The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:24

Redemption promised. I. THE ASSURANCE OF REDEMPTION . 1 . It comes from God. We have sinned against God; yet it is he who purifies and renews us. God sends the calamities which are the chastisement of sin; but God also removes them, and restores his penitent people to his favour ( Psalms 103:3 , Psalms 103:4 ). 2 . It was determined long before it was accomplished. From the Fall the restoration was determined ( Genesis 3:15 ). Old Testament saints were comforted by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:24

A section in time. "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy holy city," etc. ( Daniel 9:24 ). The inner connection between this brilliant prophecy and Daniel's prayer is to be carefully observed. At the end of seventy years of captivity he prayed for the averting of the Divine anger, etc. (see preceding homily, Daniel 4:5 (1)), The answer passed on to the next critical event in the developments of God—to the anointing of the Redeemer. It responded to the soul of Daniel's prayer, but weft... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:25

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and three score and two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. The version of the LXX . is widely different from this, "And thou shalt know and shalt understand and shalt discover that the commandments are determined, and thou shalt build Jerusalem a city of the Lord." The change in the first... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:25

Times as evidence. "Know therefore and understand," etc. I. THE STATE OF MIND DEMANDED FROM THE STUDENT OF PROPHECY , 1 . A certain temper. "Know and understand." The angel anticipates difficulties of interpretation. A skilled and spiritual mind necessary. So also industry, pains, care. The worst temper would be the proud, self-sufficient , and dogmatic. Compare words of Jesus , " Whoso readeth, let him understand;" " He that hath ears to hear, let... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:26

And after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. The version of the LXX . is nearly unintelligible as it stands, though the genesis of each separate clause from a text akin to the Massoretic can be easily understood, "And after seven and seventy and sixty-two, the anointing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:26-27

The close of the Jewish economy. "And after three score and two weeks," etc. ( Daniel 9:26 , Daniel 9:27 ). The angel passed from the restoration of the city to the coming of Messiah and the close of the Judaic dispensation. This is the manner of prophecy to seize on the great epochs in the history el the Divine dealings with man. I. THE DEATH OF THE CHRIST . 1 . It was to be violent. "Messiah was to be cut off ." An ominous and portentous phrase to every Jewish... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 9:27

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. The verse in the Septuagint corresponding to this is evidently mixed up with confluent readings and notes as to earlier verses, "And the covenant shall be strong upon many, and again he shall turn... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 9:21

Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer - How “long” the prayer continued we are not informed. It is probable that we have only the substance of it, and that Daniel has recorded only the topics on which he dwelt more at length. The subject was of great importance, and it is reasonable to suppose that a day had been devoted to an examination of the prophecies, and to solemn prayer.Even the man Gabriel - Who had the appearance of a man, and hence, so called.Whom I had seen in the vision at the... read more

And he informed me - Hebrew, Gave me intelligence or understanding. That is, about the design of his visit, and about what would be hereafter.And talked with me - Spake unto me.O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill - Margin, “make thee skillful of.” The Hebrew is, literally, “to make thee skillful, or wise, in understanding.” The design was to give him information as to what was to occur. read more
