A Call to Contentment
The angel's command, "Go your way, Daniel," is a gentle instruction to stop asking questions. Commentators see this as a call to be at peace and content with the revelation God has already given. It teaches that there are limits to human understanding, and believers are called to trust God's timing rather than demanding to know every detail of the future.
