“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.”
The angel continues to prepare Daniel psychologically and spiritually for revelation concerning kingdoms, wars, and the ultimate divine vindication of the faithful—emphasizing the cosmic significance of unfolding history and its direction toward divine purposes. The enumeration of coming conflicts prepares Daniel for the challenging content ahead. The assurance of ultimate divine vindication provides hope amid prophecy of tribulation.
