Kimchi interprets the Angel to be sent before him, the Angel of Gods presence from Heaven, to lead the people out of their Captivity, as of old he went before them in the Wilderness when they came out of Egypt. But we are better taught, who this Messenger was, Matth. 11.10. Mark 1.2. As for the Lord whom they sought, he speaks plainly, [Greek or Hebrew]; This is the King the Messiah, and this the Angel of the Covenant; he adds indeed the old Story about Elijah, and his zeal for the Covenant: whence he had the honour to preside at Circumcision, to see the Covenant observed, and may be thence called the Angel of the Covenant. But it is plain in the words, and confessed by Aben Ezra, that the Lord whom they sought, and the Angel of the Covenant are the same. And as to these words, [Greek or Hebrew], he shall come suddenly unto his Temple, he adds in their Explication; [Greek or Hebrew], because the time of the end is not revealed nor unfolded in the Book of Daniel. It is said he shall come suddenly, because there is no man that knows the day of his coming before he came. We grant that the precise day of his coming, was not known before he came; but that the time of it was foretold, limited and unfolded in the Book of Daniel, so far as the season and age of it would admit, was made evident, all future expectation declared to be void, and that in the Book of Daniel, we shall immediately demonstrate. At present we have proved, and find that they cannot deny, but that he was to come unto the second Temple, whilst it was yet standing.
Kimchi interprets the Angel to be sent before him, the Angel of Gods presence from Heaven, to lead the people out of their Captivity, as of old he went before them in the Wilderness when they came out of Aegypt. But we are better taught, who this Messenger was, Matth. 11.10. Mark 1.2. As for the Lord whom they sought, he speaks plainly, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉; This is the King the Messiah, and this the Angel of the Covenant; he adds indeed the old Story about Elijah, and his zeal for the Covenant: whence he had the honour to preside at Circumcision, to see the Covenant observed, and may be thence called the Angel of the Covenant. But it is plain in the words, and confessed by Aben Ezra, that the Lord whom they sought, and the Angel of the Covenant are the same. And as to these words, , he shall come suddenly unto his Temple, he adds in their Explication; , because the time of the end is not revealed nor unfolded in the Book of Daniel.
