Kabbalah su Daniele 7:9
חָזֵ֣ה הֲוֵ֗ית עַ֣ד דִּ֤י כָרְסָוָן֙ רְמִ֔יו וְעַתִּ֥יק יוֹמִ֖ין יְתִ֑ב לְבוּשֵׁ֣הּ ׀ כִּתְלַ֣ג חִוָּ֗ר וּשְׂעַ֤ר רֵאשֵׁהּ֙ כַּעֲמַ֣ר נְקֵ֔א כָּרְסְיֵהּ֙ שְׁבִיבִ֣ין דִּי־נ֔וּר גַּלְגִּלּ֖וֹהִי נ֥וּר דָּלִֽק׃
Vidi fino a quando furono posti i troni, e uno che era antico dei giorni si sedette: il suo vestito era come neve bianca e i capelli della sua testa come pura lana; Il suo trono era fiamme ardenti e le sue ruote ardevano fuoco.
Or Neerav
The poor man thinks that God is an old man, as it is written, the ancient of days sits, that he has white hair because of His great age, as it is written, the hair of his head like pure wool; and [that] He sits on a marvelous throne of fire which gives off flashes, as it is written, His throne was fiery flames (Dan. 7:9). [He thinks that] His appearance is similar to fire, as it is written, For the Lord your God is a consuming fire (Deut. 4:24, 9:3). There are other, similar fantasies which the fool believes in his mind, so that he anthropomorphizes God and [thus] falls into one of the traps which destroy [one’s] faith. His fear [of God] increases only on account of his imagination.1Cf. Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilkhot Yesodei ha-Torah 1:9; idem, Guide of the Perplexed 2.13 ff.

Zohar
"And Elohim said, 'Let Us make man'" (Beresheet 1:26), "The secret of Hashem is with them that fear Him" (Tehilim 25:14). The most venerated old man opened the discussion saying, Shimon, Shimon, who is he who said, "Let Us make man" and "And Elohim said," Who is this Elohim? In the meantime, that most respected of old men flew away and he could not see him. When Rabbi Shimon heard that he called him Shimon and not Rabbi Shimon, he said to his friends: This is indeed the Holy One, blessed be He, of whom it is said "and an ancient of days (Aramaic, Atik Yomin) did sit" (Daniel 7:9). Now is the time to reveal this secret, which was previously forbidden to be revealed. However, permission has now been granted to reveal it.

Zohar
When a person opens his lips during the weekdays at Arvit (the evening prayer), an eagle descends to carry the prayer of the night upon its wings. (This eagle is called) Nuriel. It is called Uriel from the aspect of Chesed and Nuriel from the aspect of Gevurah, which is a burning fire about which it is written: "A fiery stream issued and came forth" (Daniel 7:10).
