Context of Daniel 10:15
13But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia stood against me for 21 days. Then Michael came to help me. He is one of God's most important angels. He helped me because the ruler of Persia was keeping me there. 14Now I have come to explain what will happen to your people in the future. The vision is about a future time.’ While he was saying this to me, I was looking down at the ground. I could not speak. 16Then someone who looked like a man touched my lips. I opened my mouth and I was able to speak again. So I said to the person who stood in front of me, ‘Sir, the vision makes me very afraid. My strength has disappeared. 17I am your servant, sir. I am too weak to speak with you. It is difficult for me to breathe.’
