Daniel 7:28 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Hitherto is the end of the matter Here the angel that spoke to me concerning these matters finished his discourse. As for me, my cogitations much troubled me The extraordinary circumstances of the vision made a great impression upon my mind; and it was matter of great trouble to me, to foresee the profanation of God's laws and worship, and the persecutions and calamities which should come upon his church and people. And my countenance changed in me The impression which this vision made upon me, weakened my spirits, and altered my complexion, as if I had had a fit of sickness. But I kept the matter in my heart I laid the matter up in my memory and heart, and meditated frequently upon it, and by that means was enabled to give an exact account of the vision, and its interpretation, in writing, for the use and benefit of others as well as myself; and that after ages might have this great proof of the Almighty's governing all the affairs of the world, and of his foreknowledge of future events.
