While I was speaking in prayer, the spirit person [who looked like a man] Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, was inspired to come quickly and touch me. It was about the time of the evening offering. He instructed me: O Daniel, he said, I have now come to give you wisdom (insight) and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications the commandment went forth. I came to report to you for you are greatly loved. Consider the matter, and understand the vision.

One said to the man clothed in linen, which was above the waters of the river: How long will it be to the end of these wonders?
