"I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth of all this." (Daniel 7:16a)
The issue here is, "the truth." One needs to be extremely careful as to whom he goes for, "the truth of all this." The translation of the word, "truth," varies, but as far as I can determine, it is, "the truth of all this," the "certainty," the "reliability," of what Daniel heard and saw which is the issue here. Daniel was faced with prophetic revelations which were beyond human discernment, but he knew, "the Truth," Himself, "The Word of God," Jesus Christ, was speaking to him of things to come. I was in continual battle with those who opposed, "the truth of all this," all through the university and graduate school. It was the truth which was the issue then .......................... and still is right to this day.
The recent shooting of people in the American State of Arizona has been analyzed continuously. The main concentration has been on the mental stability of the shooter. Oh, how Christ-deniers would love this to be the case. But it is not! It is the sin nature in man, mankind without the cleansing of the Blood of Jesus Christ. America is becoming more and more a violent society. Films and video games are glorifying violence in an unprecedented way. I could never have dreamed of such violence when I was a young person, neither could the framers of the US Constitution when they guaranteed Americans the right to own firearms.
The Bible declares, "For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth." Every attempt to go, "against the truth," will fail, and take that culture down with it. But, "If My People who are called by My Name," would stop quoting this verse and do it, "then I will hear.., and forgive.., and heal...."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I don't want to just call others to, "humble themselves, and pray and seek [Your] face, and turn from their wicked ways;" As the hymn writer said, "Jesus, I come." Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
