Daniel is Weak & Speechless After His Vision |
Daniel 10:1-21 The Book of Daniel [in Smaller Chunks] |
[During] the 3rd year, Cyrus, [Persia's] king, [ruled,] a thing was revealed to Daniel, [who] was called Belteshazzar. And the thing was true. But the time appointed [for it,] was long [off.] And [Daniel] understood the thing, & had understanding of the vision. |
[During] those days, I, Daniel, was mourning 3 full weeks. I ate no [desirable food,] & neither [did any] [meat, nor wine [enter] my mouth. Neither did I anoint myself at all, [until] 3 whole weeks were [finished.] |
And [on] the 24th day, of the 1st month, I was by the side of the great river, which is Hid Dekel, [a.k.a. The Tigris River.] Then, I lifted up [my] eyes, looked, & [saw] a certain man, clothed in linen, whose [waist was strapped] with [the] fine gold of Uphaz. |
His body was like: beryl, [a.k.a. topaz.] And His face, [like] the [resemblance] of lighting, & His eyes, [like] lamps of fire. And His arms & His feet, [were] [similar] to polished brass in color. And the [sound] of His words, [were] like the [voices] of a multitude. |
[Revelation 1:13-15 And in the midst of the 7 candlesticks, One, [similar] to the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the [feet,] & [was] [strapped around] the [chest,] with a golden [band.] |
His head & His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; & His eyes were [like] a flame of fire. And His feet [were similar] to fine brass; [like] if they [had been] burned in a furnace. And His voice was [like] the sound of many waters.] |
And I, Daniel, alone, saw the vision: for the men, [who] were with me, [didn't see] the vision. But great [shaking] [& terror] fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore, I was left alone & saw this great vision, but no strength remained in me there. |
For my [physical] strength in me, [turned] into [weakness,] & I retained no strength. [Still,] I heard the [sound] of His Words, & when I heard the [sound] of His Words, I was in a deep sleep on my face then, & my face [was] toward the ground. |
And, [felt] a hand touched me, which [put] me [up] upon my knees & upon the palms of my hands. And He said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the Words that I speak to you, & stand upright. For I am now sent to you. And when He had spoken this to me, I stood trembling. |
Then, He said to me, [Don't] fear, Daniel. For from the 1st fay, that you [focused] your heart to understand, & to [humble] yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I [have] come, [because of] your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia, withstood, [a.k.a. resisted,] Me 21 days. |
But, [look,] Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help Me. And I remained there with the kings of Persia. [Jude 9 [Still,] Michael, the ArchAngel, when [quarreling] with the devil, [who] disputed about the body of Moses, & [dared] not bring against him a [slanderous] accusation, but said, The Lord [rebukes] you.] |
Now, I [have] come to make you understand what shall [happen to] your people in the latter days; for the vision is for many days yet. And when he had spoken such Words to me, I [put] my face toward the ground, & I became [speechless.] And, [saw] One similar to] the Sons of Men, touched my lips. |
Then, I opened my mouth, & [spoke] & said to Him, [Who] stood [in front of] me, O my Lord, my sorrows are turned upon me & I haven't retained [any] strength, [because of] the vision. |
[Daniel 8:13 Then, I heard one saint, [a.k.a. Holy one,] speaking, & another saint said to that [same] saint, [who spoke,] How long shall the vision be, [about] the daily sacrifice & the transgression, [a.k.a. abomination,] of desolation, to give both the sanctuary & the Host, [a.k.a God's people,] to be [trampled] under foot?] |
For my Lord, how can this, the servant of my Lord, talk with [You, now?] As for me, [immediately,] there remained no strength in me & neither is there [any] breath left in me. |
Then, again, One, like the appearance of a man came there & touched me, & He strengthened me. And [He] said, O man, greatly beloved, [don't] fear. Peace be to you & be strong. [Yes,] be strong. And when He had spoken to me, I was strengthened, & said, Let my Lord speak; for You [have] strengthened me. |
Then, He said, [Do] you know [why] I [came] to you? And now, I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. And when I have gone [out, look,] the prince of [Greece] shall come. |
But I will [show] you [what] is noted in the Scripture of Truth. And there [are] none, [who] holds [tight to] these things with me, [except] Michael, your prince, [a.k.a. ArchAngel.] |
