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.

Barnes' Notes
<< Daniel 10:13   Daniel 10:15 >>


Daniel 10:14

Now I am come to make thee understand ... - After these long delays, and after the arrangements have been made necessary to bring about the objects sought by your prayers.

In the latter days - In future times - extending down to the last period of the world. See the notes at Isaiah 2:2.

For yet the vision is for many days - Extends far into future time. It is probable that the prayer of Daniel referred more particularly to what he desired should soon occur - the restoration of the people to their own land; the angel informs him that the disclosures which he was to make covered a much more extended period, and embraced more important events. So it is often. The answer to prayer often includes much more than we asked for, and the abundant blessings that are conferred, beyond what we supplicate, are vastly beyond a compensation for the delay.
