Daniel 9:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 9:19

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.
