We learn that this vision is two thousand threehundreddai; long; that days are to be reckoned years.-lst, By command of God; 2d, By the example ofJacob; and 3d, By the fulfilment of the seventy weeksnf this vision, at the crucifixion of the Messiah. Welearn by the instruction of Gabriel that the seventyweeks were a part of the vision, and that Daniel wascommanded to begin the seventy weeks at thefbrth of the decree, to build the streets and walgngsJerusalem in tronblous times; that this decree, given toEzra, was exactly 490 years, to a day, before the cruci-Exion of Christ; and that thereis no account, by Bibleor any historian, that there was ever any, other decreerebuild the streets or walls of Jerusalem.
