Context of Daniel 8:13

11It boasted that it was more powerful than the Captain of heaven's army. It stopped people from offering their sacrifices to God each day. It destroyed God's temple. 12God's people accepted the rule of the horn, because they had turned against God. They offered their sacrifices to the horn, instead of to God. The horn stopped people from believing the truth. It was able to do everything that it wanted to do. Then I heard two angels as they talked to each other. One angel asked, ‘How long will the things in this vision continue to happen? How long will this disgusting thing stop the sacrifices each day? How long will it stand against God and stamp on his temple and his army?’ 14The other angel answered, ‘It will continue for 2,300 evenings and mornings. After that, God's temple will be clean again.’ 15When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I tried to understand it. Then someone came to stand in front of me. He seemed like a man.
