DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 10 – Daniel’s Last Vision
VERSE 2. In those days I Daniel was

mourning three full weeks. 3. I ate no pleasant

bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my

mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till

three whole weeks were fulfilled.

The marginal reading for “three full weeks” is

“weeks of days;” which term Dr. Stonard

thinks is here used to distinguish the time

spoken of from the weeks of years, brought to

view in the preceding chapter.

For what purpose did this aged servant of God

thus humble himself and afflict his soul? —

Evidently for the purpose of understanding

more fully the divine purpose concerning

events that were to befall the church of God in

coming time; for the divine messenger sent to

instruct him says, “From the first day that thou

didst set thine heart to understand,” etc. Verse
