I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?”
Daniel heard but grasped nothing, not from laziness or contempt, but because the matter itself was obscure beyond his reach. He did right to ask; God does not speak without meaning His words to bear fruit, yet the prophets never fully comprehend what they deliver, for their words serve ages beyond their own.

Two angels stand on opposite banks, Christ between them on the river, so their voices carry clear across and reach Daniel's ear. They are adorned attendants of the Son of Man, ready to scatter His commands in all directions as He ordains.

Commenting on Daniel 12:5-13
Daniel heard Christ answer but caught no meaning in those words about time and times and half a time. He turned not to the angel but to the Man in linen, perceiving Him divine, of dominion and authority over angels, asking what the final issue would be and how he might know when all was done.
