AI OVERVIEW: Daniel undergoes three weeks of mourning and fasting before a dramatic vision on the bank of the Tigris: a man clothed in linen with a gold belt, body like bronze, face like lightning, and eyes like flaming torches, whose words sound like a crowd. He falls, then is touched and told he is greatly loved and that his prayers have been heard; the messenger has come to reveal what will happen, though he is delayed by the prince of Persia for 21 days until Michael helps. Scholars debate whether the figure is a Christophany or an unnamed angel, but the lesson remains that earthly conflicts reflect heavenly ones and that prayer can unleash spiritual forces against cosmic opposition.
YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION: Receiving a message from God about the future may sound like a mountaintop experience, but that’s not what Daniel’s Old Testament story suggests. On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg examines the prophet’s response to his vision and an angelic encounter. -----------------------------...
