Apocalyptic literature by its name rejects all prophecies that are hard to relate to or are unfulfilled. It puts it in the category of fiction at worst or gross over exaggeration at best. It's a name given by people who don't possess the HS for understanding thus as scriptures says, "it sounds...

Apparently, a whole bunch of people. When I first heard that folks believed that I was a little shocked especially when compared to real Messianic prophecies like Is. 53. and the multiple explicit ones that Christ really did fulfill. If one was to just read it w/o any preconceived notions it...

In your verses, the use of the word "anointed" means to "consecrate to a religious position". To 'anoint" in Dan. 9:24, means to "rub with oil". Both words can mean both defs, but it's the context that decides.

A few problems with this, Dan. 9:24 wasn't for Christ to fulfill, as the passage is "not" a Messianic prophecy, it specifically says it was for Jerusalem and Israel to fulfill. When the prophecy about Messiah coming was fulfilled, it wasn't as the beginning of the 70th week, it was the end of...

Also, some want to apply a whole lot of things to "God's" word, the was never intended. Made up genre's like apocalyptic literature. Regarding prophecy audience relevance is irrelevant because the vast majority of prophecies were "never" for the times the prophet rec'd them. The HS should take...

Just the reality of what the bible actually teaches and not what folks want it to teach so they can maintain their false theology. Let's try a different look. Dec. 31, 11:59;59sec. pm, is 2025, Jan. 1, 12:00:01 one second after midnight is 2026, a child is born, they were born 'after" 2025...

No, it's not and learning how to tell the difference is crucial to understanding prophecy. It's these "little things" that help define an accurate rendering of prophecy.

Sorry, but concerning scripture and prophecy 'word games" are vital to get a true understanding. The bible calls it "rightly dividing the 'word" of truth."

In the linear reading of Dan. 9:26, the def. of the word 'after" is quite plain. 26a, the crucifixion, end of the 69th week, Christ died just before sunset, and that sunset was the 1st day of the 70th week, thus the word 'after" is correct in this context. The "people of the prince that shall...

Again I'm not post trib, but if you want to take on a couple of topics at a time, I'm game.

I actually think he will arrive similar to Obama. He had barely said or done anything, he was just a community organizer running for president, yet well before he was elected he had an 80% global approval rating!!! Why???

Some things are just plain basic like 1,2,3 or a,b,c. It seems one has a looong way to go.

The bible say "I am the "vine" you are the branches". That is a completely different metaphor because it ends up being about the fruit of the vine.

The day of the Lord is a multi-themed event that lasts for over a 1000 yrs. and it has both cursings and blessings associated w/ it.

God can divide them anyway he wants, 7 weeks, 62 weeks, one week. No gap=no church. In the linear reading of Dan. 9:25-27, the gap is right there in plain sight. The 70 weeks were for Israel to fulfill the goals of Dan. 9:24. Christ died on the last day of the 69th week. God's plans don't fail...

That's exactly what I was saying.

I agree sometimes they do refer to kings but not all the time. In this specific case, we know the branches are the faithful Jewish and Gentile believers, not Christ.

That is what historicism believes. To them the only thing left to fulfill is Christ's return and that is completely false.

Where do trees get their nutrients from? What strengthens them by giving them a stable base to grow? Psalm 52:8 states, "But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever." The olive tree here represents the enduring nature of...

No one is saying it didn't happen but 70ad was the beginning of most end times prophecies not the end.
