Daniel is standing by the Tigris River when confronted by a Theophany, an appearance of the pre-incarnate Christ. He is dropped to the ground, but lifted by a Messenger angel sent from the LORD to inform Daniel of what his vision about future warfare meant. The Messenger from God had been in battle for 3 weeks with the prince of Persia, a fallen angel, who resisted God in all ways. Finally, Michael, the archangel came to war with the prince of Persia and got the messenger released. Chapter 10 is the introduction to the Chapters 10-11-12 unit.
