Gabriel Interprets the Vision
15 Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and awas seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me bone having the appearance of a man.
16 And I heard a man’s voice abetween the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, b“Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
17 So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and afell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.”
18 aNow, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; bbut he touched me, and stood me upright.
19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; afor at the appointed time the end shall be.
20 The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.
