Gabriel Explains the Vision to Daniel

Daniel 8:15-27

8
Chapter 8
15 As I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding, one who looked like a man stood before me. 16 And I heard the voice of a man between the Ulai, and he called and said, "Gabriel, make this one understand the vision." 17 He came near where I was standing, and when he came, I was terrified and fell on my face. He said to me, "Understand, son of Adam, that the vision is for the time of the end." 18 As he spoke with me, I fell on my face to the ground, but he touched me and made me stand on my feet. 19 He said, "Behold, I am making you know what will be in the end of the wrath, for it is for an appointed time of the end." 20 The ram that you saw, the possessor of the horns, is the kings of Madai and Persia. 21 And the male goat, the shaggy one, is the king of Greece. And the great horn that is between his eyes—he is the first king. 22 And as for the broken one, four will stand up in its place from his nation. Four kingdoms will stand up, but not with his power. 23 And in the latter end of their kingdom, when the rebels have completed their rebellion, a king of fierce face and understanding riddles will stand up. 24 And he grew strong in his power and not by his power, and with wondrous deeds he will destroy and he prospered and he did and he destroyed mighty ones and people of holy ones. 25 And through his understanding he will succeed with deceit. He will magnify himself in his hand and in his heart. And in peace he will destroy many. And against the Prince of princes he will stand. And he will be broken with no hand. 26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which has been told is truth. And you, seal the vision, for it is for many days. 27 And I, Daniel, was sick for days and I arose and did the king's work, and I was desolated over the vision, and there was no understanding.
