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.
Upon what ground were the previous promises then renewed to Abraham?
In the interpretation of the vision, how is this self exaltation set forth?
3. What urgent petition of the prophet connects this prayer with the vision of the taking away of the continual mediation and the desolation of the sanctuary recorded in Daniel 8?
What did Jesus say of His attitude toward the law?
In this covenant with Israel, what obligation was imposed upon the people?
8. After commending this church for their good works, what charge did the Lord bring against them?
What does the Psalmist say about the dead praising God?
