Daniel 10:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 10:18

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.

17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.”

18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.

19 ^aAnd he said, “O man greatly beloved, ^bfear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight ^awith the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come.

21 But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, ^aexcept Michael your prince.
