15. And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. 16. And I heard a man’s voice between [the banks of] Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to understand the vision. 17. So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [shall be] the vision. 18. Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. 19. And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall be].

Theological / Devotional

Sought for the meaning. Daniel did not understand the meaning of what he had seen. Many times the bearers of a prophetic message need to study that message themselves in order to discover its meaning (1 Peter 1:10-12). It is the duty of the prophet faithfully to relate what he has seen and heard (see Rev. 1:11).
