We find the summary in Daniel 10:1. This is very important to recognize! Often, in a Hebrew text, the summary comes first followed by a more detailed description (Luke 18:1, Romans 14:1, etc). If the description or explanation does <i>not</i> agree with the initial summary, we have missed the true meaning. </p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>The first part of the summary says that  its message was true.

If <span class=GramE>You</span> wanted to emphasize that certain passages really are true, why didn t You use the word  true in connection with the creation story or with the story about Noah and the flood? Why not emphasize the truth of all the passages that people struggle with and have a hard time believing?</i> No that is obviously not the reason it is used here. By the way; I personally believe that all Scripture, the whole Bible is true and inspired by God. Thus, it must be a deeper meaning to this word.</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>If we study the word  true or  truth in the Bible, we quickly understand that this word is part of God s character, Jeremiah 10:10. It becomes even more interesting when we look at Daniel 10:1 in the original language. It does not say that  its message <i>was</i> true but simply  its message true. Some Bible translations put all <i>added</i> words in <i>italics</i>. In Daniel 10:1 the word  <i>was</i> is in italics i.e. it is added. In the phrase  its message <i>was</i> true the added word  <i>was</i> makes the phrase refer to the <i>content</i> of the revelation. I.e. the content is  true as opposed to  false. However, without the word  <i>was</i> this phrase points to something else. </p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><b>Hebrew Word for Truth</b></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>It is intriguing to look at the Hebrew word for  true or  truth. The first letter in the Hebrew word is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet. The last letter in the same Hebrew word is the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Thus the word  true makes us think about  Alpha and Omega, which is found in the book of Revelation. Alpha is the first and Omega the last letter in the Greek alphabet. Jesus Christ says that He is the Alpha and Omega, Revelation 22:12-16. </p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>Could the summary of the  revelation in Daniel 10:1 also indicate that the focus in the passage is on Christ, the Messiah? In John 14:6 Jesus frankly tells His listeners that <i>He is the  truth</i>. If Christ is the Truth in the New Testament - would He be the Truth in the Old Testament also? The good news is that we don t need to speculate. Hebrews 13:8 says:</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><i>Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

In that case the summary of the  revelation in Daniel 10-12 is not primarily referring to the message being <i>true</i> in contrast to <i>false,</i> but it says that Jesus Christ <i>is</i> the message! Therefore, the Messiah <i>is</i> the focus also in this part of Daniel just as we have found Him to be in Daniel 8 and 9. </p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:2.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><span class=GramE><span style='color:red'>[ -</span></span><span style='color:red'> That s an interesting and valuable concept to ponder and take to heart.

In the NRSV we read:  it concerned a great conflict, ESV:  it was a great conflict, YLT:  the warfare [is] great, NASB:  great conflict, ASV:  a great warfare and AMP:  great tribulation (conflict).

Daniel 9:26, 11:10 and 25, also mention the word  war and in Daniel 12:1 phrases like,  time of distress,  time of trouble,  time of anguish, etc. are used.

This vision must have been quite dramatic, both for Daniel and his men. <a href="../../NTCh/CrossCorrelatingHistory&amp;Astronomy.htm#CE29Nov24SixthHourSolarEclipse">When Saul met Christ on the road to Damascus</a>, his men heard the voice but didn t see anything, Acts 9:7. </p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:2.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><span class=GramE><span style='color:red'>[ -</span></span><span style='color:red'> Re Saul s experience, please consider carefully the event recorded under <a href="../../NTCh/CrossCorrelatingHistory&amp;Astronomy.htm#CE29Nov24SixthHourSolarEclipse">this link</a>!]<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>Maybe it was similar here, Daniel 10:7:</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><b><i>I, Daniel</i></b><i>, was the only one who <b>saw the vision</b>; the men with me did not see it, but such <b>terror overwhelmed them</b> that they fled and hid themselves.

He became unconscious. The reason for this is clear. Daniel describes what he heard as  the sound of a multitude. The  sound of a multitude and the  sound of many waters are descriptions of what God s voice sounds like, Revelation 1:15, Jeremiah 10:13 and 51:16. No wonder that Daniel fainted! At this moment he needed help. Daniel 10:10-11:</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><i>But then a hand touched me and roused me to my hands and knees.

Since no  new being has been introduced, we have the right to assume that the hand belongs to the Man Dressed in Linen. Especially since in Daniel 10:16 and 18 the same procedure is repeated. These two verses specifically say that it was  one who looked like a man that touched him. So very likely it was Daniel s Messiah, here described as the Man Dressed in Linen that continued to speak and act.</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Comforted</b></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>It is obvious that Daniel needed more than mental and spiritual support. He had been awakened from his unconsciousness and helped up on his feet. He was still trembling, afraid and possibly confused. Just imagine then how comforting it must have been for Daniel to hear the words,  Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, as it is written in the NIV or,  O Daniel, man greatly beloved, as the NKJV puts it. Certainly, very soothing for his <span class=GramE>trembling</span> soul!</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>After these comforting words, the Man Dressed in Linen continues to speak. We may be used to thinking that a  vision is like looking at a  movie screen in front of us. Therefore it may be difficult in this technical age to imagine that this  man stepped out into real life and touched Daniel. This is, however, no problem seen from heavens perspective. The  man Daniel encountered both spoke and acted. As I mentioned earlier, this far Daniel 10 has not introduced any other heavenly being besides the Man Dressed in Linen. </p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:68.25pt;margin-bottom: 0in;margin-left:1.0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'>Daniel, however, continued to tremble.
