Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 8:26

26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told, is true : wherefore shut thou up the vision , for it shall be for many days.

i. e. Of the 2300 dayes before, ver. 14. This exposition of it is true, plain and certain, and therefore to be believed, and seriously minded.

Lay it up in thy heart, keep it secret, reveal it to none till it be fulfilled. He doth not mean that it should be concealed from the people of God that were wise in Heart, for they were concerned in it, and therefore it was revealed to Daniel. But he would not have it revealed to the Chaldeans, and profane Heathens, and therefore it was written in Hebrew and not in Chaldee. It was to be fulfilled in after times, and therefore to be safely laid up, and wisely to be thought on and improved. Therefore it is added, for it shall be for many dayes: 300 years after this in the time of the Seleucidae; long after Daniels dayes, and that Generation. See Rev. 22.10.
