What does Daniel 10:14 mean?

An angel, probably Gabriel (Daniel 8:15–16; 9:21–22; Luke 1:26), appeared to Daniel (Daniel 10:11) three weeks after a troubling vision (Daniel 10:1–3, 12–13). The angel explains his delay was the result of a conflict; most likely, this was against another spiritual being (Daniel 10:13).

The purpose for the angel's visit is to make Daniel understand what would happen to the Jewish people "in the latter days," meaning the future, with a special emphasis on the very end of human history. The vision Daniel received concerned "days yet to come." All of Daniel's prophetic visions include aspects of the end times (Daniel 2:28; 7:16–18; 8:17; 9:23–24).

Prophecy is often given in poetic terms, yet God's predictions always come true. Before blessing his sons, Jacob intended to tell them about what was to come in Israel's future (Genesis 49:1). He prophesied that his son, Dan, would be "a serpent in the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that his rider falls backward" (Genesis 49:17). Centuries later, the tribe of Dan was the first to openly embrace idolatry (Judges 18). Commentators suggest the false prophet (Revelation 13:11–12) in the end times may emerge from the tribe of Dan. It is noteworthy that the tribe of Dan is not mentioned among the twelve tribes that are sealed in the tribulation period (Revelation 7:4–8).
