“Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?”
Daniel hears two holy ones conversing; one asks the other how long the vision will take to fulfill—the setting of desolation continuing, the sanctuary trampled, and the host given over—establishing the theodicy question central to the book's theology. The dialogue format introduces celestial perspective on earthly suffering and divine timetable, assuring that the intolerable situation has predetermined limits. This heavenly conversation transforms the vision from mere political prophecy into theological testimony about God's control over suffering.
