As the passage transitions to verses 9–27, the prophecy focuses on another little horn and moves from what Daniel saw to how God interprets the vision. Through the angel Gabriel, Daniel receives divine insight into the meaning and purpose of the vision. This section reveals that the events are not isolated moments in history but are part of a broader prophetic timeline, pointing not only to Antiochus but ultimately to the future work of the Antichrist. Though the revelation leaves Daniel physically overwhelmed and emotionally disturbed, it serves as a reminder that God does not leave His people in the dark. He provides understanding through His messengers and calls His people to endure with faith, even when the future seems overwhelming.
