Daniel 8:17-19
New English Translation
17 So he approached the place where I was standing. As he came, I felt terrified and fell flat on the ground.[a] Then he said to me, “Understand, son of man,[b] that the vision pertains to the time of the end.” 18 As he spoke with me, I fell into a trance with my face to the ground. But he touched me and stood me upright.[c]
19 Then he said, “I am going to inform you about what will happen in the latter time of wrath, for the vision[d] pertains to the appointed time of the end.
