Exercitatio XIV.
Daniels Weeks, Chap. 9.24, 25, 26, 27. proposed unto consideration. Attempt of a Learned man to prove the coming and suffering of the Messiah not to be intended; examined. First Reason from the difficulties of the Computation, and differences about it, removed. Whether this place be used in the New Testament. Objection from the time of the Beginning of this computation, answered. Distribution of the LXX Weeks into VII, LXII. and one. Reason of it. Objection thence answered. The cutting of the Messiah, and the destruction of the City, not joined in one Week. Things mentioned, v. 24. peculiar to the Messiah. The Prophecy owned by all Christians to respect the Messiah. The Events mentioned in it, not to be accommodated unto any other. No Types in the words, but a naked prediction. The Prophecies of Daniel not principally intending the Churches of the latter days. Straits of time intimated when they fell out. Coincidence of Phrases in this and other Predictions considered. Removal of the daily Offering, and causing the Sacrifice and Offering to cease, how they differ. The Desolation foretold. Distribution of the LXX. Weeks accommodated unto the Material Jerusalem. Objections removed. Distribution of things contained in this Prophecy. Argument from the computation of time warranted. First neglected by the Jews, then cursed; yet used by them vainly. Concurrent Expectation and Fame of the coming of the Messiah upon the Expiration of Daniels Weeks. Mixture of things good and penal. Abarbinel's Figment rejected. Four hundred and ninety years the time limited. Fancy of Origen, and Apollinaris. The true Messiah intended. Proved from the Context. The Names and Titles given unto him. The work assigned to him. That work particularly explained; the expressions vindicated. To make an end of Transgression what. To seal up sins: To reconcile iniquity: To bring in everlasting Righteousness. To seal Vision and Prophet. Messiah how cut off. The Covenant strengthened. Ceasing of the daily Sacrifice. Perplexity of the Jews about these things. Opinion of Abarbinel and Manasse Ben Israel. Cyrus not intended. Not Herod Agrippa. Not Magistracy. Africanus, Clemens, and Eusebius noted. Messiah came before the ceasing of the daily Sacrifice. Chronological Computation, not necessary.
