본문의 중심내용

고레스 제3년, 유다 귀환이 시작되었지만, 다니엘은 큰 전쟁에 관한 환상을 보고 슬퍼합니다. 또 어떤 존재에 대한 특별한 환상을 경험하다가 마치 죽은 자처럼 됩니다. 

[ 다니엘 10:1 - 10:9 ] (찬송342장)

다니엘의 탄식 

1바사 왕 고레스 제삼년에 한 일이 벨드사살이라 이름한 다니엘에게 나타났는데 그 일이 참되니 곧 큰 전쟁에 관한 것이라 다니엘이 그 일을 분명히 알았고 그 환상을 깨달으니라 2그 때에 나 다니엘이 세 이레 동안을 슬퍼하며 3세 이레가 차기까지 좋은 떡을 먹지 아니하며 고기와 포도주를 입에 대지 아니하며 또 기름을 바르지 아니하니라

 인자의 환상과 다니엘의 반응 

 4첫째 달 이십사일에 내가 힛데겔이라 하는 큰 강 가에 있었는데 5그 때에 내가 눈을 들어 바라본즉 한 사람이 세마포 옷을 입었고 허리에는 우바스 순금 띠를 띠었더라 6또 그의 몸은 황옥 같고 그의 얼굴은 번갯빛 같고 그의 눈은 횃불 같고 그의 팔과 발은 빛난 놋과 같고 그의 말소리는 무리의 소리와 같더라 7이 환상을 나 다니엘이 홀로 보았고 나와 함께 한 사람들은 이 환상은 보지 못하였어도 그들이 크게 떨며 도망하여 숨었느니라 8그러므로 나만 홀로 있어서 이 큰 환상을 볼 때에 내 몸에 힘이 빠졌고 나의 아름다운 빛이 변하여 썩은 듯하였고 나의 힘이 다 없어졌으나 9내가 그의 음성을 들었는데 그의 음성을 들을 때에 내가 얼굴을 땅에 대고 깊이 잠들었느니라

[ Daniel 10:1 - 10:9 ]

1In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar. And the word was true, and it was a great conflict. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks.3 I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river (that is, the Tigris)5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength.9 Then I heard the sound of his words, and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground. 

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, God’s word relating to a great conflict was revealed to Daniel and when Daniel understood the vision, he prayed and fasted for three weeks (vv. 1-3). Then, at the River Tigris, Daniel saw another vision in which there appeared a figure so glorious and noble that he could not be compared with the angels that had appeared in his earlier visions. Daniel was so shaken and afraid that he fell into a deep sleep (vv. 1-9). 

Who is God?

V. 1 God reveals his plans and surely fulfils them. For Daniel, the vision he received from God was not a mysterious marvel that was impossible to solve but something that he could clearly understand and interpret. When God speaks to us and reveals his plans, we must listen and obey. Do you respond to God’s Word just with your mouth or through action? 

What lesson is God teaching me?

V. 3 Fasting is a way of sincerely confessing that the world does not contain the answers and cannot satisfy us but that we trust only in God and hope in the fulfilment of his will. Let’s ‘fast’ through sincere prayer rather than just going through the motions. 

Prayer

Lord, give me wisdom so that I may understand your will and help me to act in accordance with your Word.
