In Daniel 10, 11 and 12 one in human form (the Son of God perhaps?) speaks to Daniel assuring him that God has heard his prayer. He takes him through the events that will occur, not just in the immediate future but at the end of things. Michael, the prince of angels will conquer and Daniel’s people will be delivered, everyone who is found in the book of life. Daniel is to keep this book secret until the time of the end. The assurance is that the righteous will be made pure.

Psalms 135 and 136 both offer praise and thanks to God. They recite God’s history with His people and recognize that He deserves our praise.
