Bible verse
As he came near to where I stood, I was terrified and fell facedown. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
Daniel 8:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Daniel 8.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long until the fulfillment of the vision of the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”
14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be properly restored.”
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.
16 And I heard the voice of a man calling from between the banks of the Ulai: “Gabriel, explain the vision to this man.”
17 As he came near to where I stood, I was terrified and fell facedown. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
18 While he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,
19 and said, “Behold, I will make known to you what will happen in the latter time of wrath, because it concerns the appointed time of the end.
20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.
21 The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.
