And to seale up vision and prophet Meaning that Messiah shall make good fulfill and performe all the prophecies that were of him of his Passion and resurrection putting an end to them all and that therefore we ought to looke for no other Luke 18.31 This we are also taught in the first Chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews at the first vers where the Apostle saith God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the Fathers by the Prophets hath in these last times spoken unto us by his sonne And to annoint the most Holy Or the Holinesse of Holinesse that is the most holy This is also meant of Christ who was endued with the Holy Ghost without measure even a very fountaine of holinesse was in him of whose fulnesse we have all received Joh. 3.34 Joh. 1.16 and 1 Cor. 1.30 In the time of the Law the Kings Priests Prophets when they first tooke their Offices upon them were annointed with holy oyle And this was the Ceremony of consecrating them to the service of God in those callings Now Christ was both King Priest and Prophet he had in himselfe alone all those dignities at once together to the which others were annointed severally and is therefore called by way of eminencie 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The Messias that is the annointed For though he were annointed with no materiall oyle yet he was spiritually annointed with the oyle of gladnesse above his fellowes Psal 45.7 that is with the holy Ghost And hereupon it is that Saint John saith Ye have an ointment from him that is holy 1 Joh. 2.20 22. Neither doth Christ himselfe but say as much and thereupon when he began to preach he sheweth how the Prophet Esay pointed at him in this Luke 4.18 It was an excellent saying therefore of Clemens of Alexandria Our Lord Christ saith he the holy of holies who came and fulfilled Vision and Prophet was annointed in the flesh with the Spirit of his Father whose materiall annointings therefore of the Law were nothing else but types figures of this spiritual annointing of Christ as Mr Livelie concludeth And I would to God he had kept him close to this in his interpretation of the next verse for it is as clear as the Sun at noon that there is but one and the same Messias spoken of through out his Prophecie And thus have we seen the generality of Daniels weekes Now followeth a more speciall and particular handling them divided into three parts in the verses following Vers The beginning of the 70 Weekes 25. From the out-going of the word This is commonly understood of the publishing or proclaiming of a decree by some of the Kings of Persia either Cyrus Darius or Artaxerxes for the restoring and building againe of Ierusalem But more likely it is that this out going of the word should be rendred from the executing of the word or Decree for the returne and building of Ierusalem that is as the Hebrew phrase fignifyeth for the building againe of Ierusalem Cyrus made such a decree in which though * Ezr. 1.2 3 4. and Chro. 36.22 23. Ezra mentions only the Temple as the chiefe part of the City yet Esay sheweth that even the building of the City was included as is plain by what is written in the four and fortyeth Chapter of his Prophecy at the 28 verse and in the Chapter next after at the 13 verse Darius seconded this when after Cyrus his time the building was hindred making the foresaid decree of Cyrus the ground of his favour and assistance After which Ezra comes up and by vertue of a commission granted to him from Artaxerxes Longimanus in the seventh yeare of his reigne doth much good Ezr. chap. 6. Ezr. chap. 7. and goeth fairely on in repairing the desolations and wall as is mentioned Ezr. 9.9 but could not effect the whole businesse for the Adversaries of the Iewes prevailed still against them And therefore 13 yeares after all this news is brought to Nehemiah at Shushan by Hanani and certain men of Iudah that the Iewes were still in great affliction and reproach for the wall of Ierusalem was broken down Neh. 1.2.3.4 and the gates thereof burnt with fire At the hearing whereof Nehemiah sat down wept and mourned certaine dayes and prayed before the God of heaven After which prayer because he was the Kings Cup-bearer he was to attend upon his place Neh. 2.5.6 c. and being observed to looke heavie and sad in the presence of the King the King demanded the reason which he told him and thereupon obtained leave and authority with letters of Commission from him to go up unto Iudah the City of his fathers Sepulchers that he might build it as may be seen in the first and second Chapters of Nehemiah This was in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes afore mentioned at which time Nehemiah came up and prevailed so farre against the Adversarie that the worke went on and a tythe was taken out of other Cities to come and dwell at Ierusalem the building whereof was never after hindred any more but by the end of the Seven Weekes mentioned afterwards was brought to perfection And hereto agreeth Petavius saying Exitus sermonis non Edicti solùm pronounciatio est sed executio lib. 12. De Doctr. Temp. cap. 35.
