Daniel 10:13-21

13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me after I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

14Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days, for the vision refers to those days.”

15While he was saying these words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and was speechless.

16Suddenly one with human likeness touched my lips. I opened my mouth and said to the one standing in front of me, “My lord, because of the vision, anguish overwhelms me and I am powerless.

17How can someone like me, your servant, speak with someone like you, my lord? Now I have no strength, and there is no breath in me.”

18Then the one with a human appearance touched me again and strengthened me.

19He said, “Don’t be afraid, you who are treasured by God. Peace to you; be very strong!” As he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

20He said, “Do you know why I’ve come to you? I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I leave, the prince of Greece will come.

21However, I will tell you what is recorded in the book of truth. (No one has the courage to support me against those princes except Michael, your prince.
