HE UNDERSTOOD THE FIRST PART BUT HE HAD HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE SECOND PART.
Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long (A LONG WARFARE): and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
THIS IS TWO YEARS LATER THAN CHAPTER NINE. THIS IS DANIEL'S LATEST DATE; WHICH CONTINUES TO THE END OF THIS BOOK, SEVENTY-THREE YEARS SINCE HIS DEPORTATION: HE BEING NOW EIGHTY-NINE YEARS OLD.
THIS CYRUS WILL GIVE THE ORDER TO REBUILT THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM.
10:2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
10:4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month (PASSOVER TIME), as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel (THE TIGRIS RIVER);
THE 8 YEAR IRAN-IRAQ WAR WAS IN THAT AREA OF TIGRIS AND ALSO THE DESSERT STORM WAR.
10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a strong multitude (A STRONG VOICE).
THIS IS AN ANGEL AND GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH THIS ANGEL.
10:7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
THIS VISION WAS ONLY MEANT FOR DANIEL TO SEE.
10:8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
THE HEBREW TEXTS SAY, 'MY HEALTHY APPEARANCE WENT AWAY, AND I LOOKED MORE LIKE A FIGURE OF DEATH THAN LIFE.'
10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
DANIEL PASSED OUT. HE COULDN'T BARE THE FACE OF GOD.
10:10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
THE ANGEL HELPED HIM TO STAND UP AND A LITTLE STRENGTH CAME BACK TO HIM.
10:11 And he said unto me, 'O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright (STAND UP WHERE YOU ARE); for unto thee am I now sent.' And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
10:12 Then said he unto me, 'Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten (HUMBLE) thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days (WAS STANDING CONFRONTING ME): but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained (I LEFT HIM THERE) there with the kings of Persia.
THE RULERS MAYBE GOOD, ANGELIC (GOOD OR EVIL).
THIS IS AN END TIME PROPHECY. HE IS PREPARING US MENTALLY FOR THE END TIME.
PRINCE OF PERSIA=CYRUS.
PRINCE OF THIS WORLD=SATAN.
MICHAEL (WHO IS LIKE GOD IN THE HEBREW) IS THE RESTRAINER. THE SECOND ANGEL NAMED IN THIS BOOK. THE SPECIAL ANGELIC RULER FOR ISRAEL.
10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy People in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days."
THIS IS FUTURE.
10:15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
HE COULD NOT SPEAK.
MAKE A NOTE OF PSALMS 139:2, 9.
10:16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, 'O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
HE IS BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THIS VISION A LITTLE BIT.
HE DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST ONE.
10:17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.'
HOW CAN I SPEAK TO YOU, A SUPERNATURAL BEING ?
10:18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me (STRENGTH FOR ENDURANCE IN THE HEBREW),
10:19 And said, 'Oman greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'
10:20 Then said he, 'Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee (HE DIDN'T)? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia (SATAN IS THE PRINCE OF PERSIA IN THE FUTURE. MICHAEL IS THE ONE WHO KICKS HIM AND HIS ANGELS OUT OF HEAVEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE; REV. 12:7-9): and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia (ALEXANDER) shall come.
10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
WARNING: BEWARE OF THE ONES WHO SAY GOD SPEAKS TO ME. IF GOD SPEAKS TO SOMEONE HE OR SHE WOULDN'T BE STANDING. DANIEL PASSED OUT MORE THAN ONCE, HIS STRENGTH WAS GONE, BECAUSE HE COULDN'T HANDLE THE SUPERNATURAL.
GOD BLESS
