This message was true and concerned a great war. He understood the message and gained insight by the vision.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, nor did I anoint myself with oil until the end of those three weeks.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>On the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was beside the great river, the Tigris. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>I looked up and saw a man clothed in linen; around his waist was a belt made of gold from Upaz. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>His body resembled yellow jasper, and his face had an appearance like lightning. His eyes were like blazing torches; his arms and feet had the gleam of polished bronze. His voice thundered forth like the sound of a large crowd.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men who were with me did not see it. On the contrary, they were overcome with fright and ran away to hide. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>I alone was left to see this great vision. My strength drained from me, and my vigor disappeared; I was without energy. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>I listened to his voice, and as I did so I fell into a trance-like sleep with my face to the ground. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Then a hand touched me and set me on my hands and knees. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He said to me, “Daniel, you are of great value. Understand the words that I am about to speak to you. So stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up shaking. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel, for from the very first day you applied your mind to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come in response to your words. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia was opposing me for twenty-one days. But Michael, one of the leading princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to future days.”</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>While he was saying this to me, I was flat on the ground and unable to speak. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Then one who appeared to be a human being was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>How, sir, am I able to speak with you? My strength is gone, and I am breathless.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Then the one who appeared to be a human being touched me again and strengthened me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>He said to me, “Don’t be afraid, you who are valued. Peace be to you! Be strong! Be really strong!” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Sir, you may speak now, for you have given me strength.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>He said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I am about to return to engage in battle with the prince of Persia. When I go, the prince of Greece is coming. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>However, I will first tell you what is written in a dependable book. (There is no one who strengthens me against these princes, except Michael your prince.</div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><a href="http://netbible.com/">NET Bible copyright © 1996-2006 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C. http://netbible.com.<br />Used by permission.
