10:2. In those days I, Daniel, mourned the days of three weeks.
10:3. I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine, entered
into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of
three weeks were accomplished.
10:4. And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, I was by the
great river, which is the Tigris.
10:5. And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in
linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold:
10:6. And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the
appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms,
and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering
brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude.
10:7. And I, Daniel alone, saw the vision: for the men that were with me
saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled
away, and hid themselves.
10:8. And I, being left alone, saw this great vision: and there remained
no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in
me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
10:9. And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard I lay in a
consternation upon my face, and my face was close to the ground.
10:10. And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and
upon the joints of my hands.
10:11. And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the
words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to
thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
10:12. And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that
thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight
of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.
10:13. But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and
twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help
me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.
The prince, etc... That is, the angel guardian of Persia: who according
to his office, seeking the spiritual good of the Persians was desirous
that many of the Jews should remain among them.
10:14. But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people
in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
10:15. And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my
countenance to the ground, and held my peace.
10:16. And behold as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my
lips: then I opened my mouth and spoke, and said to him that stood
before me: O my lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no
strength hath remained in me.
10:17. And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no
strength remaineth in me; moreover, my breath is stopped.
10:18. Therefore, he that looked like a man, touched me again, and
strengthened me.
10:19. And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take
courage, and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong, and I
said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me.
10:20. And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? And now
I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went
forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming.
10:21. But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth:
and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.
Michael your prince... The guardian general of the church of God.
Daniel Chapter 11
The angel declares to Daniel many things to come, with regard to the
Persian and Grecian kings: more especially with regard to Antiochus as a
figure of Antichrist.
