Daniel Chapter 10 서론 Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Daniel 10 Introduction

Translated Open passage

This and the two following chapters give an account of Daniel's last vision, wherein the succession of the Persian and Grecian monarchies is described, together with the wars that should take place between Syria and Egypt under the latter monarchy. The last part of the vision (from Daniel 11:36) seems to relate chiefly to the persecutions of the Church in the times of Antichrist, till it be purified from all its pollutions; after which will follow that glorious kingdom of the saints spoken of in the seventh and eighth chapters. This chapter begins with an account of Daniel's fasting and humiliation, Daniel 10:1-3. Then we have a description of the Divine person who appeared to the prophet, not unlike him who appeared to the apostle in the isle of Patmos, vv. 4-21. See Revelation 1:10-16.

Daniel 10:2

Translated Open passage

Daniel Chapter 10 3 Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Daniel 10:3

Translated Open passage

I ate no pleasant bread - This fast was rather a general abstinence; living all the while on coarse and unsavory food; drinking nothing but water; not using the bath, and most probably wearing haircloth next the skin, during the whole of the time.

Daniel Chapter 10 4 Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Daniel 10:4

Translated Open passage

By the side of - Hiddekel - The same as the Tigris. the great river of Assyria; as the Euphrates of Syria, and the Nile of Egypt.

Daniel Chapter 10 5 Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Daniel 10:5

Translated Open passage

Clothed in linen - The description is intended to point out the splendor of the garments.

Gold of Uphaz - The same as Ophir.

Daniel Chapter 10 6 Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Daniel 10:6

Translated Open passage

His body also was like the beryl - The description of this person is very similar to that of our Lord in Revelation 1:13-15.

Daniel Chapter 10 7 Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Daniel 10:7

Translated Open passage

The men that were with me saw not the vision - An exactly parallel case with what occurred at the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, Acts 9:7. There was a Divine influence which they all felt, but only Daniel saw the corporeal appearance.
