Clarke's Bible Commentary - Daniel 10:5

Verse 5.
Clothed in linen] The description is intended to point out the splendour of the garments.

Gold of Uphaz] The same as Ophir.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 5. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked , etc.] Being excited to it, by an object presented, of an unusual appearance, which engaged his attention, and caused him to look wistly at it: and, behold a certain man clothed in linen ; not Gabriel, but the Son of God, the Messiah; who, though not as yet incarnate, yet was so in the counsel and purpose of God; had agreed in covenant to be man, was promised and prophesied of as such; and now appeared in a human form, as he frequently did before his incarnation, as a pledge of it, and showing his readiness to assume human nature: he appears here “clothed in linen”, in the habit of a priest; which office he sustains, and executes by the sacrifice of himself, and by his prevalent intercession; and may denote his purity and innocence, as well as direct us to his spotless righteousness he is the author of, which is like fine linen, clean and white, ( Revelation 19:8): whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz ; or of Fez, which is the best gold. Some take it to be the same with the gold of Ophir, often spoken of in Scripture; so the Targum on ( Jeremiah 10:9), renders Uphaz by Ophir. Ptolemy makes mention of a river called Phasis in the island of Taprobane or Zeilan, where Bochart seems to think Ophir was, from whence the gold of that name came; and the same geographer takes notice of a city and river of the same name in Colchis; perhaps the same with Pison, which encompassed Havilah, where was good gold, ( Genesis 2:11,12), and both Strabo and Pliny say that much gold was found in that country, and taken out of rivers there; and was so plentiful, that even chambers were made of gold, Some think that this was an island in India called Paz or Topaz, and might with the Jews go by all three names, Paz, Topaz, and Uphaz f469 ; however, it is certain, that very fine gold, even the finest gold, is here designed: and the loins of this illustrious Person being girded with a girdle made of it, as it may be expressive of his royal dignity, so likewise of his readiness to do any service he was employed in, as man and Mediator; and especially the great work of man’s redemption and salvation, for the sake of which he would really become man, as he has, as well as now he appeared as one; (see Revelation 1:13) where Christ is said to be “girt with a golden girdle”; and such an one was this; and which is to be understood, not of his girdle as a King, which is a girdle of faithfulness and righteousness, ( Isaiah 11:5), all his administrations of government being just and true; though such a girdle well suits him, and his character in the discharge of every office, as well as his kingly office; nor of his girdle as a Prophet, which is the girdle of truth, which all his faithful ministers are girt with, ( Ephesians 6:14), and he in a more eminent manner, who is full of grace and truth, and by whom both came, and who is truth itself; but of his girdle as a Priest; for as such is he here habited, and such a girdle the priests used to wear, even the girdle of the ephod, made of gold, blue, purple, and fine twined linen, ( Exodus 28:8), and this is the girdle of love, which constrained Christ to become the surety and substitute of his people; to take upon him their nature, and their sins; to offer himself a sacrifice for them, and to be their advocate with the Father; and the form and matter of this girdle being round about him, and of gold, may denote the perfection, duration, and eternity of his love.
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 __________________________________________________________________
