하나님 약속한 70년이 다 되어 감을 알게 직후 다니엘이 취한 그것
2026.8.25
(단9:1-19)
1 In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom-- 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. 4 I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, 5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. 6 We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 "Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame--the men of Judah and people of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to you. 8 O LORD, we and our kings, our princes and our fathers are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. 9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; 10 we have not obeyed the LORD our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. 11 All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you. "Therefore the curses and sworn judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against you. 12 You have fulfilled the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us great disaster. Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem. 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth. 14 The LORD did not hesitate to bring the disaster upon us, for the LORD our God is righteous in everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him. 15 "Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. 16 O Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and your wrath from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill. Our sins and the iniquities of our fathers have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn to all those around us. 17 "Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. 18 Give ear, O God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For your sake, O my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name."

다리오의 나이 62세
다니엘의 나이 약 81세~82세
다니엘은 예레미야 선지서를 읽던 중
렘25:11-12 렘29:10의 내용을 마주하게 되었던 것 같다
다니엘은 정확하게 알게 되기를 ‘that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years’ 성전 파괴로부터 재건의 기간까지 70년 임을...
물론 하나님의 70년 약속은
정치적 해방(B.C. 605~536)으로도 성취되었고, 종교적 예배 회복(B.C. 586~516)으로도 정교하게 성취되었음을 알게 되지만
다니엘은 후자(後者)의 해석(解釋)을 하고 있음을 본다
그런 사실을 발견하고 알게 되고 깨닫게 된 다니엘이 즉시 보인 태도는
자신의 민족 전체를 대표해서 하나님께 조상들로부터 자신의 세대에 이르기까지의 죄를 자복하고
회개기도(悔改祈禱)를 하나님께 드리며
자비긍휼(慈悲矜恤)을 베푸사 약속하신 언약을 지켜 달라는 간구(懇求)를 하나님께 드리는 것을 본다
다니엘 이후의 우리는
예루살렘이 아닌 계21:1-4에 등장하는 신천신지(新天新地)
마치 예레미야 선지자의 시대와 같은 현실...
결국 불나방 같은 세태를 바라보아야만 했던 그의 마음이 내 마음이 되고 있다
이제 나는 바울처럼 진아사대신명(盡我事待神命) 하다가
"전제와 같이 내가 벌써 부어지고 나의 떠날 기약이 가까웠도다 나는 선한 싸움을 싸우고 나의 달려갈 길을 마치고 믿음을 지켰으니 이제 후로는 나를 위하여 의의 면류관이 예비되었으므로 주 곧 의로우신 재판장이 그 날에 내게 주실 것이며 내게만 아니라 주의 나타나심을 사모하는 모든 자에게도니라" 라고 말했던 딤후4:6-8의 고백을 할 수 있는 그 날을 맞이하는 것이
나의 소망(所望)
나의 간구(懇求) 그리고 목표(目標)...
주님!
임마누엘(以馬內利)
성령충만동적영성(聖靈充滿動的靈性)
여주동행(旅主同行)을 그날 그 때까지 하여 주옵소서...주여!
