Daniel 10:1

[Daniel is now in his 85th year. Two years earlier, the new Persian king Cyrus had given the Jews permission to return to Jerusalem, see Ezra 1:3. However, few Jews had left, and for those who did, the circumstances were difficult. The vision occurs when Daniel is away from the city of Babylon and is by the Tigris River. The text does not say why, perhaps he was there on administrative business or to urge the Jews to return?
The structure of the last part of the Book of Daniel is:
1. Prologue – Dan. 10:1–11:2
2. Revelation – Dan. 11:2–12:4
3. Epilogue – Dan. 12:5–13.]

In the third year of the reign of Cyrus (Koresh), king of Persia [536 BC], Daniel, also known as Belteshassar [the name he was given when he was taken captive Dan. 1:7], received a message (word) revealed to him. [He sees another vision.] The message is true and concerns a great war (a difficult time, a great tribulation). He understood the message, and in the vision he gained insight into what it was about.
