(* Why this utterance of the Spirit in connection with Dan? The answer appears to be this.-Dan is here seen as the type of that false one whose kingdom will precede the kingdom of Christ; and hence’ at the mention of his name, the hopes of the Patriarch, in reference to the deliverance of Israel, are awakened. Thus, though encompassed with trouble, the remnant hereafter will lift up their heads, because their redemption draweth nigh.)
