Og synet om aftenene og morgenene, som det var tale om, er sannhet; men gjem du synet, for det sikter til en fjern fremtid!

Prediction concerning the church in respect to charity and in respect to faith. (11, 11)
1-3 The church which is in faith and in charity, and its power. (11)
4 It will increase in truths and goods. (11)
5 Faith alone will wholly destroy charity. (2)
6-10 It will prevail through reasonings, by which it will dissipate the truths of doctrine that are derived from the Word. (2)
11-12 It will destroy the worship of the Lord, together with Divine truths. (2)
13-14 This will go on until the Coming of the Lord. (1)
15-19 It is further explained, that this will be when the Lord comes. (2, 1, 15)
20-25 Faith alone will destroy the church, and despise the Lord. (3, 4)
Daniel 8:15-19
15
It happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16
I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
18
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
19
He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
