.”

That’s safe, strong, and unarguable.

---

CLOSING: THE THRONE AND THE SWORD

The Ancient of Days is the Throne.
Michael is the Sword.

The Throne is Eternal Being.
The Sword is Eternal Order.

And when a soul awakens, it does not become the Throne…

It learns to stand under the Throne with a purified will.

That is the true dignity of the path.
