Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 10:2-3

Daniel 10:2-3. I Daniel was mourning The reason of Daniel’s fasting and mourning might be, either because many of the Jews, through slothfulness and indifference, still remained in the land of their captivity, though they had liberty to return to their own land, not knowing how to value the privileges offered them; or, as Usher thinks, because he had heard that the adversaries of the Jews had begun to obstruct the building of the temple. Calmet, however, is of opinion, that his sorrow arose... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 10:1-21

A vision beside the Tigris (10:1-11:1)Daniel’s final vision was also his longest, and his account of it lasts till the end of the book. At this time Cyrus was in the third year of his rule over the Jews (10:1). The Jews who had returned to their land had already met so much opposition that they had stopped rebuilding their temple (Ezra 4:1-5,Ezra 4:24).Perhaps this opposition was part of the cause of Daniel’s sadness (2-3). Whatever the cause, his mourning and fasting provided the circumstances... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 10:2

Daniel 10:2. I Daniel was mourning three full weeks— Various causes are assigned for this mourning of the prophet. Usher thinks that it was on account of the interruption given by the Samaritans to the rebuilding of the temple. But I am persuaded, says Calmet, that it arose principally from the obscurity which the prophet found in the prophesies revealed to him; which indeed may be collected from the angel's touching upon no other cause of mourning. In consequence of Daniel's fasting, &c.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 10:2

2. mourning—that is, afflicting myself by fasting from "pleasant bread, flesh and wine" (Daniel 10:3), as a sign of sorrow, not for its own sake. Compare Daniel 10:3- :, "fast," answering to "mourn" (Daniel 10:3- :). Compare 1 Corinthians 8:8; 1 Timothy 4:3, which prove that "fasting" is not an indispensable Christian obligation; but merely an outward expression of sorrow, and separation from ordinary worldly enjoyments, in order to give one's self to prayer (1 Timothy 4:3- :). Daniel's... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 10:2-3

Daniel’s personal preparations 10:2-3The vision in chapter 9 came after Daniel had been praying and fasting (Daniel 9:3). The vision that follows also came to him after he had been mourning, fasting, and undoubtedly praying, for three weeks (cf. Daniel 1:11-13). Obviously these were literal weeks of days. Evidently, the previous revelations from God, and the welfare of the Jews-who had returned to Palestine but were encountering opposition, were the reasons for Daniel’s grave concern (cf. Ezra... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Daniel 10:1-21

Divine Appointments Daniel 10:1 All things are appointed. Yet it pleases our little vanity to imagine that we appoint some things ourselves. Oh the fuss of the world, and the noise, and the fruitlessness! We have deposed God from being husbandman, and have taken to growing crops of our own kind. They always fail. The appointing God is on the throne; the Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice. It is interesting to me as a student of the Book to see in how many aspects Divine appointment is... read more

CHAPTER 10 The Preparation for the Final Prophecy This chapter contains the preface to the final great prophecies as found in the last two chapters of this book. The certain man who appeared unto Daniel at the banks of the river Hiddekel (Tigris) was the Lord. Compare with Revelation 1:1-20 , where John, the beloved disciple, beheld Him in a vision of glory. Daniel’s vision is a pre-incarnation vision of the same One whom John beheld after His resurrection and in His glorified humanity. The... read more
