2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 3 I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
12 Then he said to me, Rev. 1:17"Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, Dan. 9:3, 4, 22, 23; Acts 10:4your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 Dan. 10:20But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Dan. 10:21; 12:1; Jude 9; (Rev. 12:7)Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
