18 The one who looked like a man touched me again. And he gave me strength.
19 He said, “Daniel, don’t be afraid. God loves you very much. Peace be with you. Be strong now, be strong.”When he spoke to me, I became stronger. Then I said, “Master, speak, since you have given me strength.”
20 So then he said, “Daniel, do you know why I have come to you? Soon I must go back to fight against the prince of Persia. When I go, the prince of Greece will come.
21 But before I go, I must first tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. No one stands with me against them except Michael. He is the angel ruling over your people.
