Daniel 10:5
Compare all
3 I ate no1 pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.  
4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the1 Tigris,  
5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in alinen, whose waist was bgirded with gold of Uphaz!  
6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, aand the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.  
7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my1 vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength.  
9 Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words I was in a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.

10 aSuddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands.  
11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, aman greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.

What Does Daniel 10:5 Mean?





Daniel 10:5

What did his clothing hang on, if the common conception of spirit as just an essence is true—that there is not really anything there? Casper the Friendly Ghost seems to be covered in a white sheet, and he goes flitting around, but he has no real form or shape there because that is the common conception of spirit—that there is really nothing there. But with angels, there is something there! Spirit beings have substance, though they are spirit. Notice, he even has a waist (or loins, KJV) as human beings do.
