Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 9:17

17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lords sake .

1 Here the Prophet is most concerned for the Sanctuary, and place of Worship, a Type not only of the Church, and the Worship of God, but also of Christ; because in all these the Lord is greatly concerned in Honour, especially considering 2 His Argument; for the Lords sake: for Christs sake the Messiah: who is meant here, I prove, 1 because the concurrent Testimony of the best Interpreters is for this Interpretation; and the Synod of Sardi[illegible: 1 letter]. 2 Because this construction is most agreeable to the Text and the Hebrew: the contrary, is against it; forced and figurative, when there is no need of it. 3 The plurality of persons is express'd thus. 4 The word Lord is often attributed in Old Testament to Christ, Psal. 110.1. and New Testament, Luk. 1.43. and 2.11. Ioh. 20.28. Rev. 17.14. 5 Because the Iewes had none else to trust to for Salvation; Ioh. 14.13. Act. 15.11. Eph. 3.12 1 Tim. 2.5. Thus in the Old Testament, Psal. 80.15, 16, 17. for the Sons sake, whom he calls the Son of Man, ver. 17. for so the Chald. Paraphrase, for the King Messiah. So upon that place, Psal. 72.1. Give the King thy judgments, and thy righteousness to the Kings son; i. e. the King the Messiah. 2 Sam. 7.21. for thy words sake, i. e. Christ, Ioh. 1.1. 2 Sam. 12.25. he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord of whom Solomon was a Type.
