“And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.”
The angel assures Daniel: "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words"—affirming that prayer initiates heavenly response and that Daniel's spiritual discipline has attracted divine attention. The reference to the first day indicates that response begins immediately upon genuine petition, even before the answer arrives. This assurance grounds confident expectation that faithful prayer receives divine response.
