No, the Glorious Angel naturally refers to the demonic world, and to a particular demon who sub-ruled as a prince over Persia. The man could not stand against such a powerful messenger from God.

So, no, the angel was not talking about the Persian King Cyrus. That knowledge, too, would have led Satan to discern that this message to Daniel must be very important, and so sent the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia to intercept the Glorious Angel. King Cyrus was prophesied as the king who would allow the Jews to return back to Jerusalem, so this period in DanielвЂ™s life became very important. Daniel remained in power and still held court for both King Darius and King Cyrus. The Medo-Persian Empire had defeated the Babylonians since Daniel had been exiled to Babylon. Just who is the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia? The text is clearly not referring to the king of Persia whom Daniel served during this time period. DanielвЂ™s prophecies were always super important, and Satan knew that fact, so he dispatched the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia to withstand GodвЂ™s mighty angel. GodвЂ™s response to DanielвЂ™s prayer then was with a very, very important prophecy.

It also lays out the conditions in the last days when the Antichrist finally comes to power. But, Satan knew that whatever message was going to be revealed to Daniel must as always be very important, and so the Devil tried everything possible to stop the message from going through.Дaniel 11 reveals why this message was so very important, for it would lay out the next few hundred years of IsraelвЂ™s history. As soon as Daniel began praying, God had dispatched an angel with His response.

Nathan Jones: Also interesting is that Daniel 10 describes Daniel fasting and praying for 21 days, when that it took 21 days before this glorious angel was able to reach Daniel with GodвЂ™s message. For instance, in Daniel 10:13, the glorious angel explained his three-week delay in answering DanielвЂ™s prayer with, вЂњBut the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 21 days.вЂќ How amazing that an angel as gloriously arraigned and as powerful as verses 5-6 describe could be delayed by SatanвЂ™s forces. Vic Batista: Daniel 10 reveals that even GodвЂ™s mighty angels face hindrances when carrying out His will both in the angelic realm and here on earth.
