10:4 正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河邊，
10:5 舉目觀看，見有一人身穿細麻衣，腰束烏法精金帶。
10:6 他身體如水蒼玉，面貌如閃電，眼目如火把，手和腳如光明的銅，說話的聲音如大眾的聲音。
10:7 這異象惟有我─但以理一人看見，同著我的人沒有看見。他們卻大大戰兢，逃跑隱藏，
10:8 只剩下我一人。我見了這大異象便渾身無力，面貌失色，毫無氣力。
10:9 我卻聽見他說話的聲音，一聽見就面伏在地沉睡了。
On the twenty-fourth day of the first
month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river (that is, the
Tigris) I lifted up my eyes and looked,
and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around
his waist. His body was like beryl, his
face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms
and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like
the sound of a multitude. And I, Daniel,
alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but
a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves. So I was left alone and saw this great
vision, and no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully
changed, and I retained no strength.
Then I heard the sound of his words, and as I heard the sound of his
words, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground.

但以理在底格里斯河邊看見天使，同行的人看不見天使，但卻害怕逃走了。但以理自己渾身無力，面伏在地沉睡。
再一次聖經記載但以理領受異象的時候，身心受到極大的衝擊，以致他是「面容變色」、「渾身無力」甚至「面伏在地沉睡」。我們是真心希望看到異象嗎？我們聽見現代的先知們看到異象的反應與但以理一致嗎？
這也在一次顯示，人真正遇見上帝的啟示時，是超乎人所能承受的，要不是聖靈願意用我們可以明瞭的方式，我們與拯救我們的主耶穌相遇，其實是超乎我們所能承受的。所以，讓祂成為人的樣式來尋求我們，讓我們不至於被祂無限的榮光所震懾！讓我們感受到人子耶穌的謙和！因為，我們面見基督，就是與上帝相遇！
