The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #180
180. Internal Meaning of Daniel, Chapter 9
The Coming of the Lord, and the end of each church, the old and the new. (1, 3, 12)
1-3 Revelation respecting the end of the church. (1, 3)
4-19 Confession respecting the Jewish church destroyed. (3)
24 After the church has been consummated, the judgment will come, and the Word will cease, (15)
and so the Lord will glorify His Human. (10, 2)
25 Afterwards a new church will be established, but not easily. (11)
26 Afterwards falsity will invade that church and will destroy it. (3)
27 Still there will be a reformation, but this church will also perish from mere falsities and evils (Matt.4:15) 1 (11, 3)
Daniel 9:20-23
20
While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Yahweh my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21
yes, 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 offering.
22
He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, Daniel, I am now come forth to give you wisdom and understanding.
23
At the beginning of your petitions the commandment went forth, and I have come to tell you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.
