Daniel 10:10-Daniel 11:2 - Angelic Conflict
10 A hand touched me and set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 11 He said to me: O Daniel, you are greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you. Stand upright for I have been sent to you. When he spoke these words I stood trembling.
12 Then he said: Do not fear Daniel! From the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come in response to your prayer. 13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me twenty-one days but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the future for the vision is yet for many days.
15 When he spoke these words to me I looked to the ground and was unable to speak. 16 Then one who looked like a human touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke to him: O my lord, by reason of the vision I have convulsions and I have no strength. 17 For how can the servant of my lord talk? I had no strength in me. I was also without breath.
18 Then the one with the human appearance touched me and he strengthened me. 19 He said, O man greatly beloved, do not fear, peace be to you, be strong, yes, be strong. And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak for you have strengthened me.
20 Then he said: Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. The prince of Greece will also come. 21 But I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one standing firmly with me against these, but Michael your prince.
1 I stood up to confirm and strengthen Darius the Mede in his first year. 2 Now I will tell you the truth. Look, there will be three more kings in Persia. Then the fourth will be richer than the others. When he is strong because of his riches he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
