To what did Gabriel now direct Daniel's attention?
Answer
"At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou
art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision." Dan. 9:23.
NOTES - There is abundant evidence that the instruction in the ninth chapter of Daniel
supplements and interprets the vision of the eighth chapter. Note the following facts:1. Daniel did not understand the vision concerning the treading down of his people and the
sanctuary, and therefore searched the prophecies anew concerning the period of captivity.
14. How was the sanctuary itself to be cleansed, and how were the sins of the people to be finally disposed of?
When God brought His people out of Egypt, how did He republish His law?
Before coming to Sinai, what had Moses taught Israel?
How was the \"devotion\", of the \"faithful\" disturbed?
When these things should begin to come to pass, what did Christ tell His people to do?
How may grace and peace be multiplied in believers?
What promise was made to Abraham concerning the land?
