Hi Brakelite, Your words: "Common labor however (like doing the laundry, mowing lawns, digging the garden , buying and selling etc) ought to be left for the other 6 days." Either we are free from all restrictions or we're free from none. You can't have it both ways. Either we are called to...

Hi Brakelite, I read the article you suggested and I'll take back the part about the "principle" being of SDA origin but the article does provide proof that the "principle" has been used by various religious orgs. to further their prophetic agenda, including the SDA's and those with a...

Hi Flaming, The passage reads as follows: Daniel 9:27 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the...

Hi Brakelite, There's no such thing as a year for a day principle. That's just something the SDA's created to make their take on prophecy seem more logical, at least for them anyway.

Hi Rocky, I won't argue that deeper meanings can be found in the simplest of scriptures but that doesn't take away from the fact that the same passage can be read and understood literally, as well. Is some symbolism and metaphors used in Revelation? To a certain degree, of course, but I don't...

Hi Retro, When dealing with prophecy, "common sense" doesn't apply. I believe we must be flexible and consider all possibilities then select that ones we think sound true when aligned with all the other prophecies. It makes sense to me and your view should make sense to you. I see you always...

Hi Flaming, Your words: "The 70 weeks were continuous there is not one single scripture that says they are not, there is no proof anywhere that the 70 weeks were not continuous." Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it as I am to mine. I do find it interesting though that the...

Hi Rocky, Newton's quote: "Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast." –Isaac Newton Except that's not what the bible says. Matt. 24:32-35 - "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get...

Hi Retro, One of the definitions of the word in question is a "quarter of a building", so using the phrase describing an image set up as on a "wing" of the temple would not be out of line in this circumstance. Like I said in another post, "majority rules" don't apply in these situations.

Hi Retro, Sorry if you felt ignored, but what you wrote was too silly to be taken seriously.

Hi Flaming, Spiritualizing everything is an improper way to deal with prophecy. The prophecy wasn't for the church and while some aspects such as reconciliation for sin were accomplished, the complete list was not, as it is specifically for Israel and Jerusalem. Hi Retro, Defining what a word...

Hi Rocky, Your Q - "If this is not the book of Life why was the Christ the only one allowed to open, loose the seals, or to look inside of it???" Rev. 5:3: "And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon." The answer: Rev. 5:9...

Hi rjp, I have read the second book, The Harbinger, but not the first one you mentioned. As such, I generally agree with your conclusions and the next seven year period begins in 2015, according to The Harbinger.

Hi Rocky, I really don't see how you would consider the "sealed" scroll the book of Life. If it was "sealed" how would our names get added to it? When you read in Rev. 6 what occurs when each seal is opened, again, how would one even consider that as a possibility? If that was something you were...

Hi Marcus, Let's assume for the moment that you are correct. At what point prior to the completion of the 70th week do you see ALL the following being fulfilled? "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to [a] finish the transgression [b ] and to make an end of...

Hi Marcus, Your words: "It is foolish not to equate the Daniel 9:27 to Rev 13:14-15 for the abomination." I do equate them. Your words: "In addition, that means the presentation of each half - first split up by Gabriel when he told Daniel of the one 'seven' - also are speaking of the same...

Hi Marcus, Of course I'm aware of the division of prophetic time. Your words: "There are five times a half of the one 'seven' is mentioned in three chapters in Revelation." Do those numbers equal a half of the 70th week? Yes Does scripture emphasize they are a half of the 70th week? No...

Hi Flaming, If you read the Dan. 9:24-27 post then you will find where I don't believe that interpretation is the correct one as it lacks the 100% fulfillment criteria. Hi Marcus, Regarding Josh. 10:13, I believe it was literal but that's not the point. The point was the definition of "midst"...

Let's try and narrow our focus a little bit. Dan. 9:27 – “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the...

Hi Brakelite, Your words: "Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. If it is as you say, the Sabbath is made holy by our observance, then we become its lord. You are advocating we replace the Lordship of Christ by our own authority...something the Antichrist already did when he replaced the Sabbath...
