“Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.”
Gabriel states he has come to give Daniel wisdom and understanding, addressing him by name and explaining that Daniel is greatly beloved—establishing the basis for the subsequent revelation as divine favor toward the faithful prophet. "Greatly beloved" affirms Daniel's standing before God despite his human limitations and doubt. This affirmation motivates the prophet to receive and act upon the revelation with full commitment.
