And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

AD 2017
The prophet having thus instructed us with all exactness as to the certainty of the things that are to be, broke off from his present subject in chapter 7, and passed again to the kingdom of the Persians and Greeks, recounting to us another vision which took place, and was fulfilled in its proper time; in order that, by establishing our belief in this, he might be able to present us to God as ready believers in the things of the future. Accordingly, what he had narrated in the first vision concerning the kingdom of the Persians and the Greeks, he again recounts in detail for the edification of the faithful. (St. Hippolytus)
