Commentators note that an angel, not Daniel, asks the crucial question, "How long?" This reveals that even heavenly beings are deeply invested in God's plan for humanity and do not know all the details of His timing. As John Calvin points out, if angels are so eager to understand these "wonders," it should motivate believers to pay even greater attention to God's prophetic word.
