“ And it cometh to pass in my seeing – I, Daniel –
the vision that I require understanding.
Lo, standing over-against me was the apparition of a mighty one.
And I heard a voice of man between Ulai, and he calleth and saith:
Gabriel, cause this one to understand the apparition.
And he cometh in near my station,
and at his coming in I have been afraid,
and I fall on my face,
and he saith unto me:
Understand, son of Adam,
for at the time of the end, the vision.
And in his speaking with me,
I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth;
and he cometh upon me and causeth me to stand at my station,
and saith:
Lo, I – I am causing thee to know
that which is at the latter end of this period of indignation;
for at the appointed time cometh the end.
And I, Daniel have been, yea, I became sick,
for days.
And I rise and do the king’s work,
and am astonished at this apparition,
and yet there is no understanding.
~ from Daniel, chapter 8
