Can you imagine a visit from angels?
That is exactly what Daniel experienced in Daniel 10. He was visited by the angel Gabriel and the angel Michael. It says that Daniel was in the fourth and twentieth day and that he was mourning...so after humbling himself before the Lord with his fasting, Daniel was extremely weak. And the angels came to him to speak to him and to help Daniel to regain his strength. In the 11th verse Daniel is told by the angel that he is beloved in heaven....can you imagine being told that you are beloved in heaven...can you just try to take that into your brain and comprehend this. I am not sure that I am capable of doing this.
Let's look at this word for just a moment.
Beloved-dearly loved, this is what Merriam says. And in this definition the word "dearly" is an adjective, which describes loved, and dearly-highly valued.
Now I don't know about you but it seems to me that Merriam Webster is not quite capable of a good and precise definition for beloved. I feel that to be beloved by those in heaven goes far beyond any kind of love, we as fleshly human beings, are really capable of understanding. Isn't God amazing?
I have done a little research on the chapters in Daniel and the one thing that is clear is that the first six chapters are fairly easy to understand...then we get into the second half and these are filled with prophecy and I will be taking a bit more time as I go thru these; so just be patient with me I have already done the digging but now I have to read the information that I have dug out.
So here are my thoughts...I will go thru the rest of the chapters and then I will go back thru the last six chapter again with the help of commentaries so just please bear with me...but for right now I am really hungry, I had an apple and natural peanut butter for dinner last night, which was fine last night, but now I am famished.
So go and be a blessing, I am going to...
