    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Nope, too far into the future!! Back up to 175-164 BC. Who WAS THAT "little horn" in Dan. 8:8-9? [8].....the great horn [Alex the Great [356-323 BC] was broken; and FOR IT came up FOUR notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. [9] And OUT OF ONE of them [four] came forth a "little horn",

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    You have gone way out into the far future of church-ianity's false interpretations about Daniel. Daniel was for Israel past, as Revelation is for the NT. Church future. So then, let's get back to Daniel, for the IDENTITY and answer of who the "little horn WAS, in Daniel 8. (See my ref. In post...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Let's not jump too far forward until the identity of the "little horn" is established. Most all of CHURCH-ianity has founded numerous false doctrines, according to their solidified denominational position, all because they have not digested the truth of what Gabriel described in Dan. 8. In my...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    You didn't digest the words of Gabriel's interpretation: Dan. 8 [Gabriel's interpretation] [8] Therefore the he goat [the 3rd beast] waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn [Alex the Great] was broken; and FOR IT came up FOUR notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. [9] And...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    For reasons of scripture in Dan.7 and Dan.8, I most certainly did ask the question correctly. Unfortunately, you may not find the answer, because you are off on a tangent, other than what Gabriel had interpreted for Daniel. I am opposed to the title of the following thread: Post in thread 'Why...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Dan. 2: [38] And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou [Neb's Babylon] art this head of gold.[39] And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    No! You missed the timing completely. Hear the words: Dan.7 [8] I considered the [ten] horns, and, behold, there came up AMONG them another little horn [who was NOT OF the ten], before whom [aforetime, prior to the little horn- AE-lV], there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots...

    Then maybe, from your point of view, you will have to tell who the four beasts were.

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    I am thinking that you do not understand Dan. 7:1-14 all that well, in regards to the timeline of succession for each of the four world ruling beasts. The fourth beast was the Roman Empire, as shown also in king Neb's dream. Dan. 2:31-35 https://roman-empire.net/maps/modern-day-countries/

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    When one looks at the symbolism of king Neb's image/statue, your concept of understanding is not all that hard to be believed. Dan. 2:31-35. [33] His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Focussing on the 4th beast, the Roman Empire, being symbolized as Iron, we see that it...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    To that I agree! God the Father, speaking through Jesus said: Luke 17 [35] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye [individually] shall not see me, until the time come when ye [individually] shall say, Blessed is he** that cometh in the name of the Lord, **aka...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Sorry, I don't see how the words "cut off" can be applied to cutting off 490 years from 2300 DAYS, unless of course one fabricates and rearranges the Hebrew scripture for "days" to "years", to suit their own form of doctrine. Dan. 8[14] And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Actually, the Hebrew word selection for the context of Dan. 9:24-27 is "decreed" and NOT "cut off" or "designate". H2850 חתך châthak khaw-thak' A primitive root; properly to cut off, that is, (figuratively) to decree KJV Usage: determine. Excluding "the wisdom of men", I am very certain that I...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Simply put, under the OC, "oil" was used for "anointing" the things of the Temple, as well as people who were chosen by God for His use and service, showing the anointing by "oil" to be that which was made holy (set apart). However, they at that time (of Israel) never had the permanent...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Yes, I agree with you, that you understood the time of 457 BC., but in time, what are you doing with the years that you did not account for (490 minus 457=33 years)?? Jesus mortally died when He was 33 yrs. old. I say that during those 33 years, it was the earthly "joint ministry" of both John...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    Whether you realize it or not, you have followed after the same error of interpretation as that of most all of "church-ianity", except that the SDAs have put a different "spin on it". Yes, the 70 weeks are 490 years, and were "determined"/decreed upon Israel. However, the 2300 days are literal...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part 2: "exceeding great"

    What??? You are the one saying that the 2300 days is actually 2300 years, being "cut off" from the 70 weeks, and then you fabricate that "cut off" to show up in 1844 AD, attempting to show that being the "cleansing of the Heavenly Sanctuary". And you think that I'm on the wild side??? I am more...

    Dan. 9 [21] Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer**, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    You are close but so far away. It's about the latter time OF THE 3rd Beast!! Their kingdoms are collectively in the PLURAL, meaning the four individual kingdoms were ALL OF the SINGULAR Grecian Empire, the 3rd Beast.
