And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: therefore shut up the vision; for it shall be many days hence.
All Commentaries on Daniel 8:26 Go To Daniel 8
Jerome
AD 420
Having explained the vision which we have examined (p. 539) above to the best of our ability, the angel Gabriel adds at the end: "Thou therefore seal up the vision, because it shall come to pass after many days." By the mention of a seal, he showed that the things spoken were of a hidden character and not accessible to the ears of the multitude, or susceptible of comprehension prior to their actual fulfilment by the events themselves.
