Thanks for your thoughts!

Okay, again, we are all entitled to our interpretations… The Lord is great.

Zoa, I know we do not agree on the 4th beast kingdom, but have you ever considered that it was the Messiah as the Passover Lamb of God, the perfect sacrifice was the One who done away with the daily sacerifice and offerings? After the cross, there was no further need for animal sacrifices...

Ok, I got it.... and I agree with you. Unless we both agree that the 4 kingdoms in Chapter 2, whatever they may be, continue throughout the remaining chapters, there is no reason to discuss our interpretations. But that is exactly why I proposed to begin at Chapter 2... no problem at all... thanks.

I understand but there is also a reason why the Jews reject Jesus and expect His first coming in the future. It would take so long to go into Chapter 11... but Chapter 11 is also written for His people and His city.... but I AGREE WITH YOU THAT 99.99% of our interpretations follow your thoughts...

Thanks for the detailed interpretations! If you do not mind, can we do two things? One, go back to Chapter 2 and let me know if you believe that the 4 kingdoms in Chapter 2 remain the same 4 throughout the Book of Daniel. Secondly, can we discuss the 4th kingdom in Chapter 2 only without using...

Daniel is such a very difficult book to interpret. And if you look at "today's accepted interpretations," they all apply a "historical" approach to deteremine their interpretations. Meaning, they confirm, compare and attempt to identify those actors and events that actually took place within our...

I agree. The four verses in 9:24-27 might be thought of as being given as the first two (24-25) represent the "restorative" verses within this prophecy. But in 26-27, Gabriel gives us the "destructive" verses. The "restorative" verses reveals the timing of those elements that will be...

I don't believe I have read this interpretation before.... but I certainly can understand how you arrived at it. I do believe that most interpreters believe that Rome is the 4th kingdom, and ALL (except me of course), claims that the four generals that come after Alexander represent the four...

Thank you for your interpretation. I have seen others that also share your interpretation..... so you are certainly not alone! I, however, am sitting alone but I feel comfortable with a little different interpretation. Please consider the following - it is a relatively short piece cut out from...

Thanks. I have a new interpretation for you to think about. Verse 2:34 is when the Stone (Messiah) arrives - His first coming and so rules the feet of the image and He breaks apart the iron and the clay into pieces. He does not come to destroy but to divide. The symbolism is that the iron, as...

Please tell me why you feel that way… what are your thoughts? Thanks

Hope you do not mind, but I have never heard anyone say that before. Especially, verses 41-43. What is your take on 2:34-35?

With the exception of Chapter 11, Chapter 2 might just be the most difficult chapter to unpack and interpret in the Book of Daniel. So, does anyone have a particular verse or series of verses that just seem to defy understanding.... they would like to throw out to the community?

Please consider the following... Daniel 9:24 outlines six key objectives that the Messiah would accomplish, and the order in which they are listed follows a logical progression. First, the Messiah is said to "finish transgression," which means addressing humanity's rebellion against God. Next...

Okay!

And what? First ----"And what? What are you trying to say? Secondly, so you are trying to say that God should not have given us any of the time elements in His prophecies because that would constitute our attempting to find out when He is coming?

Please consider the following... Daniel 9:24 outlines six key objectives that the Messiah would accomplish, and the order in which they are listed follows a logical progression. First, the Messiah is said to "finish transgression," which means addressing humanity's rebellion against God. Next...
