Daniel 10:1-3

1 No ano terceiro de Ciro, rei da Pérsia, foi revelada uma palavra a Daniel, cujo nome se chama Beltessazar, uma palavra verdadeira concernente a um grande conflito; e ele entendeu esta palavra, e teve entendimento da visão.

2 Naqueles dias eu, Daniel, estava pranteando por três semanas inteiras.

3 Nenhuma coisa desejável comi, nem carne nem vinho entraram na minha boca, nem me ungi com ungüento, até que se cumpriram as três semanas completas.

Daniel 10:1-3 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DANIEL 10

This chapter is an introduction to the prophecies contained in the two following chapters; and begins with an account of Daniel's mourning and fasting, preparatory to the vision he had, Da 10:1-3, and of the appearance of Christ to him, with the time and place of it; who is described by his clothing, and the several parts of his body, which were very glorious, he appearing in a human form, Da 10:4-6, then follows an account of the effects it had upon him, Da 10:7-9, and of what encouragement and strength he received from him, by words and touches, to listen to what he said; and to expect a discovery and an understanding of things of moment and importance, which should be in future times, Da 10:10-21.
