본문의 중심내용

다니엘은 하나님이 보내신 이를 통해 강건함을 얻고 앞으로 일어날 일에 대해 듣습니다. 시대의 변화나 시대 상황을 두려워하지 말고 하나님께 소망을 두고 강건해야 합니다.

[ 다니엘 10:10 - 10:21 ] (찬송354장)

방문이 늦은 이유 

10한 손이 있어 나를 어루만지기로 내가 떨었더니 그가 내 무릎과 손바닥이 땅에 닿게 일으키고 11내게 이르되 큰 은총을 받은 사람 다니엘아 내가 네게 이르는 말을 깨닫고 일어서라 내가 네게 보내심을 받았느니라 하더라 그가 내게 이 말을 한 후에 내가 떨며 일어서니 12그가 내게 이르되 다니엘아 두려워하지 말라 네가 깨달으려 하여 네 하나님 앞에 스스로 겸비하게 하기로 결심하던 첫날부터 네 말이 응답 받았으므로 내가 네 말로 말미암아 왔느니라 13그런데 바사 왕국의 군주가 이십일 일 동안 나를 막았으므로 내가 거기 바사 왕국의 왕들과 함께 머물러 있더니 가장 높은 군주 중 하나인 미가엘이 와서 나를 도와 주므로 14이제 내가 마지막 날에 네 백성이 당할 일을 네게 깨닫게 하러 왔노라 이는 이 환상이 오랜 후의 일임이라 하더라

 말문이 막힌 다니엘 

 15그가 이런 말로 내게 이를 때에 내가 곧 얼굴을 땅에 향하고 말문이 막혔더니 16인자와 같은 이가 있어 내 입술을 만진지라 내가 곧 입을 열어 내 앞에 서 있는 자에게 말하여 이르되 내 주여 이 환상으로 말미암아 근심이 내게 더하므로 내가 힘이 없어졌나이다 17내 몸에 힘이 없어졌고 호흡이 남지 아니하였사오니 내 주의 이 종이 어찌 능히 내 주와 더불어 말씀할 수 있으리이까 하니

 격려 받는 다니엘 

 18또 사람의 모양 같은 것 하나가 나를 만지며 나를 강건하게 하여 19이르되 큰 은총을 받은 사람이여 두려워하지 말라 평안하라 강건하라 강건하라 그가 이같이 내게 말하매 내가 곧 힘이 나서 이르되 내 주께서 나를 강건하게 하셨사오니 말씀하옵소서 20그가 이르되 내가 어찌하여 네게 왔는지 네가 아느냐 이제 내가 돌아가서 바사 군주와 싸우려니와 내가 나간 후에는 헬라의 군주가 이를 것이라 21오직 내가 먼저 진리의 글에 기록된 것으로 네게 보이리라 나를 도와서 그들을 대항할 자는 너희의 군주 미가엘뿐이니라

[ Daniel 10:10 - 10:21 ]

10And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia,14 and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”15 When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was mute.16 And behold, one in the likeness of the children of man touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and I retain no strength.17 How can my lord’s servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.”18 Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.19 And he said, “O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.21 But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince. 

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

God gave Daniel strength and a message through his angel. No act of interference by evil forces could prevent God from relaying his word to his people. Although David was drained of strength by the oppression of a great force, God gave him renewed strength. God’s people can hear God’s word and encounter him because of his incredible grace. By this grace, Daniel heard God’s word, which revealed that Greece would replace Persia as the centre of the world, but God would continue to protect his people (vv. 10-21).   

Who is God?

Vv. 10, 15-18 God comforts us and gives us strength. God comforted Daniel, who was deeply shaken by his encounter of a divine being and his visions of the sufferings that his people were to endure. Daniel, who grieved over this with the Lord’s heart, was comforted by God. Let’s yearn to receive the grace of God’s comfort and strength. 

What lesson is God teaching me?

Vv. 12-14 On the other side of every worldly battle is a spiritual battle. Daniel was caught in a spiritual battle so intense that it delayed his prayer. Let’s not give up prematurely or despair because God does not seem to be responding but remain firm and upright even in those times. 

Prayer

Lord, help me to fight in the spiritual battle through the Word and prayer.
