His body also was like the beryl - The description of this person is very similar to that of our Lord in Revelation 1:13-15 . read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:2

Verse 2 We gather from this passage why the angel appeared to the Prophet in the third year of Cyrus. He says, he was then in the greatest sorrow; and what was the cause of it? At that period we know an interruption of the work of rebuilding the temple and city to have taken place. Cyrus was gone to a distance; he had set out for Asia Minor, and was carrying on war with the Scythians. his son Cambyses was corrupted by his couriers, and forbade the Jews to proceed with the rebuilding of their... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:4

Verse 4 Daniel now narrates the acceptance of his prayers, because all angel appeared and instructed him in the future condition of the Church. Without the slightest doubt, the fasting already described was a preparation for prayer, as we have stated before, and as we may gather from many passages of Scripture, especially from the assertion of Christ, where he says, the demon could not be cast out except by prayer and fasting. (Matthew 17:21.) Daniel, therefore, did not abstain from all food,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 10:5

Verse 5 As to the word Uphaz, some think it to be a pearl or precious stone, and they take the word כתם, kethem, which precedes it, for pure gold. Others take uphaz adjectivally, for pure gold. I do not suppose it to be an epithet, but I rather subscribe to the view of those who understand it as the proper name of a place, because this view is in accordance with the phraseology of the tenth chapter of Jeremiah. There is another opinion which is unsuitable. Uphaz is said to be derived from the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:1-10

Man's foolish terror in the presence of a heavenly visitor. In accepting the testimony of others, with respect to matters beyond the reach of our own senses and experience, we must be satisfied on three points. The matter of this vision is most reasonable in itself. We have an accumulation of proof that Daniel was not deceived. It was not a subjective hallucination, but an objective reality. As evidence of Daniel's thorough truthfulness, he places on record the minutest circumstances of... 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

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 10:2

In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks . The versions are close to the Massoretic, only the Septuagint, and, following it, the Vetus, as quoted by Tertullian, omit "days," in the literal rendering of the Hebrew phrase, "weeks of days". Mourning. Zöckler and Fuller think this mourning due to the difficulties the released captives had in carrying out their desire of rebuilding the temple. It may have been that he was grieved that so few of the people were willing to avail... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:2-8

Fasting. The exercise of fasting seems to grow out of natural spiritual instincts, as it is found in nearly all religions, and is not forbidden but recognized and regulated in the teaching of Christ and his apostles ( Luke 5:35 ; Acts 13:2 , Acts 13:3 ; Acts 14:23 ). It is, however, an exercise which is surrounded with erroneous ideas, and which needs to be cleared of them before it can be admitted as healthy and profitable. Let us notice— I. SOME ABUSES OF THE EXERCISE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 10:3

I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. The versions are in perfect agreement with the Massoretic text. Pleasant bread ; "bread of desires" is the rendering of the Septuagint and of Theodotion; the word is the same in Hebrew and Greek as that applied to Daniel. Neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth. This shows that the practice adopted by Daniel and his fellows during their training... read more
