Daniel: mighty rivers, mighty heavenly warriors and mighty men. Daniel 10:1-27 Chapters 10-12 form the last section of the book of Daniel. Chapter 10 is a lengthy introduction to the final vision that is revealed to Daniel. And as we meet Daniel in chapter 10 we catch him in a bit of a crossroads and […]
