In the gospels, Jesus often referred to himself as the Son of man. He also spoke of those whom the Father had given to him (I think of John 6, 10, & 17). I wonder if what Daniel was seeing here was a vision from "before the foundation of the world."
The LORD is thy keeper...The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. (Psalm 121:5a,7)
...he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:5b-6 KJV)
These verses are precious. We may memorize them and we believe them, but I realize every so often that my life is often pretty tame (for which I am grateful) and that my faith in God as He is described in these and other verses is seldom tested. Joosep - looking at your comments from last week - Praise God that His word is truth and that He is faithful. I will add my prayers to yours. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). May you and yours be safe.
Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah --Psalm 9:19-20 (ESV)
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalm 91:14-16 (KJV)
Congratulations, joosep. Another milestone reached. Our Lord is so kind and faithful. I love that He works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
I will extol Thee, my God, O king; and I will bless Thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. --Psalm 145:1-3
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:7-8
