Notes

Daniel 10:2–3

Daniel seemed to be in mourning because of his earlier visions (Daniel 10:14, 16).

Daniel 10:1–12:13

This final vision spans from 536 BC to a future when Daniel will rise from the dead and receive his inheritance. All earthly kingdoms will be destroyed. The eternal kingdom of the Son of Man will arise. God's people will finally be rescued, and death, the ultimate enemy, will be defeated.
