12. Because many of God's people refused to obey him, they were handed over to the horn. The daily sacrifices were also given over to it. It was successful no matter what it did. And the true worship of God was thrown down to the ground.
13. Then I heard a holy angel speaking. Another holy angel spoke to him. He asked, "How long will it take for the vision to come true? The daily sacrifices will be stopped. Those who refuse to obey God will be destroyed. The temple will be handed over to an enemy. And some of the stars will be stomped on."
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.
