Daniel 10:11-12

11 E me disse: Daniel, homem muito amado, entende as palavras que te vou dizer, e levanta-te sobre os teus pés; pois agora te sou enviado. Ao falar ele comigo esta palavra, pus-me em pé tremendo.

12 Então me disse: Não temas, Daniel; porque desde o primeiro dia em que aplicaste o teu coração a compreender e a humilhar-te perante o teu Deus, são ouvidas as tuas palavras, e por causa das tuas palavras eu vim.

Daniel 10:11-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DANIEL 10

This chapter is an introduction to the prophecies contained in the two following chapters; and begins with an account of Daniel's mourning and fasting, preparatory to the vision he had, Da 10:1-3, and of the appearance of Christ to him, with the time and place of it; who is described by his clothing, and the several parts of his body, which were very glorious, he appearing in a human form, Da 10:4-6, then follows an account of the effects it had upon him, Da 10:7-9, and of what encouragement and strength he received from him, by words and touches, to listen to what he said; and to expect a discovery and an understanding of things of moment and importance, which should be in future times, Da 10:10-21.
