2A The word about seventy years was a comfort to Jeremiah, assuring him that the miserable situation of his country and his people, of the temple and the city, would last only seventy years—29:10; Zech. 7:5.
4C Because Daniel understood the prophecies in Jeremiah 25:11-12 and 29:10-14 concerning the seventy years of Israel’s captivity, he set his face “toward the Lord God to seek Him in prayer”—Dan. 9:2-3:
51 但以理是神在地上的同工,他从经书上得知神的旨意,就根据经书的话为神的旨意祷告。
51 As God’s co-worker on earth, Daniel understood God’s will from the Scriptures and prayed for God’s will according to the Scriptures.
62 Daniel knew that God’s intention was to bring the children of Israel back to the land of Israel for the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and thus, he prayed for it; the return of the children of Israel to Jerusalem was God’s fulfilling of Daniel’s prayer.
