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.
