Context of Daniel 10:19
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. He 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.
