"The Ancient of Days in Daniel 7:13  is God, the Father"


I think the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7:13 is God, the Father rather than Jesus Christ so I would have to disagree with the post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2013/gino817-4.htm  
 
The verse makes more sense if Daniel 7:13 is interpreted as , "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days (God, the Father), and they brought him (Jesus Christ) near before him (God, the Father." If Jesus Christ was both the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7:13, the verse would be interpreted as "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man (Jesus Christ) came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days (Jesus Christ), and they brought him (Jesus Christ) near before him (Jesus Christ).  Then Daniel 7:14 goes on to say, "And there was given him (Jesus Christ) dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed."
 
Also please note in 1 Enoch 46:1 at  http://www.inspiredbooks.com/enoch.htm  the Son of Man accompanies the Ancient of Days.  "There I beheld the Ancient of days, whose head was like white wool, and with him another, whose countenance resembled that of man. His countenance was full of grace, like that of one of the holy angels. Then I inquired of one of the angels, who went with me, and who showed me every secret thing, concerning this Son of
man;
who He was; whence He was; and why He accompanied the Ancient of days" (John. 17:3; Daniel. 7:9).
 
As for the description of Jesus Christ, the Son of Man in Rev. 1:13-14, "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;" matching the description of the Ancient of Days in "Daniel 7:9, "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire", is it not possible that both God, the Father and Jesus Christ both have hair as white as snow?
