Daniel 7:10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
The setting
Still Babylon, ~553 BC. Daniel continues describing the heavenly courtroom. The 'books' represent detailed records of all earthly actions and kingdoms...
The emotion here: trembling at divine justice yet comforted by perfect order
The original word
sifrin (סִפְרִין) — scrolls or books, suggesting detailed written records, not arbitrary judgment
Why it matters
The number 'ten thousand times ten thousand' equals 100 million — larger than any earthly army
