Daniel 12:4

Reader! do not overlook the sweetness of this verse. As Daniel would not live to see the accomplishment of these things, it was enough for him to be made the medium, the instrument in the Lord's hand, of giving this prophecy to the Church. But as the things here predicted have been fulfilled, and are fulfilling still in the earth, how gracious was it to us, in the present hour, that this greatly beloved Daniel thus was appointed to minister to our comfort. Oh! gracious Lord, how plain is it that thou hast presided over thy Church in all ages!
