When I encounter a Bible passage that I do not understand I find myself wondering for the meaning, but that is about it. When Daniel encountered a vision that he did not understand it weighed much heavier on his life. He was appalled. Over his life God had given him great insight into the mysteries of visions. Now he saw a vision from God but received no understanding. Maybe he thought that God had given up on him. But he did not give up faith. He continued to pray to the God who did not reveal all to him. Daniel’s faith carried him through the time of ignorance with a longing for the future when all would finally be revealed.
It took me about 22 minutes to read this passage.
