DANIEL IS GIVEN A REVELATION
Keywords 10:12
Then he continued, "Do not
be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain
understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard,
and I have come in response to them.
1. The vision of a
man (1-14)
The fi rst group of
exiles had returned to Jerusalem by the third year of Cyrus.
They meant to rebuild
the temple, but the devil hindered this work in every
possible way. The
real battle was a spiritual one, so Daniel set his mind to gain
understanding and to
humble himself before God. The vision of a great war
terrified him, for he
had no strength to fight. But when he sought God with all
his heart, one like
Christ came and strengthened him. The Devil tried to hinder
Daniel’s prayer by detaining
this one who came to Daniel.
2. A healing touch
(15-11:1)
The man had come to
give Daniel God’s word and teach him
about the future.
God is the Sovereign
Ruler of men and nations. Daniel had no strength to listen
to God’s word, but the man
again touched Daniel and gave him strength. Daniel
learned that God
gives victory when there is one who prays.
Prayer Lord, give me
spiritual strength to pray; open my eyes to see Christ.
One Word Humble yourself and
seek God
