“At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.”
"At the beginning of your supplications a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter and understand the vision"—indicating that God determined to respond to Daniel's prayer before Gabriel's arrival, establishing prayer as effective and divine answer as assured. The reiteration of "greatly beloved" reinforces the personal relationship underlying the revelation. This assurance transforms the subsequent prophecy from mere information into response to passionate intercession.
