ダニエル書 9:1-27 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:18

O my God, incline thine ear, and hear ,.... The petitions now put up, for Christ's sake: open thine eyes, and behold our desolations ; the city and temple a heap of rubbish, and the whole land forsaken of its inhabitants, and lying waste and uncultivated, or, however, at most possessed by enemies; and things being thus, it seemed as if the Lord shut his eyes to them, and therefore is desired to open them, and look with pity and compassion on the case of his people, and deliver them out... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:19

O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive ,.... That is, hear the prayers and supplications that have been presented, and forgive the sins that have been confessed; show both, by removing present calamities, and restoring to former prosperity and privileges: O Lord, hearken, and do ; not only listen to what has been said, and give an answer by speaking, but work salvation and deliverance: defer not, for thine own sake, O my God ; these words seem to be directed to Christ the Son of God, and who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:20

And while I was speaking and praying ,.... Speaking to God in prayer; for it seems his prayer was vocal, and not mental only: and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel ; Daniel, though so holy and good a man, was not without sin, and thought it his duty to confess it before the Lord; and which he did in the first place, and then the sin of his people; which is the way to succeed with the Lord for the application of pardoning grace, and the enjoyment of other mercies and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:21

Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer ,.... Which is repeated, that it might be observed, that while he was in prayer, before he had finished it, or got off of his knees, an answer was sent him; see Isaiah 65:24 , even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning ; either at the beginning of Belshazzar's reign, in the third year of it, Daniel 8:1 , or rather "before", as the Syriac version renders it; before this time, in the vision of the ram and he goat, Daniel... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:22

And he informed me, and talked with me ,.... He informed him, by talking with him, of the will of God, to restore the captivity of his people, to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple, and of the coming of the Messiah: or, "he caused me to attend" F14 ויבן "attendere fecit", Michaelis. , "and talked with me"; he excited his attention to what he had to say, and caused him to advert to his discourse, in order to understand it: and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth ; just now come from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:23

At the beginning of thy supplications ,.... As soon as ever he began to pray. This circumstance shows how ready the Lord is to hear the prayers of his people; and yet it was not owing to the prayers of the prophet, and to any intrinsic virtue or merit in them that the Lord did what he afterwards declares should be done; and, besides, more is revealed and promised than Daniel asked for: the commandment came forth ; either the order from the Lord to the angel, dispatching him on this... read more

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city ,..... Or, "concerning thy people, and concerning thy holy city" F19 על עמך "de populo tuo", Helvicus. ; that is, such a space of time is fixed upon; "cut out" F20 נהתך "decisae", Pagninus: Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Michaelis. , as the word signifies; or appointed of God for the accomplishment of certain events, relative to the temporal good of the city and people of the Jews;... read more

Know, therefore, and understand ,.... Take notice and observe, for the clearer understanding of these seventy weeks, and the events to be fulfilled in them, what will be further said concerning them, the beginning of them, their distinct periods, and what shall be accomplished in them: that from the time of the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem ; this commandment is the beginning of the seventy weeks or four hundred and ninety years, and from it they are to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:26

And after threescore and two weeks ,.... To be reckoned from the end of the seven weeks, or forty nine years, which, added to them, make four hundred and eighty three years: shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself ; by whom is designed the same with Messiah the Prince in Daniel 9:25 , not Onias the high priest, as a late writer F7 Scheme of literal Prophecy, &c.; p. 183. would have it, an upright person, and of great holiness, taken off by an unjust death; since he was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Daniel 9:27

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week ,.... Sixty nine of the seventy weeks being accounted for, and the several events observed to be fulfilled in them; the angel proceeds to take notice of the remaining "one" week, or seven years, and what should be done within that space of time: a covenant should be confirmed with many; which is not to be understood of the Messiah's confirming the covenant of grace with many, or on account of all his people, by fulfilling the... read more
