Introduction The great warfare of which Daniel writes (Dan. 10:1) is an eternal warfare. It did not begin with Daniel, nor did it end with him.

"Choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom….They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 6:3,5).
