Chapter 141

¹ “And I Daniel alone saw the vision.” For to the saints and to those who fear him, to them alone does he reveal himself.

² For if anyone now seems even to have his conduct within the Church, yet does not have the fear of God, the assembly with the saints profits him nothing, since he has not gained within himself the power of the Spirit.

³ For indeed at that time there were many standing with Daniel, but they did not see the vision, for they were not worthy; rather a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled in fear.

⁴ “And I,” he says, “was left alone, and I fall upon my face to the ground, and behold, as it were a man’s hand touched me.” A man’s hand, he says—not yet a man, but signifying through the hand what was to come of the dispensation.
