§ 5 Gen 49. v. 1. And Jacob called unto his Sons, and said, Gather your selves together, that I may tell you what shall befall you. [Greek or Hebrew], in the latter days, or the last days, or end of the Days. Jonathan Paraphraseth on these words; after that, or although the Glory of the Divine Majesty was revealed unto him, [Greek or Hebrew], the time, (that is the express time) wherein the King Messiah was to come, was hid from him, and therefore he said, come and I will declare unto you what shall befall you in the End of the days. This expression of [Greek or Hebrew], the End or last of the days, is an usual Periphrasis of the days of the Messiah in the Old Testament. To that purpose it is used, Numb. 24. v. 14. Deut. 4. v. 30. Isa. 2. v. 2. Hos. 3. v. 5. Micah. 4.1. and our Apostle expressly refers unto it, Heb. 1.1. Now whereas this Expression denotes no certain season of time, but only indefinitely directs to the last days ⟨p. 97⟩of the Posterity of Jacob continuing a distinct Church and people for those Ends for which they were originally separated from all others, and this being the first place wherein it is used, and which all the rest refer unto, the Paraphrast here took occasion both to mention the Messiah of whose time of coming this was to be the constant description, as also to intimate the Reason of the frequent use of this Expression; which was because the precise time of his coming was hidden even from the best of the Prophets, unto whom the Glory of the Divine Majesty was in other things revealed. Besides the ensuing Predictions in the Chapter do sufficiently secure his application of the days mentioned, unto the time of the Messiah.
