What time period was Gabriel referencing when he said "the time of the end" in Dan 8:17?
Throughout Daniel 8 , there are various time frames mentioned. Daniel 8:14 talks about 2300 evenings and mornings, in Daniel 8:17 it says it is for the time of the end. Then in Daniel 8:26, Gabriel explains that it is for many days from now?
Daniel 8:14 - 27
ESV - 14 And he said to me, "For 2,300 evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state. 15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

The 2300 years begin with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem and ends in 1844. This is when the sanctuary was cleansed. The judgement has begun and continues until Jesus fetches his bride the church.
The little horn power is alive and well, living amongs us, trying to deceive even the very elect, if that were possible. Jesus warns us about it.
Check the attributes of the little horn power, it is not a person but a ecclesiastical/political power - Rome. It also fits the prophesy of the 1260 years which came to an end in 1798 with the arrest of the Pope by Napoleon (inflicting the deadly
Wound to the Beast--which was later healed).
