Daniel 9
 Annunciatory Angel (c. 1437-1446) Fra Angelico (c. 1395-1455) Early Italian Renaissance Style Musee du Louvre, Paris, France Image Source: Wikipedia [ Illustration: Today's painting depicts an angel, a symbol of the angel (Gabriel) of a much more imposing appearance who brought understanding to Daniel in today's chapter. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Daniel 9, the prophet Daniel, after reading the prophecy of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25:11-14; Jeremiah 29:10-14; 2 Chronicles 36:21-23; Ezra 1:1; Zechariah 1:12-17; Daniel 9:2), prayed for the release of Israel from the Babylonian Captivity. With fasting and mourning, he confessed his sins and the sins of Israel. In response, Gabriel came to him and told him that everlasting righteousness would be established, that Jerusalem would be restored, that the Messiah would come, that the Messiah would be cut off, and that Jerusalem, the Temple sanctuary, and the sacrifice of oblation would come to an end. 1. Daniel is Moved to Prayer (1-19). In the first year of Darius the Mede, Daniel read the books (writings, letters) of Jeremiah which he sent to the captives. And from them, Daniel, realized that the end of Israel's Babylonian captivity was drawing to an end (1-2). He then sought God's face (favor) with fasting in sackcloth and ashes (3). He began by acknowledging that God was great and awesome and that he kept covenant and mercy for those who love him and keep his commandments. However, he confessed that he and his people had not kept God's commandments and had not listened to his prophets (4-6). Daniel testifies that the LORD is righteous, but Israel is unrighteous and therefore their shame is just (7-8). He pleads for the mercy and forgiveness though Israel has disobeyed God and his prophets (9-10). Israel broke God's law, and God's curse came upon them (11-12). Nevertheless, they refused to repent. Therefore the LORD brought punishment on them (13-14). Israel sinned against the LORD who was famous for bringing them out of Egypt (15). Daniel asked the LORD to turn from his anger toward Jerusalem because his people are a reproach to their neighbors because of their sins (16). Daniel also asked the LORD to have mercy on his sanctuary and his city for the sake of his mercy (17-18). In summary, Daniel asked the Lord to forgive quickly for his sake, for the sake of his city, and for he sake of his people who are called by his name (19). 2. Gabriel Comes with Answers (20-27). While Daniel was praying, Gabriel came to Daniel's aid. He touched Daniel, and he informed him (20-23). Gabriel announced that seventy "sevens" (probably 490 years) would be necessary for 6 reasons: to finish (or restrain) the transgression, to make an end of (or seal or conceal) sins, to make reconciliation (cover or atone) for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy--or holy of holies. This, as noted by Barnes, is accomplished by the Messiah -- Haggai 2:7-9; Malachi 3:1-2; Matthew 12:6 (24). Seven sevens (49 years) will intervene between the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem till the Messiah the Prince. In 62 sevens (434 years), during troublous times, the street and the wall (of Jerusalem) will be built again (25). After 62 sevens (434 years) Messiah will be cut off, but not for himself. The city and the sanctuary (again) will be destroyed by a prince and his people. The end will be with a flood, and desolations will be until the end of the war. The prince will make a covenant for one seven (7 years), but in the midst of the seven (3.5 years) he will cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; until the end, desolation will come through abominations (the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by Titus the Roman general and later Emperor); and what is determined will be poured upon the desolate (26-27). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alternate Chapter Outline: Chapter 9 does not have a chiastic * structure. However, various authors see a chiastic structure in the book of Daniel taken as a whole. Below, I have presented the book outline by David A. Dorsey, slightly modified, from his book The Literary Structure of the Old Testament (p. 260). * A chiastic structure is a literary form of parallelism in which a succession of ideas leads up to an emphatic central point then repeats in reverse order. Hebrew Introduction: Daniel and his three friends in king's training (1). Aramaic Section (2-7). a. Vision of the four kingdoms in a human image (2). b. Martyr Story: God saves Daniel's three friends in the fiery furnace (3). c. Nebuchadnezzar's pride and Yahweh's sovereignty (4). c. Belshazzar's pride and Yahweh's sovereignty (5). b'.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
