What assurance was given to Daniel concerning the period of time mentioned in verse 14?
Answer
"And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision;
for it shall be for many days." Dan. 8: 26.
NOTES - By the expression "the vision of the evening and the morning" reference is made to the
vision concerning the twenty-three hundred days, as may be seen by referring to the marginal readings of
Dan. 8:14.
The interpretation of the vision of chapter 8 closes without making any explanation of the long
period of time which was mentioned to Daniel in the answer to the question, "How long shall be the
vision?" This important feature was left to be interpreted later. See next reading.
