Daniel 10:1-3

1 Im dritten Jahre Kores', des Königs von Persien, wurde dem Daniel, welcher Beltsazar genannt wird, eine Sache geoffenbart, und die Sache ist Wahrheit und betrifft eine große Mühsal; und er verstand die Sache und bekam Verständnis über das Gesicht. -

2 In selbigen Tagen trauerte ich, Daniel, drei volle Wochen.

3 Köstliche Speise aß ich nicht, und weder Fleisch noch Wein kam in meinen Mund; und ich salbte mich nicht, bis drei volle Wochen um waren.

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.
