Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Daniel 10:17

The condition of the church under the gospel is a better dispensation than the law and the prophets, when God spake often by angels; but now by his Son, and that not in angelical shape and splendour, but as a mean man, in a meek and humble garb, and most familiar, Isaiah 61:1 1 Thessalonians 13:5 Acts 3:22.
