Daniel 10:5-6

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 10:4-6

I do not presume to say who this glorious person was. But I think, if the Reader will turn to Revelation 1:10-16 he will be led to conclude, that it could be no other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Precious Jesus! how endeared do such visits render thee to thy people. Here a priest also, as there: and all to show, that thou hast an unchangeable and never ceasing priesthood! read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 10:1-99

Daniel 10 AS WE COMMENCE reading chapter 10, we again find mention of 'weeks'. They are, however, to be distinguished from the 'weeks' we have just been considering, since a note in the margin of our Bibles indicates that in the Hebrew they are 'weeks of days'. For those weeks Daniel was mourning and fasting, though the reason for this is not stated. At the end of chapter 1, we were told that Daniel continued to the first year of Cyrus: what we are about to consider occurred in the third year... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 10:1-9

The Beginning of the Vision v. 1. In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, two years after his decree concerning the restoration of Jerusalem and the Temple had gone forth, a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar, both his names being given here, one as a member of the people of God, the other as an official of the Persian court, who could render his nation a better service by remaining at court than by joining them in the restoration of their city, especially... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 10:1-21

the Vision by the River Daniel 10:1-21 This chapter gives a glimpse into the great conflict which is always in progress between heaven and hell. For three weeks the radiant Being who came to Daniel as he prayed and fasted by the great river, was withstood by the mighty fallen spirit, who was concerned with the destinies of the kingdom of Persia; and it was only when he was succored and reinforced that he was able to accomplish the divine errand, Daniel 10:13 . What a revelation is here-that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 10:1-21

The last things were revealed to Daniel in the reign of Cyrus. For three whole weeks he mourned and fasted as the result of a revelation to him of a great warfare. At the close of that period there appeared to him, by the side of the great river Hiddekel, a glorious Person. The description, when compared with that of John in Patmos, leaves no doubt that in this chapter we have the account of one of the Christophanies of the Old Testament. So radiant was the revelation that Daniel was reduced... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:5

THE COMING MIGHTY ONE‘A certain Man.’ Daniel 10:5 I. Sometimes the coming Lord is painted in the Old Testament as the bearer of good tidings, the Saviour Who scatters blessings far and near. II. But sometimes, as in this vision of Daniel, the coming Lord is painted not as Benefactor but as Soldier, Who has enemies to face and a fierce fight to endure.—There are hosts marshalled against Him. His face, as He goes to battle, is as the appearance of lightning. The voice of His words is as the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:4-6

‘And on the twenty fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great River Hiddekel (Tigris) I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.’ Three weeks to the 24th day of the first... read more
