    Daniels 70 weeks made Simple

    Dan. ch.9 has a powerful atoning purpose and I am referring to verse Dan 9:24. It is the most comprehensive 'atonement' text in the Old Testament IMO. Basically it is saying that the Cross would achieve these six things: First, it finished transgression for those who believe, so the demands of...

    Daniels 70 weeks made Simple

    When we count forward 483 years from Artaxerxes decree 1 Nisan 457 BC it comes out at 1 Nisan AD 27 - the time Jesus began his public ministry. When one considers how Daniel first predicts the decree nearly a century before it happened, then proceeds to telescope another 69 weeks further, we...

    Daniels 70 weeks made Simple

    So this year is not 2014 AD because the Bible doesn't say? :confused Sorry J, but Cyrus made his decree in 538 BC. The calendar said so.

    Daniels 70 weeks made Simple

    Cyrus issued his decree in 538 BC. Yes, his decree fits the description but our problem is that when we add 483 years to 538 BC, we arrive at a year of no particular significance. Did an anointed prince appear in 55 BC? No, nothing of interest happened at all. My chart counts precisely 69...

    Daniels 70 weeks made Simple

    Because an overly-detailed diagram would fall off the edge of the page. But would you like to know when each division takes place? Perhaps you don't realise that decree given by Cyrus was the same decree as that given by Darius and Artaxerxes?

    Daniels 70 weeks made Simple

    Takes a bit of nutting out doesn't it? :chin This prophecy must be the most deliberately obfuscated part of the entire Bible. The Jews deliberately muddled it because they didn't like who it counted to. Atheists late-date Daniels book because they disbelieve in predictive prophecy...

    For Pre-Tribs - A curious question

    Hi Destructus The point you are making is a fair one and is at the heart of the debate between Preterist / Futurist interpretation of the Olivet discourse. It is very easy to be persuaded either way, because both are right. Matt 24 is Ad 70. Matt 24 also is the endtime. There is only one way...

    What is "The Age to Come?"

    I'm back to thinking the 'age to come' is following Christ's return. But our problem with Matt 12:32 needs to be explained. I now think it is simply how we are reading it. It's not suggesting that blasphemy can be committed in the age to come. It means that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit...

    Millennial Bliss?

    I never thought of little Mary. Do people grow old and eventually die during the millennium?

    Millennial Bliss?

    In the Premil's millennium, wolves will dwell peacefully with lambs, leopards will lie down in unprecedented harmony with young goats, and calves will enjoy unspoiled millennial communion with the young lion, as a little child leads them through a beautiful millennial park. However, just as...

    What is "The Age to Come?"

    Fair point. I was reading it as if it was actually committed in "the age to come." It may be meant to be read that the unforgivable sin is so serious that, if committed in a previous age, it would still not be forgiven, even in a future age. I'm open to this interpretation provided that we...

    What is "The Age to Come?"

    To any who voted option #2 There seems to be a problem with the "age to come" being after Christs 2nd coming. If in this age to come there is no more sin, why does Jesus mention the possibility of blaspheming the Holy Spirit? Will some actually commit this sin during the Millennium? To any...

    What is "The Age to Come?"

    In Matthew 12:32 Jesus mentions "two ages." What two ages is he referring to? My study bibles, commentaries etc. tend to assume that "this age" is speaking of now - up until the 2nd coming, and "the age to come" is speaking of after Christ's 2nd coming, but what do we say? Using Jesus...

    The Prince that shall come?

    When you speak to me JB, reduce your use of bold, color and underlining. It appears as 'shouting,' is arrogant, and is an abuse of the text editing tools. Now, concerning your question, "Did Jesus Christ destroy Titus?" As I said before, no. My understanding is that the destruction of...

    The Prince that shall come?

    Then why am I reading you? Are the Church fathers less entitled than you to give their opinions. Or are you wiser than they? No; was Antiochus Epiphanes destroyed by the brightness of the coming of The Lord Jesus? Have you never heard of how initial fulfillments can be precursors to final...

    The Prince that shall come?

    Err yes, I forgot about him. In Jerome commentary on Dan 9:24-27 he quotes other early theologians and invites the reader to take his pick. After reading them all I get the impression there was as much difference of opinion about it then as what there is now. lol

    The Prince that shall come?

    Just found this. Here is a quote from the early historian, Eusebius. (AD 263 - 339) He identifies the 'other prince' as Titus and 'his people' as the Roman army.
