Daniel 10:13-21

13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing 1in my way for twenty-one days; then behold, 2Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. 14Now I have come to 3explain to you what will happen to your people in the 45latter days, because the vision pertains to 6the days still future.”

15When he had spoken to me according to these words, I 7turned my face toward the ground and became 8speechless. 16And behold, 910one who resembled a human was 11touching my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, “My lord, due to the vision 1213anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength. 17For 14how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now 15no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me.”

18Then this one with human appearance touched me again and 16strengthened me. 19And he said, “17You who are treasured, 18do not be afraid. Peace be to you; take 19courage and be courageous!” Now as soon as he spoke to me, I felt strengthened and said, “May my lord speak, for you have 20strengthened me.” 20Then he said, “Do you 21understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am leaving, and behold, the 22prince of 23Greece is about to come. 21However, I will tell you what is recorded in the writing of 24truth. Yet there is no one who 25stands firmly with me against these forces except 26Michael your prince.
