10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of
God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic
powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my
master! What shall we do?” 16 He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more
than those who are with them.” 17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes
that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the
mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

5 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. 6 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.

12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to
understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have
come because of your words. 13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one
days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings
of Persia,

20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against
the prince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
