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)

Daniel 9:1-3
1
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,
2
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
3
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
