“Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.”
Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my complexion changed; but I kept the matter in my heart. The chapter concludes with Daniel's emotional state after receiving the vision. His thoughts are greatly troubled, and his complexion changes—indicating the weight and impact of the revelation. Yet he keeps the matter in his heart, maintaining the secret while processing its significance. The vision has revealed both comfort (ultimate vindication of believers) and horror (persecution and suffering before that vindication).
