VERS. XV.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

The abomination of desolation.

THESE words relate to that passage of Daniel, (Chap. IX. 27.) 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 which I would render thus, In the middle of that week, (namely, the last of the seventy) he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, even until the wing (or army) of abominations shall make desolate, &c. or, Even by the wing of abominations ma∣king desolate. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is An army, Esay VIII. 8. And in that sense Luke rendred these words. s 1.1 When you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, &c.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Let him that readeth understand.

This is not spoken so much for the obscurity as for the certainty of the Prophesie: as if he should say, He that reads those words in Daniel, let him mind well, that, when the army of the Prince which is to come, that army of abominations, shall compass round Jerusalem with a siege, then most certain destruction hangs over it; (for, saith Daniel, The people of the Prince which is to come, shall destroy the City, &c. the sanctuary, &c. vers. 26. And the army of abominations shall make desolate even until the consummation, and that which is determined shall be poured out upon the desolate.) Flatter not your selves therefore with vain hopes, either of future victory, or of the retreating of that army; but provide for your selves, and he that is in Judea let him fly to the Hills, and places of most difficult access: not into the City. See how Luke clearly speaks out this sense, in the twentieth verse of the one and twentieth Chapter.
