       We are going to spend time today in Daniel chapter 10 in the Old Testament. We can note that verses 1-9 is the vision likely of the Lord Jesus Christ, and verses 10-21 is Daniel talking to the angel, probably Gabriel from the previous two chapters. The first part of this passage deals with a vision that the Prophet Daniel saw one day as he was standing by the Tigris River. Now, note that the had been mourning and fasting for three weeks. He hadn’t even been taking caring of his physical condition. But as he feel into a deep trace, we might call it, he saw a man robed in fine linen garments. This person was likely the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember, in the Old Testament, Christ was not identified as himself when he appeared to people. You’ll see occurrences where it says “the angel of the Lord” and this likely was Jesus in some instances. But he wasn’t pointed out as Jesus because he had not yet come into the world—he hadn’t been revealed to Israel.
