OLD TESTAMENT

The house — With all his goods and estate, which being justly forfeited to the king, he no less justly bestows it upon the queen, to compensate the danger to which Haman had exposed her. Came — Was by the queen's desire admitted into the king's presence, and family, and, as it seems, made one of the seven princes. Had told — How nearly he was related to her: And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

In this is declared the great mercies of God toward his church: Those that seek a mystery in this history tell us, that Ahasuerus typically representeth God the Father ruling over all kingdoms and creatures on earth; choosing some to be heirs of heaven, and purifying them for that purpose. Broughton F25 Ut supra. Darius Hystaspes, as divers both Jewish and Christian writers affirm; for his kingdom was thus vast, and he subdued India, as Herodotus reports; and one of his wives was called Atossa , which differs little from Hadassah , which is Esther's other name, Esther 2: Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy.

Ring — That ring which he had formerly given to Haman he now gives to Mordecai, and with it that power whereof this ring was a sign, making him, as Haman had been, the keeper of his signet. Set — As her steward, to manage that great estate for her as he thought fittest.

The fact that Daniel is describing the times in which we are still living makes the book especially interesting for the Christian. The book may be divided into two great parts. The first part chap. To start with, chapter 2 tells us of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and Daniel's interpretation of it. This dream contains Nebuchadnezzar's human view of the four world empires. This is an imposing view indeed!

The following chapters 4 - 6 not only show Daniel and his friends' exemplary faithfulness but also indicate various characteristics of the heathen world empires, which will find their culmination in the time of the end. Chapter 3 shows the idol worship, chapter 4 the human arrogance, chapter 5 the blasphemy and chapter 6 the deification of man.

The second part starts in chapter 7 with a second revelation on the four world empires but out of God's sight: The empires are like four wild beasts. Chapter 8 tells us of the second and third empire, chapter 9 of the end of the Babylonian captivity and of the Messiah and chapters 10 to 11 of the kings of the north Syria and the south Egypt. Chapter 12 forms the end in which we find the faithful remnant again.

There is a close relationship between the book of Daniel and the revelations concerning the future in the New Testament.

The 70 year weeks fall into three periods: The starting point for counting these years is the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem. To begin with follow the seven weeks, that is 49 years, in which Jerusalem was rebuilt under great threat from within and from without. This is partly described in the book of Nehemiah. Then follow the 62 weeks or years leading up to the Messiah.

But after the 69 weeks, that is years, the Messiah would be cut off and have nothing. If one deducts years one gets the year 28 AC. This can only relate to the death and ascension of the Lord Jesus. If one calculates these years as prophetical years of days each 12 x 30 days one gets The last year week still awaits its fulfilment. They are the last seven years before the millennium will be set up. Between the end of the 69 th and the beginning of the 70 th year week lies the actual time of grace, during which the "calendar of Israel" is not valid so to speak.
