經文:但理書第九、十章
鑰節:「……我來告訴你,因你大蒙眷愛……」(9:23)
提要

        到了第九章,但以理已被擄將滿七十年。他讀耶利米的預言,論到巴比倫的敗亡(已應驗),和猶太人被擄的期限(耶25:11~12),但以理知道自由的日子快來了。因此,他謙卑而誠心地向上帝祈禱(9:3),從默念敬拜上帝的屬性,認罪(自己和國家的罪),到為人向上帝代求。但以理也像摩西一樣,作人的中保,向上帝求憐憫。但以理推想:上帝既因罪責罰祂的百姓和聖城,上帝也要因自己榮耀之名的緣故,釋放拯救他們。

        但以理的禱告立刻蒙垂聽。天使加百列二度來到他那裡(8:16;9:21),幫助他明白那異象。在上帝的護理下,但以理的禱告,竟成全了上帝對祂百姓的計劃。

        上帝非常看重但以理,除他以外,沒有一個先知如此準確地知道彌賽亞要來的時間。「七十個七」是四百九十年。被擄的時間是七十年,然而從被擄到彌賽亞降臨的時長是其七倍之久。(從猶太人重建耶路撒冷開始算起)。「七十個七」分成七個七,六十二個七,和一個七等三部份。頭七個七和那六十二個七之和,是四百八十三年,很接近從重造聖城(和聖殿)到耶穌基督(受膏者)公開事奉這之間的時長。在三年半之內(即一七之半),耶穌要被釘在十字架,「止住罪過」,「贖盡罪孽」,「引進永義」(9:24、26~27)。有些解經家認為,另外那三年半,要延到末世才會應驗。關於準確的時間,主已告訴我們那是奧秘,無人能預知。但有件事可以確定的是,上帝對每件事都有祂的時間表,而且祂全權掌管。這些預言告訴我們,地上的國來了又去,只有我主耶穌基督的國要存到永遠。

        第十章起是另一組最後的異象,告訴我們以前預言的更多細節。第十章是這組異象的引言,異象發生在塞魯士第三年,也是他准猶太人歸回祖地的第三年。但以理為這異象悲傷了數日,因重建聖殿要經歷很大的艱難(9:25);工作甚至要中斷(參拉4:4~5)。更令他傷心的是很多猶太人對此事的冷漠,他們雖可以回去卻不回去耶路撒冷。高齡九旬的但以理自己是無力回去了,更因他的呼召是在這外邦之地作自己百姓的宣教士。

        但以理可能正在底格里斯河帶禱告聚會,那時只有他一人看見可怕的景觀,有個人穿著狀似大祭司,既可能就是道成肉身前的耶穌基督。這和以西結、使徒約翰所見有極多相似處(參結1:26~28;啟1:12~18)。但以理對看見基督顯現,與兩次看見天使迦百列的反應是極不同的(8:16;9:21)。這次,三一上帝又派天使迦百列去向但以理解釋那異象(8:16;10:9~11)。隨著但以理與上帝的關係日益增進,上帝就更多啟示祂自己,以及更多異象的細節。但以理也就學會更多靈界的爭戰--諸如上帝的天使和黑暗勢力的交戰。當時,攔阻迦百列的波斯的國君,可能就是撒但自己,因撒但激動波斯的諸王去阻止重建聖殿的事。這時天使長米迦勒前來幫助迦百列,使他能脫身到但以理那裡去。顯然,米迦勒的任務是管理上帝的百姓,也因著他的力量,迦百列才能戰勝這世界上執政的和掌權的(10:21)。在此,我們看到上帝的使者,不只向祂所愛的僕人但以理解說屬靈的真理,更要加添給他力量。今天,上帝對那尋求祂自己和真理的忠心僕人,也同樣要加添力量並開導他們。

禱告

        主阿,感謝您,因您應允那等候您的人要重新得力。您的聖言和能力要啟迪我們的心靈,使我們認識您。奉主耶穌基督的名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Daniel 9 &10
Key Verse:"... I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved..."(Daniel 9:23)
Overview

        At this point, Daniel had been in captivity nearly seventy years. Knowing of the prophecy of Jeremiah, which predicted the downfall of the king of Babylon (which had just happened) and the end of the seventy-year captivity (Jer. 25:11-12), Daniel would have known that the time for freedom was near. This prompted him to seek the Lord with prayer and supplication. His prayer is exemplary, in that he came before the Lord humbly and sincerely ("fasting, sackcloth, and ashes", 9:3), worshipped the Lord by contemplating some of the Lord's great attributes, confessed his sin (and that of his nation), and then petitioned the Lord and made intercession. Like Moses, the great intercessor, Daniel appealed to the Lord's mercy. Daniel reasoned that since God's people and His chosen city of Jerusalem were objects of reproach, He should for His name's sake bring their deliverance, that He might receive glory and honour.

        Daniel received an immediate answer to his prayer. Even before he stopped praying, the angel Gabriel came to him a second time to help him understand the vision (8:16; 9:21) and to tell him that he was "greatly beloved" by the Lord (9:23). In the providence of God, Daniel's prayer, in effect, brought about the plan of God to end the captivity of His people.

        The Lord honoured Daniel by revealing to him the time when the Messiah would come to His people. No other prophet had been so privileged and honoured to receive such a precise Messianic prophecy. The "seventy weeks" is literally "seventy sevens" or seventy times seven years, a time period of 490 years. The Captivity lasted seventy years, but the period between the Captivity and the coming of the Messiah would be seven times that. The prophetic time clock was to start when the Jews began rebuilding the city of Jerusalem. The seventy sevens are subdivided into seven, sixty-two, and one. There are numerous speculations as to the time and events in each division, but it is very interesting to note that the seven and sixty-two sevens, totalling 483 years, is remarkably close to the period of time between the rebuilding of Jerusalem (and the Temple) until the beginning of the public ministry of "the Anointed One", our Lord Jesus the Messiah. Within three and a half years Jesus was crucified, that is, in the midst of the "one week", when He was "cut off" for the sins of many, made "reconciliation for iniquity" and brought in "everlasting righteousness" (9:24, 26-27). Some commentators believe that the last half of that one final week was suspended according to God's chronology and that it will be fulfilled in the end-times. Regarding the exact truth of the times, the Lord has chosen for it to be a mystery to us, but what we can be sure of is that the Lord has His own timetable for everything, and He will providentially overrule. The prominent truth in all these prophecies is that earthly kingdoms will come and go, but the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ will prevail and last forever.

        Chapter ten through to the end of the book of Daniel constitutes one unit of prophecy which records Daniel's final vision. It fills in the details of the sketches given in his previous prophecies. Chapter ten is the introduction to the vision that follows. We learn that it came to him two years after the Jewish exiles were permitted to return to their homeland, which was in Cyrus' third year. The date explains the reason for his mourning, for at that time those rebuilding the temple were experiencing much trouble and opposition (9:25); the work had even come to a stop (cf. Ezra 4:4-5). He may also have been mourning because of the indifference of many of the Jews who, although able, did not return when given the opportunity. By this time, Daniel was about 90 years old, which may be the reason he did not return himself, but another reason is that he had been called to be a missionary to his people in the land of their deportation.

        Daniel was likely conducting a prayer service by the Tigris River when he alone beheld the awesome and terrific sight of the glorious man dressed as a high priest. This most certainly was the pre-incarnate Lord Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest, for the similarities to both Ezekiel's and the Apostle John's visions of Him are numerous (cf. Ezk. 1:26-28; Rev. 1:12-18). Daniel's reaction to this magnificent manifestation (a Christophany) shows that it was not the angel Gabriel whom he had already met twice before (8:16; 9:21). Once again, the second Person of the Trinity, whose voice Daniel had heard before (but did not see), sent the angel Gabriel to help Daniel understand the coming vision (8:16; 10:9-11). As Daniel grew closer to the Lord, the Lord revealed to him more of Himself and more prophetic details. He learned of the spiritual warfare that the angels of the Lord God had been engaged in against the prince of darkness and his demonic hosts. Gabriel had been engaging in battle against "the prince of the kingdom of Persia", likely a reference to Satan himself who was attacking the kings of Persia in order to stop the rebuilding of the Temple. For the first time we read about the Archangel Michael, who had come to help Gabriel and relieve him so that he might go and attend to Daniel. It is made clear that Michael was the angel given special charge over the Lord's people, and with Michael's help, Gabriel could succeed against the powers and principalities of this world (10:21). We see that the Lord sent his angel to not only illuminate His beloved servant Daniel regarding spiritual truth, but also to strengthen him. Still today the Lord will strengthen and enlighten His faithful and beloved servants who seek after Him and His truth.

Prayer

        Lord, thank You for Your Word which so often confirms that You will strengthen those who wait upon You. Thank 'You for Your Holy Word and the power of the Holy Spirit that illuminates our spirits and minds to Your understanding.
