Daniel - 9:3 Meaning
“And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
9:1-3 Daniel learned from the books of the prophets, especially from Jeremiah, that the desolation of Jerusalem would continue seventy years, which were drawing to a close. God's promises are to encourage our prayers, not to make them needless; and when we see the performance of them approaching, we should more earnestly plead them with God.
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
