Daniel 10

This is about Daniel's final vision - Part 1
"At that time I, Daniel, mourned for 3 weeks. I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the 3 weeks were over.

On the 24th day of the 1st month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris, I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. his body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.

I was left alone gazing at this great vision; I had no strength left, my face turned deathly pale and I was helpless. Then I heard him speaking, and as I listened to him, I fell into a deep sleep, my face to the ground.

A hand touched me, and set me trembling on my hands and knees. He said, 'Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, do not be afraid. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your god, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come."


Take a Look at Daniel & Ourselves
Daniel faithfully waited for a message from
God for 3 weeks, praying and fasting.
I know many people who have faithfully prayed for years.
They had to accept the fact that God's answers
do not come easily or quickly.
Therefore, I have learned to
pray fervently
and pray earnestly.
Then expect God to answer at the right time!
