I see the AoD mentioned in Dan 9.27 as being the same AoD mentioned in the Olivet Discourse.
Me too. There is only one great tribulation, and one abomination of desolation. The shadow of that was long ago when that Greek leader set up an abomination in the holy place.
The context of when the abomination of desolation is set up in Mat 24 is the very end time. The gospel was not preached in all the world in 70AD
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24:15
And in Luke 21 it seems pretty apparent to me that Luke's version refers to the Roman armies surrounding Jerusalem in place of Matthew and Mark who call that event an AoD.
No. Luke clearly identified what days he was talking about. (rather Jesus clarified what He was talking about)
Luke 21:22
For these be the
days of vengeance, that
all things which are written may be fulfilled.
That tells us exactly when it is referring to. No doubt. Now the pattern of prophesy in the bible is to often start at one event, and then jump far into the future. I would think that the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD was included, but not the main or end focus of the prophesy.
So for me, the AoD in Dan 9 and the AoD in the Olivet Discourse is the same thing, and Jesus identified it in Luke as armies surrounding Jerusalem, to destroy that city and the temple.
As mentioned an application is there but the main focus is the Tribulation/wrath of Good when all prophesy is fulfilled. Remember that in the final years and days of the Tribulation Jerusalem is surrounded big time!
There is a future period of trouble not identified as an AoD, but rather, identified as the Reign of Antichrist.
The Tribulation is not the AOD, but the AOD is something that happens in that seven years. Just like the tribulation is not the two witnesses, or the antichrist etc. Those things are things that we see in the tribulation period.
Dan 7 refers to this period as 3.5 years. The book of Revelation identifies it as 1260 days.
You do realize a bible year is 360 days? When I use a calculator I found that 1260 days divided by 360 = 3.5
I believe people confuse the 1290 days of Antiochus 4's reign with the prophecy of Antichrist's reign because both are mentioned in Dan 12. However, at that time, both these events were still future to Daniel's generation. Today, we are only looking forward to the reign of Antichrist.
No. The extra 30 days is something that is part of wrapping things up after Jesus returns. You are getting focused on the diving board
and losing sight of the deep end of the prophesy pool.
But thanks for recognizing my post on this. And you can feel assured that I'm not hostile to other points of view--I know there is a lot of disagreement between various schools of interpretation.
I see nothing wrong with seeking.
