15. I was trying to understand what the vision meant, when suddenly someone was standing in front of me.
16. I heard a voice call out over the River Ulai, “Gabriel, explain to him the meaning of what he saw.”
17. Gabriel came and stood beside me, and I was so terrified that I fell to the ground.He said to me, “Mortal man, understand the meaning. The vision has to do with the end of the world.”
18. While he was talking, I fell to the ground unconscious. But he took hold of me, raised me to my feet,
