    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    The key is to read in the first few verses of each chapter who the king was ruling at the time. As a whole - the book of Daniel, from Nebuchadnezzar to Cyrus, spanned (597-528 BCE), 69 years of Daniel's life. 597 BCE is considered when the Jews went into Babylonian captivity. verses 31-36...

    Some of the other chapters than Daniel 2 speak about kingdoms after the Babylonian kingdom. But if you want to talk about Daniel 2... chapter 2 - Nebuchadnezzar (first year) - Nebuchadnezzar's dream about the great statue image...

    Jay, I am going to let you have the last word with your post. So that CTK's thread can get back on track.

    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    One approach to organizing the book of Daniel - which is essentially what you are attempting to do, I think - is to group chapters together according to the ruling king at the time for each chapter. chapter 1 - Nebuchadnezzar - Daniel carried away into Babylonian captivity, and then brought to...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Yes, that is my position. No that is not my basis for the rapture/resurrection. keras, actually in the text of Revelation 20:11-15 does not say anything about anyone receiving immortality in those verses. It is an assumption. The assumption is because them whose name are not found written...

    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    Jay, the reformers' thinking was that the pope/papacy was the Antichrist. I do not think that. So my understanding is not in line with the thinking of the reformers. Jay, the text of Daniel 7 does not say that the four beast are angels. The fours beasts are four kings who began four...

    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    Jay, you are using 1948 as the base year for the parable of the fig tree. Then, based on a spring season being 96 days long - and then your opting to change to those 96 days to being 96 years.... you came up with.... 1948 + 96 years = 2044. Jay, the parable of the fig tree is not based on...

    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    Jay, the little horn was given a host. Not that the little horn himself is a host. Daniel 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. One of the Merriam Webster dictionary...

    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    Jay, Matthew 24:32 is not a stand alone verse. Matthew 24:32-34, those three verses together make up the parable of the fig tree. No, it is not. Psalms 90:10 defines how long a generation is. You have yet to explain how you arrived at 2044 AD as being a special year.

    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    The little horn represents a person because Daniel 8:11 refers to "he" magnified "himself", and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away. Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast...

    Matthew 24: 32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. kjv The REB bible adds "their" to the text, to say "Over them their second death...

    Book of Daniel - Relevant time periods

    Where does it say the little horn person is a heavenly host ? "host" as used in the text is a group of persons, not one person. In Daniel 8:12, it says a host was given him against the daily sacrifice. The host just means an army that the little horn person will have command of. Daniel...

    Jay, the 2300 days in Daniel 8:14 are associated with the activities of the little horn person. The little horn person does not live for 2300 years.
