Daniel 10

10
Daniel’s Vision of a Man
1#Da 1:7; 1:21In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar, and the message was true and one of great conflict. And he understood the message and had understanding of the vision.
2#Ezr 9:4–5; Ne 1:4In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 3#Da 6:18; Mt 6:17I ate no tasty food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4#Ge 2:14; Eze 1:3On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river which is Tigris, 5#Jer 10:9; Eze 9:2I lifted up my eyes and looked and saw a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with the fine gold of Uphaz. 6#Rev 19:12; Eze 1:14His body also was like beryl, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet were like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a tumult.
7#Ac 9:7; Eze 12:18I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, while the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. 8#Da 7:28; 8:27Therefore I was left alone and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me, and my countenance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength. 9#Da 8:18; Ge 15:12Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words, then I was in a deep sleep on my face with my face toward the ground.
Prophecies of Persia and Greece
10#Jer 1:9; Da 8:18But then a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands. 11#Eze 2:1; Da 8:16–17He said to me, “O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you now.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
12#Ac 10:30–31; Da 9:20–23Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. For from the first day that you set your heart to understand this and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words. 13#Da 12:1; Jude 1:9; Rev 12:7But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. So Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. 14#Da 2:28; 8:26Now I have come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days. For the vision is yet for many days.”
15#Eze 24:27; Lk 1:20When he had spoken such words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became mute. 16#Isa 6:7; Da 8:15Then one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, because of the vision, sorrows have come upon me, and I have retained no strength. 17#Ex 24:10–11; Isa 6:1–5How can the servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? And as for me, there remains no strength in me now, nor is there any breath left in me.”
18#Da 10:16; Isa 35:3–4Then again, the one having the appearance of a man came and touched me, and he strengthened me. 19#Jos 1:9; Jdg 6:23He said, “O man, greatly beloved, do not fear. Peace be unto you. Be strong and courageous!”
When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
20#Da 8:21; 10:13Then he said, “Do you understand why I have come to you? But now I shall return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, then truly the prince of Greece will come. 21#Da 10:13; 12:1; Jude 1:9But I will show you what is inscribed in the Scripture of Truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces, except Michael your prince.
