In yesterday’s reading in Daniel, we heard Daniel’s moving prayer. Note that he had been seeking the Lord with limited fasting for 3 weeks. Then the angel Gabriel is again sent with a message for Daniel, who needs to be strengthened in order to hear and understand the message. Note that the phrase ‘anoint the Most Holy Place’ is probably referring to what we read about that our High Priest Jesus did in heaven. We read about that recently in Hebrews. And the seventy sets of seven, or seventy weeks and 62 weeks, are both a difficult translational problem and a prophetic mystery. If we could solve the mystery, then we would know how to translate it.

Yesterday’s chapter was again full of contrasts. Israel is God’s fruitful vine, and he slays the great sea serpent (which pictures Satan) for his vine. But then God also calls Israel a stupid nation and vows that they will not escape the punishment they deserve.
