Daniel 10:19 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Daniel 10:10-21

Much ado here is to bring Daniel to be able to bear what Christ has to say to him. Still we have him in a fright, hardly and very slowly recovering himself; but he is still answered and supported with good words and comfortable words. Let us see how Daniel is by degrees brought to himself, and gather up the several passages that are to the same purport. I. Daniel is in a great consternation and finds it very difficult to get clear of it. The hand that touched him set him at first upon his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 10:19

And said, O man, greatly beloved ,..... Or, "man of desires", as before, Daniel 10:11 , which shows it to be the same here speaking as there, and probably Gabriel: fear not ; for a man has nothing to fear, from men or devils, that is beloved of the Lord; and especially from good angels, how glorious and majestic soever they are: peace be unto thee ; all prosperity of body and soul; inward peace of mind, a freedom from all hurry of thought, and commotion of the passions, and eternal... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:19

Verse 19 He first explains how he recovered his spirits at the angel’s exhortation; for he refers to this encouragement as a command to be of good courage. Fear not, therefore, O man of desires The angel here addresses Daniel soothingly, to calm his fears, for he needed some enticement when oppressed with fear at both the words and aspect of the angel. This is the reason why he calls him a man to be desired He adds, peace to thee, a customary salutation with the Hebrews, who mean by the phrase... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:1-19

The vision of the Christ. "I was left alone, and saw this great vision" ( Daniel 10:8 ). It is well to begin by clearing up the context. We have now only one more prophecy in Daniel. This occupies the eleventh chapter. The tenth contains a prologue to the prophecy; the twelfth, an epilogue. In Daniel 10:1 the character of the prophecy is indicated: 1 . Its subject-matter is afflictive. " The conflict is great. " It covers a time of great calamities (see the Hebrew). 2 . The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:1-21

EXPOSITION THE ANGELS OF THE NATIONS . The three chapters (10, 11; and 12.) form a section apart from the rest of Daniel. One marked peculiarity is the long and very old interpolation which occupies nearly the whole of Daniel 11:1-45 . Not improbably something has dropped out, and. not a few things have been modified in consequence of this interpolation. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:11-21

Variety of angelic service. It is quite legitimate for us to reason from God's conduct towards men in the past to his probable conduct towards men now. If in his wisdom he employed his angels to be ministers of good to Daniel and to Israel two thousand years ago, we may conclude that it is an exercise of wisdom to do the like to-day. Perfect wisdom will only change its plans, so far as new circumstances and needs arise. Hence there is instruction and consolation for us in this Scripture. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:18-19

Divine encouragement. I. THE NEED OF ENCOURAGEMENT . 1 . In trouble. It is difficult to work bravely and earnestly in the midst of calamity. The calamities of Israel were discouragements in the way of the service of God. 2 . In guilt. Daniel had been confessing the sins of himself and his nation ( Daniel 9:5 ). Nothing is so depressing as the feeling of failure and the knowledge that it has come by our own fault. 3 . In weakness. The burden of the mystery of life... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:19

And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not; peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. The LXX . has its ordinary translation of the phrase rendered, "man greatly beloved ( ἄνθρωπος ἐλεεινὸς εἶ )." They give three words for the repetition of the command, "be strong:" ὑγίαινε , " be in good health;" ἀνδρίζου , "play the man;" ἴσχυε , "be strong." In... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 10:19

And said, O man greatly beloved - See the notes at Daniel 9:23.Fear not - Neither at my presence, nor at what I have to say. There was nothing in the visitation of an angel that could be a ground of dread to a good man; there was nothing in what he had to communicate that could be a reasonable cause of alarm.Be strong, yea, be strong - These are words of encouragement such as we address to those who are timid and fearful. We exhort them not to yield; to make a vigorous effort to meet danger,... read more
