Daniel 8:15-27 - Gabriel Gives Angelic Help And Interprets The Vision
15 It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man. 16 I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."
17 So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end." 18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright. 19 He said, "Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end. 20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with his power.
23 In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise. 24 His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25 Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands. 26 The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
27 I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
