Da jeg, Daniel, hadde sett synet, prøvde jeg å forstå det. Da sto det plutselig en som så ut som en mann foran meg. Jeg hørte en menneskestemme som kom fra Ulai. Stemmen sa: «Gabriel, la ham forstå synet!» Engelen Gabriel kom like bort der jeg sto. Det skremte meg, og jeg falt ned med ansiktet mot jorden. Men han sa til meg: «Du må forstå, Daniel, at dette synet viser til hvordan det skal bli på jorden ved endens tid.»
