A True and Sobering Vision

Commentators stress that this vision is declared "true" to emphasize its divine certainty. However, it's not a message of immediate comfort. The vision reveals a "great warfare" or a "long" period of hardship. This sets the stage for a prophecy that is both reliable and realistic about the struggles God's people will face before the final victory.
