I have reserved this verse to be read by itself, on purpose to call the Reader's more particular attention to it. Though Daniel knew that he was an enemy to God and his Christ; and though Daniel's zeal for God's cause threw aside all other considerations yet, there was, and always is a may be in every case, that as Daniel here said, the lengthening of a day of tranquility, and the putting off the evil day, might be allowed. Reader! such will be the day of vengeance, in terror, that like Moses at the Mount, the most faithful, when rejoicing in their own salvation, will rejoice with trembling in beholding the overwhelming horrors of the ungodly. Hebrews 12:21; Psalms 119:120; Habakkuk 3:16.
