1In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a major thing dropped for Daniel, aka Belteshazzar; it was 100% true, but the wait was long: he got the vision and understood the whole vibe.

2Back then, I, Daniel, was in my feels for three whole weeks.

3I didn't eat any tasty food, no meat or wine hit my lips, and I didn’t even freshen up until those three weeks were done.

4On the 24th day of the first month, I was chilling by the big river, Hiddekel.

5I looked up and saw a dude in linen, flexing some fine gold bling from Uphaz.

6His body was like a shiny gem, his face was lit up like lightning, his eyes were like fire lamps, and his arms and legs shined like polished brass; his voice sounded like a whole crowd.

7I, Daniel, was the only one who caught the vision; the guys with me were shook and ran to hide.

8So, I was solo and saw this epic vision, but I felt weak: my vibe was off, and I had no strength left.

9I heard his voice, and when I did, I was out cold, face down on the ground.

10Then, a hand touched me, lifting me to my knees and palms.

11He said, “Yo, Daniel, you’re super loved, get what I’m saying and stand up: I’m here for you.” After he said that, I was trembling.

12Then he said, “No cap, Daniel: from day one you wanted to understand and humble yourself before God, your words were heard, and I came for you.”

13But the prince of Persia held me back for 21 days; then Michael, one of the top angels, showed up to help me, and I was chilling with the kings of Persia.

14Now, I’m here to spill the tea on what’s gonna happen to your people in the end times: the vision is for a while.

15After he said that, I looked down, and I was speechless.

16Then, someone who looked like a human touched my lips; I opened my mouth and said to him, “Yo, my lord, this vision has me in my feels, and I got no strength left.”

17How can I, your servant, talk to you, my lord? I’m straight up weak, and there’s no breath left in me.

18Then, someone like a man came back and gave me strength.

19He said, “Yo, greatly loved man, don’t be scared: peace to you, be strong, for real, be strong.” After he said that, I felt stronger and said, “Let my lord speak; you’ve boosted me.”

20Then he asked, “You know why I came to you? Now I gotta bounce and fight the prince of Persia: when I’m gone, the prince of Grecia is coming.”

21But I’ll show you what’s written in the truth scroll: no one’s got my back in this but Michael, your prince.

1In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

2In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

3I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

4And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;

5Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:

6His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

7And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

8Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

9Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.

10And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

11And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

12Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

14Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.

15And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.

16And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

17For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.

18Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,

19And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.

20Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

21But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
