Daniel 10
1. Daniel, having humbled himself, sees a vision.
10. Being troubled with fear, he is comforted by the angel.














Now I have come
This phrase signifies the arrival of a divine messenger, likely an angel, who has been sent by God. The Hebrew root for "come" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which often implies not just physical arrival but also the initiation of a significant event or revelation. In the context of Daniel, this arrival is not just a physical presence but a spiritual intervention, emphasizing God's active role in communicating with His people. The immediacy of "now" underscores the urgency and importance of the message being delivered.

to explain to you
The purpose of the angel's visit is to provide clarity and understanding. The Hebrew word for "explain" is "בִּין" (bin), which means to discern or understand. This highlights the compassionate nature of God, who desires His people to have insight into His plans. The act of explaining is not merely informational but transformational, intended to prepare Daniel and his people for future events.

what will happen
This phrase indicates a prophetic revelation. The Hebrew root "קָרָה" (qarah) suggests occurrences or events that are divinely orchestrated. In the biblical narrative, prophecy serves as a means for God to reveal His sovereign control over history. This assurance of divine orchestration provides comfort and hope, reminding believers that God is not surprised by future events but has already woven them into His divine plan.

to your people
The phrase "your people" refers specifically to the Israelites, God's chosen people. This personal address to Daniel emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and Israel. Historically, the Israelites have faced numerous trials, and this message serves as a reminder of God's ongoing commitment to them. It also underscores the communal aspect of God's revelations, which are often intended for the benefit and guidance of His people as a whole.

in the latter days
The term "latter days" is eschatological, pointing to the end times or a future period of fulfillment. The Hebrew phrase "אַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים" (acharit hayamim) is often used in prophetic literature to denote a time when God's ultimate purposes will be realized. This phrase invites believers to live with an eternal perspective, understanding that current struggles are temporary and that God's ultimate victory is assured.

for the vision
The word "vision" refers to a divine revelation or prophecy. The Hebrew "חָזוֹן" (chazon) implies a supernatural insight given by God. Visions in the Bible are not mere dreams but are authoritative messages from God that require attention and response. This particular vision is part of a larger narrative in Daniel, where God reveals His plans for the future, encouraging faith and perseverance.

concerns those days
This phrase ties the vision directly to the "latter days," emphasizing its relevance and importance. The Hebrew "יָמִים" (yamim) for "days" can refer to specific periods or epochs in God's timeline. By linking the vision to these days, the text assures the reader of its significance and the certainty of its fulfillment. It serves as a call to readiness and faithfulness, urging believers to trust in God's timing and sovereignty.

(14) The latter days.--Comp. Daniel 2:28; Daniel 8:17. The time is here more narrowly defined as "those days," that is, the period when the vision of Daniel 11 shall receive its complete fulfilment. The "vision" is identical with "the thing" (Daniel 10:1), or "the vision" (Daniel 10:16). It must be carefully borne in mind that there is no reference to preceding visions, except so far as the revelation contained in Daniel 11 develops certain details of other visions.

Verse 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. None of the versions call for remark. The Peshitta inserts lesooph, "at the end," before "days." The Massoretic Hebrew has a peculiarity unsupported by the curlier versions: it has "for the days." Of course, these versions may simply have neglected the article, as have our English versions, Authorized and Revised. In the latter drays. Kranichfeld holds that this refers to the tatter portion of the vision in ch. 8, not at the end of time. For yet the vision is for many days. Professor Bevan would translate, "since there is yet a vision for the days," i.e. for the days already referred to in the eighth chapter. This would make both clauses have practically the same meaning, which this logical connection implies. There seems no need to take the "end of days," as the end of the world.
