10 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a revelation was made to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, the true revelation of a great conflict; he paid heed to the revelation and understood the vision. 2 At that time I Daniel was mourning for three full weeks; 3 I ate no delicacies, I never tasted flesh or wine, and I never anointed myself, till three full weeks were over. 4 Then, on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, when I was on the banks of the great river (that is, the Tigris), 5 I raised my eyes, and as I looked, there I saw a man standing, robed in linen, with a girdle of fine gold from Ophir round his waist, 6 his body gleaming like a topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like lamps of fire, his arms and legs like the colour of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the noise of a crowd! 7 I Daniel alone saw the vision, for the men beside me did not see it; shuddering had seized them, and they ran to hide themselves. 8 So I was left alone to see the great vision. No strength was left in me, paleness ruined my fresh colour; 9 I heard the sound of what he was saying, but when I heard his voice I fell down into a dead faint, my face upon the ground.
10 Then a hand touched me and set me on my knees and hands all shaking. 11 He said to me, “O Daniel, a man greatly loved by God, stand erect and understand the message I now bring to you, for I have been sent to you at last.” When he said this, I stood up trembling. 12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for ever since you applied yourself to brooding on the future and to fasting humbly before your God, your prayers have been heard, and for the sake of your prayers I am here. 13 (The guardian angel of the realm of Persia thwarted me for twenty-one days, but Michael one of the archangels came to my aid, and I have left him to deal single-handed with the guardian angel of the Persian kings.) 14 Now I am here to let you know what is to befall your people at the end of the ages; for this vision relates to the far future.”
15 As he spoke to me thus, I bent my face to the earth and remained dumb; 16 but one who resembled a mortal man touched my lips, and then I opened my mouth and said to him who stood in front of me, “O my lord, the vision makes a pang seize me, and I am powerless; 17 for how can so poor a servant of my lord talk with my lord so great?” (I was shaking; no strength remained in me, I could not breathe.) 18 Then one in the likeness of a man again touched me and strengthened me, 19 saying, “O man greatly loved by God, fear not; all good be yours; be strong, be brave.” At his words I gained strength and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Then he asked, “Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I must return to confront the guardian angel of Persia, and, when I am done with that contest, the guardian angel of Greece shall attack me; 21 my only ally against them is Michael, your own guardian angel, who stands up to support me and defend me.
