"Those days" refers to a specific period during the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia, after the Jewish exiles had begun returning to Jerusalem.

The phrase indicates a period of reflection and spiritual significance. I, Daniel was mourning for three full weeks Persons / Places / Events 1. DanielA prophet and a key figure in the Old Testament, known for his unwavering faith and his role in interpreting dreams and visions. In this chapter, Daniel is in a period of mourning and fasting. 2. Mourning This refers to Daniel's state of deep sorrow and lamentation. The Hebrew word used here is (aval), which indicates a profound emotional response, often associated with fasting and prayer. 3. Three Full Weeks This time period signifies a complete cycle of mourning and fasting, emphasizing Daniel's dedication and the seriousness of his spiritual pursuit. 4. Babylon Although not directly mentioned in this verse, Daniel is in Babylon during this time, a place of exile for the Israelites, which adds context to his mourning. 5. Vision of a Great Conflict The broader context of Daniel 10 involves a vision that Daniel receives, which is significant for understanding the spiritual battles and conflicts that are revealed to him. Teaching Points The Power of Fasting and MourningDaniel's example shows the importance of setting aside time for fasting and mourning to seek God's face and understand His will. Spiritual Sensitivity Daniel's mourning prepares him to receive a significant vision, teaching us that spiritual sensitivity often requires sacrifice and dedication. Intercessory Prayer Daniel's actions remind us of the power of intercessory prayer, standing in the gap for others and seeking God's intervention in difficult times. Perseverance in Prayer The three-week period of mourning highlights the need for perseverance in prayer, not giving up until we receive clarity or an answer from God. Preparation for Spiritual Battles Just as Daniel's mourning precedes a revelation of spiritual conflict, our times of fasting and prayer can prepare us for the spiritual battles we face.Verse 2. - In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. The versions are close to the Massoretic, only the Septuagint, and, following it, the Vetus, as quoted by Tertullian, omit "days," in the literal rendering of the Hebrew phrase, "weeks of days". Mourning. Zockler and Fuller think this mourning due to the difficulties the released captives had in carrying out their desire of rebuilding the temple. It may have been that he was grieved that so few of the people were willing to avail themselves of the privilege. We are here assuming that the chronology of this passage reckons from the overthrow of Nabunahid, that is, from Cyrus's accession to the throne of Babylon; but, as we have seen, this "third year" may be reckoned from his assumption of the title King of Persia, San Parsua, in which case it may be the same year with that vision narrated in the previous chapter. Three full weeks; literally, three weeks of days - to mark off the duration of Daniel's fast from the weeks of years referred to in the ninth chapter. Keil objects to this interpretation, but assigns no reason. At the same time, it is to be observed that "year of days" means a full year, but a week is such a short period that the necessity of saying that it was complete by defining it a "week of days" is not so obvious, and is unexampled.
