* Daniel 10 describes a vision that Daniel had on the 24th day of the
first month. Is this Nisan or Tishrei or can we know for sure? Or
does it matter? This year, Tishrei 24 is 10/23/2008.
* It's a vision regarding the end-times.

* v.4 The vision happened next to a river "which coursed east toward Assyria".

Jesus will appear like lighting from the east at the second coming.
* In his vision, he most likely encounters Jesus. There is
speculation whether it's Jesus or an angel. To me, the description
sounds like Jesus.
* v.5 He lifted up his eyes and looked up. As we will do during the rapture.
* v.6 His face was like the appearance of lighting. Matthew 24 tells
us His appearing will be like that of lighting.
* v.7 His friends didn't see the vision. But they did experience
great fear, which caused them to hide. Many are expecting the rapture
to cause the earth to quake but for unbelievers to not be able to see
Jesus.
* v.11 Unto thee I am now sent. The Father will send Jesus to go get His bride.
