SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:16
Y he aquí, como una semejanza de hijo de hombre tocó mis labios. Y abrí mi boca, y hablé, y dije a aquel que estaba delante de mí: Señor mío, con la visión se trastornaron mis dolores sobre mí, y no me quedó fuerza.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Daniel 10:16
Verse 16. Like the similitude of the sons of men.] I think Gabriel is here meant, who appeared to Daniel in a human form; and so in ver. 18, and see also chap. ix. 21. Touched my lips] Before this he was unable to speak.
By the vision] The vision that I have already had, and of which I have not a proper knowledge has greatly afflicted me, because I see it intimates grievous calamities to my people. See chap. ix. 26.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men , etc.] Not the man clothed with linen, or Christ; but either the same angel, Gabriel, who appeared more manifestly to him in a human form; or another of the attendants of Christ, who also had the similitude of a man: touched my lips ; with his hand, as the Prophet Isaiah’s were, by a seraph, with a live coal from the altar, ( Isaiah 6:7), thereby restoring him to his speech, and giving him freedom and boldness to make use of it; and removing from him his impurity, and a sense of it, which occasioned his silence: then I opened my mouth, and spake freely, and yet with all becoming modesty: and said unto him that stood before me, O lord ; the angel that appeared in the likeness of a man, and stood before the prophet, and touched his lips, whom he calls “lord”; not because of sovereignty and dominion over him, which belong to Christ, as the Creator of all things, and Head of the church; but for honour’s sake, being a noble and exalted creature: by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me ; on sight of the glorious object represented to him in the vision, pains seized his body in all parts of it, sharp and pungent, like those of a woman in travail. Gussetius f478 interprets it of the knuckle bones, which turned in the pan of them, like the hinges of a door, of which the word is used, ( Proverbs 26:14), and this through the tendons being loosed by the dissipation of the spirits; and this sense the Vulgate Latin version gives countenance to, my joints are dissolved ; the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, are, “my inward parts or bowels are turned in me: and I have retained no strength”; (see Gill on “ Daniel 10:8”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Daniel's vision near the river Hiddekel. (Dan. 10:1-9) He is to expec a discovery of future events. (Dan. 10:10-21)
Dan. 10:1-9. This chapter relates the beginning of Daniel's las vision, which is continued to the end of the book. The time would be long before all would be accomplished; and much of it is not ye fulfilled. Christ appeared to Daniel in a glorious form, and it shoul engage us to think highly and honourably of him. Let us admire his condescension for us and our salvation. There remained no strength in Daniel. The greatest and best of men cannot bear the full discoverie of the Divine glory; for no man can see it, and live; but glorifie saints see Christ as he is, and can bear the sight. How dreadful soeve Christ may appear to those under convictions of sin, there is enough in his word to quiet their spirits.
Dan. 10:10-21 Whenever we enter into communion with God, it becomes u to have a due sense of the infinite distance between us and the holy God. How shall we, that are dust and ashes, speak to the Lord of glory Nothing is more likely, nothing more effectual to revive the droopin spirits of the saints, than to be assured of God's love to them. From the very first day we begin to look toward God in a way of duty, he is ready to meet us in the way of mercy. Thus ready is God to hear prayer When the angel had told the prophet of the things to come, he was to return, and oppose the decrees of the Persian kings against the Jews The angels are employed as God's ministering servants, Heb. 1:14 Though much was done against the Jews by the kings of Persia, God permitting it, much more mischief would have been done if God had no prevented it. He would now more fully show what were God's purposes, of which the prophecies form an outline; and we are concerned to stud what is written in these Scriptures of truth, for they belong to ou everlasting peace. While Satan and his angels, and evil counsellors excite princes to mischief against the church, we may rejoice tha Christ our Prince, and all his mighty angels, act against our enemies but we ought not to expect many to favour us in this evil world. Ye the whole counsel of God shall be established; and let each one pray Lord Jesus, be our righteousness now, and thou wilt be our everlastin confidence, through life, in death, at the day of judgment, and for evermore __________________________________________________________________
