Know therefore and take note that from the going forth of the word to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks, and the street shall be built again, and the walls, in distressing times. And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain, and (the people that shall deny Him) shall not be His. And a people, with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And the end thereof shall be devastation, and after the end of the war there shall be the appointed desolation. And he shall confirm the covenant with many in one week; and in the middle of the week both victim and sacrifice shall fail. And there shall be in the Temple the abomination of desolation, and the desolation shall continue even unto the consummation and the end.'\" Because the prophet had said, \"Thou didst lead forth Thy people, and Thy name was pronounced upon Thy city and upon Thy people,\" Gabriel therefore, as the mouthpiece of God, says by implication: \"By no means are they God's people, but only thy people; nor is Jerusalem the holy city of God, but it is only a holy city unto thee, as thou sayest.\" This is similar to what we read in Exodus also, when God says to Moses, \"Descend, for thy people have committed sin\" (Exodus 32:7). That is to say, they are not My people, for they have forsaken Me. And so, because thou dost supplicate for Jerusalem and prayest for the people of the Jews, hearken unto that which shall befall thy people in seventy weeks of years, and those things which will happen to thy city...<br/><i>— Commentary on Daniel</i></p><p><b>Origen of Alexandria</b>: Therefore just as the people are God's when they do not sin but are no longer said to be his when they sin, so also the feats are the feats of sinners when they are hated by the Lord's soul, but when they are ordained by the Lord, they are called the Lord's.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF John 10.80</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"9389c262deb74ffe60a8cde7625986546aef462b97a97f071e52304db43a4fbc","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":4633,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"28c295d8bcb0dd609c76b1727902c2e7228df9c9a99bf173a1bf098fc0de079a","translator":null,"work":null}
