One is reminded of Luke’s words that we should always pray and not give up (Luke 18:1); even if the answers to our prayers are delayed, we must still persist. If Daniel had stopped praying and mourning before the three weeks were up, perhaps he would never have seen this vision of a time yet to come (verse 14).
15–21 Daniel continued to feel weak and helpless. An angel, one who looked like a man, came and strengthened him (verses 16–19). This was probably the second angel, the one detained by the prince of Persia, because in verse 20 he tells Daniel that he must return to fight against that prince. And, he adds, once the “prince of Persia” has been dealt with, then the prince of Greece will come. Spiritual warfare is ongoing.
But before the second angel returns to the spiritual battle, he will tell Daniel what is written in the Book of Truth (verse 21)—the book that will reveal God’s future plans. In the next chapter, the angel will explain what is going to happen to God’s people in the near future (Daniel 11:1–35). Then the angel will tell Daniel what is going to happen in the distant future—at the end of world history, just before the second coming of Christ (Daniel 11:36–45; 12:1–13).
