14 One of the holy angels said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings. Then the temple will be made holy again."
15 I was watching the vision. And I was trying to understand it. Then I saw someone who looked like a man.
16 I heard a voice from the Ulai Waterway. It called out, "Gabriel, tell Daniel what his vision means."
17 Gabriel came close to where I was standing. I was terrified and fell down flat with my face toward the ground. He said to me, "Son of man, I want you to understand that the vision tells about the time of the end."
18 While he was speaking to me, I was sound asleep. I lay with my face toward the ground. Then he touched me. He raised me to my feet.
19 He said, "I am going to tell you what will happen later. It will take place when God is angry. The vision tells about the appointed time of the end.
20 You saw a ram that had two horns. It stands for the kings of Media and Persia.
