Daniel's Terrifying Vision of a Man
Daniel 10:10 "And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and [upon] the palms of my hands."
behold, an hand... He was then aroused from his sleep by the angels touch so he might receive the revelation the angel had come to deliver.
This would have put Daniel in a crawling position. This does not mean that Daniel was to look up. It means that God strengthened Daniel by touching Him, possibly, through this being.
Most likely this was Gabriel who touched him who had interpreted other revelations to Daniel (8:16) and spoke similarly of Daniel’s being beloved in 9:20-23. Gabriel is only mentioned by name 4 times in the entire bible, twice here in Daniel and twice in the book of Luke, chapter 1:19 and 26.
How reassuring the touch of that hand and tender the address of that voice. Who cannot be strong when strengthened by the right hand of God? Go forth into the fight of another day! God holds thy right hand. Be true and strong; thou canst not fail!
He was then aroused from his sleep by the angel so he might receive the revelation the angel had come to deliver.
