       Over in 2 Kings 6:14-17, we can see that God opened the eyes of one of his servants to see his great army of angels which had been sent to protect the Israelites from the Syrians. So, we can realize that our very ability to see angels on occasion can, in and of itself, be for our comfort. It’s comforting because it assures us that God is on our side. In Daniel’s case, it was that God was with him personally, and of course the same was true with the Israelites in getting ready for battle with the Syrians. When God allows us to see his angels then, it provides extra encouragement to our spirits, as does even learning about them. Back in Daniel chapter 10, let’s pick up back in the passage with the angel’s statement. He says, “O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you” (ESV). So, there are a couple things I want us to notice here. Consider first that the angel relays to Daniel that what he’s about to tell him is important— for he said, “understand the words that I speak to you.”
