Daniel 10 · Grade 4

Greatly Beloved

Name Date

Read and Think

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, Daniel was mourning three whole weeks. He ate no pleasant food, and no meat or wine came into his mouth. Then he was by the side of the great river. He looked up and saw a man clothed in linen. His face was like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, and his voice like a crowd.

The men with Daniel did not see the vision, but they fled to hide. Daniel was left alone. No strength remained in him, and he fell into a deep sleep on his face. Then a hand touched him and set him on his knees. The man said, Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you.

The messenger said Daniel's words had been heard from the first day. He had been delayed twenty-one days, but Michael came to help him. Daniel was still weak, so one like a man touched him again and strengthened him. He was told, Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.
