At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
The moment you started praying, God gave the order for me to come to you. I'm here to help you understand because you are deeply loved. So pay attention to what I'm about to show you and really think about this vision.
Your prayers hit heaven instantly because you're that loved by God.

As Daniel begins his prayer, an angel, likely Gabriel, is sent by God to deliver a message and explain a vision related to Israel's future. This verse underscores God's prompt response to faithful intercession, highlighting Daniel's special favor in God's eyes.
