Following weeks of prayer and fasting, Daniel receives a vision by the Tigris River. A majestic being, possibly a Christophany, appears, overwhelming Daniel and his companions. Despite their fear, Daniel is singled out, touched, and encouraged by the being. The being explains a delay in response to Daniel's prayers due to resistance from a demonic prince, but with Michael's help, the message comes through. Daniel, physically affected by the experience, is strengthened and reassured. The being reveals an ongoing spiritual war and future conflicts but assures Daniel of God's knowledge and control. This chapter lays the groundwork for future prophecies, highlighting the importance of prayer, Christ's role, and God's guidance in the face of spiritual warfare.
