Daniel 10:14: “Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”

- The angelic message arrives after Daniel’s three-week fast, tying prayer to revelation.

- Conflict with the “prince of Persia” (10:13) exposes unseen powers shaping nations (cf. Ephesians 6:12).
