Daniel 10:18 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 10:18

Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance
of a man
Or one like a man again touched him; the same that touched him before, ( Daniel 10:16 ) , perhaps Gabriel, since he uses the same language in the following verse as he does ( Daniel 10:11 ) : and he strengthened me;
both in body and mind, by his free and familiar conversation with him, and the comfortable words he spoke to him, a divine power accompanying them for that purpose.

Daniel 10:18 In-Context

16 And behold, one who resembled a human being was touching my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, "O my lord , as a result of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17 "For how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord ? As for me, there remains just now no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me."
18 Then this one with human appearance touched me again and strengthened me.
19 He said, "O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you; take courage and be courageous!" Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, "May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
20 Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.
