Daniel 8: Evil people may be successful, shall become great (in their own mind), cunning and cannot be destroyed by human power (vv. 24-25). Yet, they shall be broken (v. 25). As Daniel, let us mind our own business (v. 27).
17 அப்பொழுது அவன் நான் நின்ற இடத்துக்கு வந்தான். அவன் வருகையில் நான் திடுக்கிட்டு முகங்குப்புற விழுந்தேன். அவன் என்னை நோக்கி: மனுபுத்திரனே கவனி. இந்தத் தரிசனம் முடிவுகாலத்துக்கு அடுத்தது என்றான். தானியேல் 8 :17
