b'Contrary to Victorian era illustrations and Michelangelo\\u2019s chubby cherubs in the Sistine Chapel, angels are always described as glorious and fear-inducing.\\xa0 Whenever someone sees a vision of an angel in Scripture, the person who sees them is dumbfounded and crippled by fear. In most instances, the angel has to tell the person not to fear and followed by supernatural help to recuperate. Such is the case with Daniel, who receives an interpretation of his vision from an angel. There\\u2019s far too much to talk about concerning the historical fulfillment of Daniel\\u2019s vision, but the prophesy moves from near future to the end of days when it is mentioned that the king will do whatever he wants.'
