Jay, I thank you for taking the time to respond.... I don't see anything in your interpretations that comes out of Daniel. Sorry.

First, there is no need to bring in the discussion of the 2300 days since that is in Chapter 8. It is difficult to just try and make it through Chapter 2... so let's keep with th 4 kingdom's discussion.... for now. Secondly, please to not tell me or anyone what to think or not to think ---

You are correct. It does not name Rome, but it certainly gives us all the characteristics and attributes of Rome. It was the kingdom that was affiliated with iron weapons. It crushed everything in its path. It was the next great after Greece. It was the kingdom in place at the time the 70 weeks...

Dougg, this is before the Jews returned to Jerusalem… not after he cross.

No, these are the people that went into exile to Babylon and would return to Jerusalem BEFORE the arrival of Jesus on the first day of the 70th week prophecy. That is what the 70 weeks prophecy is all about - their return to Jerusalem.

The The fig tree parable has nothing to do with the 70 weeks of years prophecy… why would you bring in that when Daniel specifically tells us who, when, where the restoration of the Jews and the city will take place ?

Dougg, the “dream sequence” verses provide the 4 kingdoms- verses 32 and 33. And verse 36 confirmed they are the “dream sequence” verses.

Dougg, the 4 and only 4 kingdoms are the same as yours, and I provided the two verses in Chapter 7 that confirms there are only 4 in Chapter 2. Your 5th is part of the 4... you can not ignore (7:3, 17). And Daniel specifically tells us in verse 36 they (31-35) are the "dream sequence" of...

Jay, thank you for your detailed response. If you do not mind, I would respectfully ask that you too might participate in this process so we can all provide their interpretations..... but in a slow and methodical view. This "process" will only focus on Chapter 2 in Daniel for now.

Great... now here are the two sections or types of verses that I have found it necessary to distingush... (this took so long because when I attempted to interpret the later chapters in Daniel - 7,8, 9, etc.) nothing made sense). Meaning, most of Daniel is not written in chronological order...

Ok and thanks... I will respond to your next post

Thanks Dougg, but perhaps we might try and stay with Chapter 2 since the other early chapters clearly stay wit Babylon. But Chspter 2 does give us a big picture view of the 4 kingdoms on the outside of the box and the detail verses (41-45) of the 4th kingdom. So we can leave the other...

Well, if you guys do not mind, I would like to do a little re-start on this topic. And perhaps it might be better if I ask the question to learn your opinions on the 3,4, or 5 etc., number of periods this book can be carved into. So, I have mentioned that first section of the Book of Daniel...

I know ! Sorry, but I cut / pasted a section directly from my commentary to respond to this issue being discussed.

9:24f-Bring in everlasting righteousness Daniel had recorded the three types of sin in 9:24: c, d, and e. Man has been guilty of these since the fall of Adam. As a result of his sin, Adam (man) was removed from the Garden. His sinful nature could not be found in His presence. There is no...

Hobie, there is no question that Titus and the Roman army completely destroyed everthing in Jerusalem and beyond. Nothing was sparred. This was prophecised in Chapter 9 of Daniel. But let me ask you a question: Was the physical destruction of the Temple, the Sanctuary, the walls and the...

Thanks Marty. First, I am not a student of Hebrew language AT ALL, but it is not written like our English language. Second, Daniel maybe written in an “apocalyptic” style, and third, one can easily see the many translations that are out there … they can say very different things. And one other...

Very true! But God loves ALL… and we are all sinners. But, if He is still “blinding” them in part (whatever that might mean), then ALL Israel will be saved… but what then do we do with the Gentiles over the past 2000 years who did not accept Jesus? Talk about a “mystery”!

Very nice and thank you. If you do not mind…. I am still confused to what is meant by “blindness in part…” And here is how I am looking at this: when Jesus went to the cross, there was not one Jew who believed He was their Messiah- not one. After the Sabbath, they went to His grave site to...

Marty, He doesn’t! His arrival is found in the “restorative” verse; He will come AFTER 7 and 62 weeks. This of course means, there is only one week remaining in the 70 weeks prophecy. He will arrive on the first day of the 70th week to begin His ministry. This is the same day He will be baptize...
