Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 9:15

"And now, O Lord our God, thou hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, let thine anger and thy wrath, I pray thee, be turned away from thy city of Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because for our sins and for the iniquity of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are round about us. Now therefore, O our... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 9:20

"And while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God; yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee wisdom and understanding. At the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 9:24

"Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem unto the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: it shall be built again, with... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 9

CHAP. IX. Daniel, considering the time of the captivity, maketh confession of sins, and prayeth for the restoration of Jerusalem. Gabriel informeth him of the seventy weeks. Before Christ 538. THIS chapter contains a most affecting and ardent prayer of Daniel, on a near view of the expiration of the seventy years allotted for Judah's captivity: the success of his prayer is pointed out at the conclusion of it, and the deliverance of his brethren is communicated to the prophet in a very... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 9:2

Daniel 9:2. I Daniel understood by books— Daniel had with him in the captivity the holy Scriptures, and in particular the prophesies of Jeremiah, which he here calls so many books: he refers more particularly to the 25th and 29th chapters of that prophet. We may hence observe, that the later prophets studied the writings of the former, for the more perfect understanding of the times when their prophesies were to be fulfilled. Daniel saw a part of Jeremiah's prediction fulfilled, by the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 9:4

Daniel 9:4. O Lord, the great and dreadful God— The emphatic ה is used before each of the epithets that follow, "the God, the great, the dreadful." This prayer, which is occasioned by the greatest and most sincere concern for the captive Jews, is the result also of the deepest humiliation, and expressive of the strongest energies and most earnest affections. Jeremiah, at chap. Jer 29:12 had informed the people, that if they prayed and sought the Lord in their foreign land, they should be heard;... read more
