Daniel 10 Commentary

During the reign of King Cyrus, Daniel receives another message from God about a great conflict in the future.

Daniel sees a vision of a man dressed in wealthy clothing, whose skin and eyes are shining and dazzling. Daniel faints when he sees this heavenly visitor.

The angel revives Daniel and tells him he has come to give Daniel a message from God in answer to Daniel's prayers. A demon had prevented the angel for three weeks from reaching Daniel. The angel's message is about Israel and the future.

Daniel feels unworthy of being visited by this angelic messenger. The angel reassures Daniel that he is esteemed by God and should be courageous. He strengthens Daniel and begins to tell him the message about Israel's future.
