The Meaning vs Purpose of the Appearing of the Excellent Christ to Daniel

Daniel 10:4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was by the great river Hedechelie,

Dan 10:5 and looked up, and behold, a man clothed in fine linen, with a belt of pure gold from Uphas around his waist.

Dan 10:6 His body was like sapphire, his face like lightning, his eyes like torches, his hands and feet like gleaming bronze, and his voice like the voice of a great assembly.

Dan 10:7 But I, Daniel alone, saw this vision; those who were with me did not see it, but they were greatly terrified and fled and hid.

Dan 9:23 I have come to tell you that when you first made your request, a command was given, because you are greatly loved; therefore understand these things and meditate on this vision.
