Daniel 10:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 10:13

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.

12 Then he said to me, ^a“Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, ^byour words were heard; and I have come because of your words.

13 ^aBut the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, ^bMichael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.

14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people ^ain the latter days, ^bfor the vision refers to many days yet to come.”

15 When he had spoken such words to me, ^aI turned my face toward the ground and became speechless.

16 And suddenly, ^aone having the likeness of the¹ sons of men ^btouched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision ^cmy sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength.
