Greetings again CTK, This is the predominant view that I have heard in my fellowship for many years. I attended a Daniel home study class in 1966, with my brother-in-law as the speaker, and under the guidance of an older brother. My pencil notes on that occasion taken from his whiteboard are as...

Greetings again CTK, Just briefly, I consider the main fulfilment of the 2300 evening/mornings is from BC 334-333 the defeat of the Medo-Persian Ram by the Grecian Alexandrian Goat to AD 1967 when the Jews recaptured Jerusalem. I will be interested in how you bring in your three time periods...

Greetings CTK, I am at a loss as to what is your view of the 2300 and the 1290, 1335 time periods. I am prepared to wait until you give further clarification. I have a strong opinion on the 2300 days and only a tentative opinion on the 1290 and 1335 days. I will wait to see if what you expound...

Greetings again Stream, Much invective but no Biblical substance. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings Stream, Ezekiel 38 describes the invasion of the Land of Israel by the King from the North, and I understand this confederacy to be headed up by Russia. The opposition to this invasion seems to be ineffective. Yes, you seem to own what you claim concerning others. America could well...

Greetings again Matthias, And yet Robert E. Lee was thoroughly immersed in the American Civil War, while a few faithful refused to blow the brains out of their fellow brethren in the north or south and were granted conscientious objection status. The front page of the regional newspaper...

Greetings Matthias, God has used war in the past to Judge and Purify His People. He raised up Assyria and then Babylon for this purpose. Isaiah 8:5–8 (KJV): 5 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying, 6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in...

Greetings again Keiw, What is the "they" that you are talking about? Is it about some or much of the detail concerning End Times events, or is it Doctrine, the Truth of the Gospel? Jesus and the Apostles firmly established the One Faith, the Truth of the Gospel in the First Century, defined in...

Greetings again Keiw, Daniel 12:4 is not speaking about changing doctrines, because the Truth of the Gospel was preached by Jesus and the Apostles and held by the faithful for the last 2000 years. What Daniel 12:4 is speaking about is the fact that the details of the events of the Last Days...

Greetings again CTK, I appreciate your lengthy response, but I believe that the Little Horn of Daniel 8 is the Pagan Roman Empire in its development in the East, and Daniel 8:11 speaks of the crucifixion of Jesus and the events of AD 70. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings Keiw, I suggest that you are misusing Daniel 12:4 here. It is not speaking about "truths" in general, and no doctrine was hidden until the last days, and no doctrine needed to be altered in the last days. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings CTK, I appreciate your response and agree with what you have stated except for the above comment. I consider that the Little Horn of Daniel 7 is the Papacy and Daniel 7 speaks mainly of the Western portion of the Roman Empire and speaks of a religious power which also gains the...

Greetings face2face, Yes, I would agree that the 144,000 is symbolic. Our Senior Sunday School Class spent quite a few years considering the Book of Revelation, and I acquired a general knowledge of the Book, with a more comprehensive view on some sections. I was willing to accept our Senior...

Greetings face2face and Jay Ross, I am interested in the subject of Daniel and I liked your opening post, and I am interested in how you develop your exposition. I agree that we need to avoid Greek mythology. I endorse the interpretation that the little horn of the fourth beast of Daniel 7 is...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, I appreciate the response and the time and effort that you have given to present the JW perspective on a number of items. I have received and accepted the Apostolic Message or Gospel of the Kingdom and the Name and was baptised by water immersion when I was 21 Acts...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, (Part 2 of 2) I believe that there is "ONE body" of the saved from Adam until the return of Christ. This ONE body will inherit the blessings promised to Abraham including the Land of Israel. There are not two groups, one in heaven, the other on the earth. The Kingdom...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, (Part 1) Yes, I prefer "angels" as it directly gives who the Psalmist is talking about. The LXX, KJV and some modern translations have "angels", but others are similar to the NWT and have "heavenly beings". At least the NWT do not translate this as "God" as does some...

The following is a brief consideration of the last four chapters of the JW book “What Can the Bible Teach Us?” mainly highlighting items that I disagree with. Chapter 16: Choose to Worship God Most of this chapter is satisfactory. I personally do not keep Christmas though I do not worry if some...

The following is a brief consideration of the next four chapters of the JW book “What Can the Bible Teach Us?” Again my initial focus will be to highlight the items which I find difficult and that I do not agree with. Chapter 12: How can you become God’s friend? A large portion of this chapter...

I considered Chapters 1-4 of the JW book “What Can the Bible Teach Us?” in the Opening Post, Chapter 5 in Reply #1 and Chapters 6-8 in Reply #2. Again my initial focus will be to highlight the items which I find difficult and that I do not agree with. Chapter 9: Is the end of the world near? I...
