John Trapp on Daniel 8:14

Ver. 14. And he [illegible: 1 word] unto me] Not to the Angel, but to me, who ſhould have propoſed the queſtion: the holy Angel did it for me.

Ʋnto two thouſand and three hundred dayes] Heb. to the evening and morning two thouſand and three hundred, i. e. to ſo many natural dayes conſiſting of 24. hours, which in all do make up ſix years, three moneths, and twenty dayes. This point of skil Daniel here learneth of the Wonderful Numberer Chriſt, who hath all ſecrets in numerato, and will put a timely period to his peoples afflictions. Not full ſeven years did they ſuffer here, much leſſe Seventy, as once in Babylon. How he moderateth the matter, See on Rev. 2.10. How this Prophecy was fulfilled, See 1 Maccab. 1.12, 13, 14. 2 Maccab. 4.12, &c. with 1 Maccab. 4.52.
