Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for [many] days:" — Daniel 10:14 (ASV)

The latter days—Compare Daniel 2:28; Daniel 8:17. The time is here more narrowly defined as “those days,” that is, the period when the vision of Daniel 11 shall receive its complete fulfilment. The “vision” is identical with “the thing” (Daniel 10:1), or “the vision” (Daniel 10:16). It must be carefully borne in mind that there is no reference to preceding visions, except so far as the revelation contained in Daniel 11 develops certain details of other visions.
