The Galatian 2:9 agreement was made after Peter went to Cornelius. The argument is very valid and by ignoring it problems arise like the one we’re discussing. When were the Gentiles part of the diaspora?

The word stranger is <3927> which simply means residing in a strange country. Those who were dispersed were residing in a strange country. If this isn’t referring to the Jews, then when were the Gentiles dispersed? Also we know from Galatians 2:9 that James, Peter, and John had an agreement...

I agree that the Israel of God contains both Jew and Gentiles but 1 Peter 2:9-10 isn’t directly referring to that. The Jews were not a people in times past when they were in the diaspora, 1 Peter 1:1 to the strangers scattered (<1290> diaspora) … 1 Peter 2:10 doesn’t say “in times past we’re...

To me, saying the AOD has to be an abomination to the Lord, doesn’t work. The AOD is something we see. Another problem that I see is the power Jesus had to forgive sins prior to the cross isn’t included in the typology. Then there is the problem where Antiochus is credited with taking away the...

The Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. There can be no doubt that Jesus had the power to forgive sins prior to the cross, else He lied, and we both know that’s an impossibility. Daniel 12:11 says from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that...

Yea, but we’re talking about Jesus being the typology. The daily sacrifice was no longer necessary for the man sick of the palsy in Matthew 9:6. It didn’t matter whether that man participated in the physical daily sacrifices or not, his sins were forgiven. Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on...

Well Matthew 21:42 was spoken prior to the cross and Jesus said at that time it was marvelous in our eyes. There was no reason to think that didn’t apply to those at that time.

Alright, if Jesus was the typology then He removed the daily sacrifice when He forgave sins prior to the cross, right? Matthew 9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive...

Right, God Himself may view it as an abomination but we believers don’t. The instructions in Matthew 24:15 says “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation”. It doesn’t say when Gods sees the abomination. We believers don’t see the cross as an abomination, therefore Matthew 24...

I understand that’s your position but believers don’t look at the cross as an abomination, they see it as a wonderful, marvelous gift that God has given us.

Ok, so when Matthew 24:15 says “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation”, that particular statement and the instructions that follow aren’t meant for believers? Since believers will see it as marvelous but unbelievers will see it as an abomination?

Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by...

Fair enough, John wrote the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter. The fifth seal was obviously in the past, no question about it.

Luke 1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, Luke had a “perfect” understanding, meaning he read the book of Daniel and understood, thus was able to write what he did. Matthew and...

So then we can wholeheartedly accept Luke’s interpretation of the AOD as a more accurate interpretation?

I agree, they may not have fully understood what the AOD was but most certainly Luke did, else he wouldn’t have been able to give the instructions he did.

No, they had the Old Testament. If they would’ve had the New Testament then they would’ve known the answer to the question. Apparently you know from the New Testament that it’s going to 3.5 years till Christ comes after the question is asked so you contradict yourself when you say “the gospel...

I’m not assuming, vs 9 tells us they had the Word. You are assuming they didn’t have the Word, when you place this as a future event.

If you were one of the martyrs would you ask the question? Why would do something like that? That can be true, in verse 9 they are slain for the word of God and their testimony. The fact is nobody is going to be asking questions they already know the answer to, that would be showing a lack of...

So you think Jesus returned 3.5 years after they asked the question? Obviously they asked the question prior to the book of Revelation being written. Nobody today is going to die and go to heaven and ask the question of how long. Everybody who’s read Revelation chapter 6 knows the answer is “a...
