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.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 8 of Daniel. Daniel seeks to understand the vision, and the angel Gabriel is given the task of explaining it. Daniel’s reaction again shows that symbolic revelation requires interpretation. Gabriel connects the vision with an appointed time and with events related to the end of a determined period. The expression “time of wrath” places political events within a framework of divine judgment and purpose.

Und er trat nahe zu mir. Ich erschrak aber, da er kam, und fiel auf mein Angesicht. Er aber sprach zu mir: Merke auf, du Menschenkind! denn dies Gesicht gehört in die Zeit des Endes.
Vino luego cerca de donde yo estaba; y con su venida me asombré, y caí sobre mi rostro. Empero él me dijo: Entiende, hijo del hombre, porque al tiempo se cumplirá la visión.
Él se acercó al lugar donde yo estaba. Cuando llegó, me aterroricé y caí rostro en tierra. Me dijo: «Entiende, hijo de hombre, que la visión se refiere al tiempo del fin».
Il vint alors près du lieu où j'étais; et à son approche, je fus effrayé, et je tombai sur ma face. Il me dit: Sois attentif, fils de l'homme, car la vision concerne un temps qui sera la fin.
Ed esso venne presso del luogo dove io stava; e quando fu venuto, io fui spaventato, e caddi sopra la mia faccia; ed egli mi disse: Intendi, figliuol d’uomo; perciocchè questa visione è per lo tempo della fine.
E veio perto de onde eu estava; e, vindo ele, me amedrontei, e caí sobre o meu rosto; mas ele me disse: Entende, filho do homem, porque esta visão acontecerá no fim do tempo.
他就來到我所站的地方。他一來,我就驚慌,臉伏於地。他對我說:「人子啊,你要明白,因為這是關乎末後時期的異象。」
