Daniel 8 isn't in chronological order. This vision actually takes place between chapters 4 & 5. Daniel is written in Aramaic & Hebrew. This chapter is in Hebrew because it's directly written to the Jews at the time.
Daniel writes in verse 26, "This prophecy speaks to future days. "The vision of the evenings and mornings Which has been told is true; But keep the vision secret, For it pertains to many days in the future.""
As Daniel receives this vision he says, "afterwards I arose and went about the kings business".
The Lord gave Daniel vision about what would happen between Babylonia, Medes, Persians, Greeks, and even more future events. There wasn't a specific time He just future days.
The truth is we don't have all the answers when the Lord speaks. I believe according to Acts 2:17 the Lord speaks not only thru His Word but also thru dreams, visions, and prophetic voices today. Much like with Daniel we don't know the exact time events will take place, but we do know we must share what the Lord lays on our hearts to share, and do what the Lord leads us to do. The Lord speaks for us to love and serve today. When He speaks, let's obey.
