Daniel 9:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 9:15

13 ^a“As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; ^byet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.

14 Therefore the Lord has ^akept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for ^bthe Lord our God is righteous in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice.

15 And now, O Lord our God, ^awho brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself ^ba name, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have done wickedly!

16 “O Lord, ^aaccording to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, ^bYour holy mountain; because for our sins, ^cand for the iniquities of our fathers, ^dJerusalem and Your people ^eare a reproach to all those around us.

17 Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, ^aand ^bfor the Lord’s sake cause Your face to shine on² Your sanctuary, ^cwhich is desolate.

18 ^aO my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes ^band see our desolations, and the city ^cwhich is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.

19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

The Seventy-Weeks Prophecy

20 Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God,

21 yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man ^aGabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning,¹ being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering.

22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.

23 At the beginning of your supplications the¹ command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly ^abeloved; therefore ^bconsider the matter, and understand the vision:

24 “Seventy¹ weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
¹To make an end of sins,
^aTo make reconciliation for iniquity,
^bTo bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
^cAnd to anoint¹ the Most Holy.

25 “Know the¹refore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until ^aMessiah ^bthe Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the² wall,
Even in troublesome times.

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks
^aMessiah shall¹ be cut off, ^bbut not for Himself;
And ^cthe people of the prince who is to come
^dShall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 Then he shall confirm ^a¹a covenant with ^bmany for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
^cEven until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the¹ desolate.”
