Gabriel approaches

15And it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking understanding, behold, standing before me was one with the appearance of a man.

16And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of the Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”

17So he came near where I was standing, and when he came, I was terrified and fell on my face. Then he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”

18And while he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand up where I had been standing.

19Then he said, “Look, I am making known to you what will happen in the latter part of the indignation, for the end is for the appointed time.”
