The answer is: What shall befall his people in the latter days

Daniel 10:14

Daniel’s final vision serves as a powerful capstone to the rich tapestry of messages woven throughout his prophecies. It offers a peek into the ominous, yet hopeful, future that awaits the people of Israel. This ultimately fits into a broader theme: the tension between suffering and divine promise. While the vision forebodes stress and hardship — the distress that will beset his people in the "latter days" — it also whispers of a divine resolve, that God is aware of their plight.

Interest piques as we recall that the "latter days" idea isn’t unique to Daniel; it resonates throughout Scripture. Old Testament prophets like Isaiah, Ezekiel, and even the echoes found in the New Testament frequently revisit visions of "the end" catalyzing bustling dialogues and fear throughout ages. Many scholars contend that these earlier references laid the groundwork for apocalyptic literature, paving a hopeful path amidst turmoil.

Daniel, a prominent exile in Babylon, underscores the texture of faithful endurance in troubled times. His messages invite a reflective thought about purpose amidst chaos. It's captivating to note that Daniel often provides clarity and revelation about the times. Also, intriguingly, elements from the Daniel narrative resonate with John’s visions in Revelation— foreshadowing themes of resurrection and accountability. What sparked early Christians to see themselves in this legacy was the conviction of living with an awareness that transcends immediate dread, grasping bits of transcendent hope. That, fundamentally, is the heart of Daniel's lasting impact.
