As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us; yet have we not entreated the favor of Jehovah our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in thy truth.

God had poured out curses on His people because of these sins (Daniel 9:11 b). He had done what He had promised He would do if Israel departed from Him (Daniel 9:12; cf. Deuteronomy 28:15-68). Moses had warned the Israelites about departing from God, yet His people had not sought His favor by repenting (Daniel 9:13). Therefore, calamity had descended on them, since Yahweh is righteous in all His deeds. In contrast, Israel had disobeyed His voice (Daniel 9:14). In this section of his prayer, the... read more

And as we can do no work seriously without regarding the necessary order of sequence, so also we cannot fast without knowing where to begin with what to commence self-control in food. Fasting! and even an analysis of how to fast, and where to begin the very notion of it... read more

THE SEVENTY WEEKSTHIS chapter is occupied with the prayer of Daniel, and with the famous vision of the seventy weeks which has led to such interminable controversies, but of which the interpretation no longer admits of any certainty, because accurate data are not forthcoming.The vision is dated in the first year of Darius, the son of Achashverosh, of the Median stock. We have seen already that such a person is unknown to history. The date, however, accords well in this instance with the... read more
