Daniel 10:18

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. The versions here call for no remark. The prophet still stood, but trembling and powerless, unable to comprehend fully the revelation; but now again the strengthening hand touches him.

It cannot be regarded as a strain put upon the meaning here, if we see in this repeated presence of one in the form of man a symbol of Christ, who took upon him the form of a servant, and was found in fashion as a man.

The best way to honor that history is to read it. Open your Bible to Romans 3:21-26 today. It is the "Magna Carta" of the Christian faith.
