Danilo 9

Studie

   

1 Prve godine Darija, sina Asvirovog od plemena midskog, koji se zacari nad carstvom haldejskim,

2 Prve godine njegovog carovanja ja Danilo razumeh iz knjiga broj godina, koje beše rekao Gospod Jeremiji proroku da će se navršiti razvalinama jerusalimskim, sedamdeset godina.

3 I okretoh lice svoje ka Gospodu Bogu tražeći Ga molitvom i molbama s postom i s kostreti i pepelom.

4 I pomolih se Gospodu Bogu svom i ispovedajući se rekoh: O Gospode, Bože veliki i strašni, koji držiš zavet i milost onima koji Te ljube i drže zapovesti Tvoje;

5 Zgrešismo i zlo činismo i bismo bezbožni, i odmetnusmo se i odstupismo od zapovesti Tvojih i od zakona Tvojih.

6 I ne slušasmo sluga Tvojih proroka, koji govorahu u Tvoje ime carevima našim, knezovima našim i očevima našim i svemu narodu zemaljskom.

7 U Tebe je, Gospode, pravda, a u nas sram na licu, kako je danas, u Judejaca i u Jerusalimljana i u svih Izrailjaca, koji su blizu i koji su daleko po svim zemljama kuda si ih razagnao za grehe njihove, kojima Ti grešiše.

8 Gospode, u nas je sram na licu, u careva naših, u knezova naših i u otaca naših, jer Ti zgrešismo.

9 U Gospoda je Boga našeg milost i praštanje, jer se odmetnusmo od Njega,

10 I ne slušasmo glas Gospoda Boga svog da hodimo po zakonima Njegovim, koje nam je dao preko sluga svojih proroka.

11 I sav Izrailj prestupi zakon Tvoj, i odstupi da ne sluša glas Tvoj; zato se izli na nas prokletstvo i zakletva napisana u zakonu Mojsija, sluge Božijeg, jer Mu zgrešismo.

12 I On potvrdi reči svoje koje je govorio za nas i za sudije naše, koje su nam sudile, pustivši na nas zlo veliko, da tako ne bi pod svim nebom kako bi u Jerusalimu.

13 Kako je pisano u zakonu Mojsijevom, sve to zlo dođe na nas, i opet se ne molismo Gospodu Bogu svom da bismo se vratili od bezakonja svog i pazili na istinu Tvoju.

14 I Gospod nasta oko zla i navede ga na nas; jer je pravedan Gospod Bog naš u svim delima svojim koja čini, jer ne slušasmo glas Njegov.

15 Ali sada, Gospode Bože naš, koji si izveo narod svoj iz zemlje misirske rukom krepkom, i stekao si sebi ime, kako je danas, zgrešismo, bezbožni bismo.

16 Gospode, po svoj pravdi Tvojoj neka se odvrati gnev Tvoj i jarost Tvoja od grada Tvog Jerusalima, svete gore Tvoje; jer sa greha naših i s bezakonja otaca naših Jerusalim i Tvoj narod posta rug u svih koji su oko nas.

17 Sada dakle poslušaj, Bože naš, molitvu sluge svog i molbe njegove, i obasjaj licem svojim opustelu svetinju svoju, Gospoda radi.

18 Bože moj, prigni uho svoje, i čuj; otvori oči svoje, i vidi pustoš našu i grad, na koji je prizvano ime Tvoje, jer ne radi svoje pravde nego radi milosti Tvoje padamo pred Tobom moleći se.

19 Gospode usliši, Gospode oprosti, Gospode pazi i učini, ne časi sebe radi Bože moj, jer je Tvoje ime prizvano na ovaj grad i na Tvoj narod.

20 A dok ja još govorah i moljah se i ispovedah greh svoj i greh naroda svog Izrailja, i padah moleći se pred Gospodom Bogom svojim za svetu goru Boga svog,

21 Dok još govorah moleći se, onaj čovek Gavrilo, kog videh pre u utvari, dolete brzo i dotače me se o večernjoj žrtvi.

22 I nauči me i govori sa mnom i reče: Danilo, sada iziđoh da te urazumim.

23 U početku molitve tvoje iziđe reč, i ja dođoh da ti kažem, jer si mio; zato slušaj reč, i razumi utvaru.

24 Sedamdeset je nedelja određeno tvom narodu i tvom gradu svetom da se svrši prestup i da nestane greha i da se očisti bezakonje i da se dovede večna pravda, i da se zapečati utvara i proroštvo, i da se pomaže Sveti nad svetima.

25 Zato znaj i razumi: Otkada iziđe reč da se Jerusalim opet sazida do pomazanika vojvode biće sedam nedelja, i šezdeset i dve nedelje da se opet pograde ulice i zidovi, i to u teško vreme.

26 A posle te šezdeset i dve nedelje pogubljen će biti pomazanik i ništa mu neće ostati; narod će vojvodin doći i razoriti grad i svetinju; i kraj će mu biti s potopom, i određeno će pustošenje biti do svršetka rata.

27 I utvrdiće zavet s mnogima za nedelju dana, a u polovinu nedelje ukinuće žrtvu i prinos; i krilima mrskim, koja pustoše, do svršetka određenog izliće se na pustoš.

Scriptural Confirmations # 38

38. 10. The vastation of the good of charity by the falsities of faith is described by the ram and by the he-goat of the goats, by the former of which the good of charity is described (8:4), but that it was thrown down by the he-goat, wherefore it is said that he will cast the truth to the earth, and also take away the continual sacrifice and the habitation of the sanctuary (verses 11-12); that he will rise against the prince of the army and the princes, that is, against the Lord (verses 10, 25); and that he destroys the holy people, that is, the church (verses 24-25) (Daniel 8:1 to the end).

That this prophecy treats of the Christian Church is clear, for it is said, that at the time of the end shall be the vision. That it would take place in the end of his anger, because the vision was for many days (verses 17, 19, 26); and that it was the vision of the evening and the morning (Daniel 8:1 to the end).

In the ninth chapter the future state of the Christian Church is especially treated of, which the Lord the Savior revealed to him; He Himself is there meant by the Lord God (verses 3-4, 7-9, 15-19); also by the Lord (Psalms 110:1), and elsewhere; but by Jehovah God is meant God the Father (Daniel 9:2, 13-14, 20).

By "the destructions of Jerusalem" (Daniel 9:2) is meant the devastation of the church in general; and afterwards by it (verses 25-27) is meant the devastation of the Christian Church, as is clearly evident from the Lord's words (Matthew 24:15).

In verse 25, it treats of the first state of the Christian Church, while it was called Apostolic, thus until the Council of Nice, which was then in straitness of times on account of the heresies of that time. In verse 26 it treats of the second state of that church which was when the Papal power prevailed, in which all the Divine power of the Lord was transferred to the Pope; and the Word was almost buried, and with it all knowledge of the Lord, and all knowledge of the truth. This is meant by the Messiah or Christ being slain. It treats of the third state of that church which is called the Reformation in verse 27. In it the worship of the Lord ceased, because they departed from Him to three Gods from eternity, and thus relapsed into mere falsities, so that not one spiritual truth remains. Therefore it is there called the bird of abominations, desolation, consummation, destruction, and devastation (verse 27); and by the Lord the abomination of desolation foretold by Daniel the prophet (Matthew 24:15).

In the end of the days, for yet the vision is for days (Daniel 10:14).

For yet the end shall be at the time appointed (Daniel 11:27, 35, 45).

Seal the book until the time of the end (Daniel 12:4,9,13).

Michael shall rise up, but it shall be a time of trouble such as was not since there was a nation even unto this time; at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book (Daniel 12:1).

The intelligent shall shine as the stars (Daniel 12:3). At the appointed time of the stated times and the half time, all these things were to be consummated; and this is called the abomination that devastateth (Daniel 12:7, 11).

That these things have reference to the end of the Christian Church is evident from similar things which are said in Matthew and in Revelation (Daniel 12:1, 2, 7, 10-12), besides other places; and that they are sealed until the time of the end.
