Daniel 9:22 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:22

And he informed me, and talked with me
He informed him, by talking with him, of the will of God, to restore the captivity of his people, to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple, and of the coming of the Messiah: or, "he caused me to attend" ^F14, "and talked with me"; he excited his attention to what he had to say, and caused him to advert to his discourse, in order to understand it: and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth;
just now come from heaven, from the presence of God, and by his order: to give thee skill and understanding;
or, "to instruct thee in understanding" ^F15; to teach thee the knowledge and give thee the understanding of secret things, which otherwise could not be known; such as particularly the time of the coming of Christ, which the angels themselves knew not till it was revealed; and being made acquainted with it, one of them is employed to make it known to Daniel; who is the only prophet that fixes the exact time of it, and was favoured with this divine and heavenly skill of knowing it, and of being the publisher of it to others.

Daniel 9:22 In-Context

20 Aún estaba hablando, orando, y confesando mi pecado y el pecado de mi pueblo Israel, y derramaba mi ruego delante del SEÑOR mi Dios por el monte santo de mi Dios

21 aún estaba hablando en oración, y aquel varón Gabriel, al cual había visto en visión al principio, volando con vuelo, me tocó como a la hora del sacrificio de la tarde

22 Y me hizo entender, y habló conmigo, y dijo: Daniel, ahora he salido para hacerte entender la declaración

23 Al principio de tus ruegos salió la palabra, y yo he venido para enseñártela, porque tú eres varón de deseos. Entiende, pues, la palabra, y entiende la visión

24 Setenta semanas están determinadas {Heb. cortadas} sobre tu pueblo y sobre tu Santa Ciudad, para acabar la prevaricación, y concluir el pecado, y reconciliar la iniquidad; y para traer la justicia de los siglos, y sellar la visión y la profecía, y ungir el lugar santísimo
