It's not a dual requirement. It's a single requirement. I already posted the verses that require it. The first 3 kingdoms did outlast the 4th. The 4th was destroyed. It was destroyed by a foreign army - which it turns out is how God has historically accomplished the overthrow of kingdoms...

If there's no primary fulfillment, that would make Daniel a false prophet. He fails the test of Deuteronomy 18: Deuteronomy 18:20But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that...

More or less. The throne judgment is part of a vision. The interpretation thereof is given to Daniel, but not us, and Daniel's response doesn't seem to that of a man receiving good news... Daniel 7:28 Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and...

The 4th beast was the Seleucid empire. Well, I think so anyway

My faith is in God. The Bible has some issues. God remains God

When the ancient city of Ninevah was excavated, archaeologists found a single period of monotheism. One would think this was after Jonah visited, and the city turned to God. During that period, the people there called God "NBW" rather than "YHVH."

How about history? In about 130AD, the Romans created the city of Aelia Capitolina on the ruins of ancient Jerusalem. Jews were forbidden to enter the city, and that rule continued for over 500 years, under both pagan and Christian Roman rule. It was only lifted in 636AD when Muslims...

The Wailing Wall is a retaining wall. Tradition thinks it was built by Herod the Great as part of his expansion of the temple. By building large walls around the existing hill, the flat area to build on was expanded. This is not well-agreed upon. Many people think that the mountain to the...

I think you're just seeing people copy-pasting answers they got from AI. I know I'm seeing a bunch of that.

There's a few. Chapter 31: 3 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. ... 8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the...

He did. It just isn't in Genesis. It's in Ezekiel.

Why would I? I don't need to understand exactly HOW creation was accomplished, to point out that the dichotomy you set up of Creation vs Evolution is an oversimplification. There are more options than the 2. I just pointed out one which seems to be fairly common. If I'm going to argue FOR...

If the death is spiritual, how do we know the tree isn't spiritual too? And the whole garden, too

I'm not much of a science guy, but I've got common sense. That sentence didn't make much sense to me. If that's so, what's to stop us from making the whole story spiritual? You know, the way Ezekiel treats it. ::ducking::

Haven't heard that one before. What about all the dinosaur bones? Was Rex naughty?

No. You stated it either had to be one or the other. You didn't give any answer at all to the idea that evolution might have been a means of creation. You probably ought to, because I think a lot of people hold that view. Is it though? To my eyes, the idea of ex nihilo creation looks odd...

I believe Deuteronomy to be the original composition of Moses. I'm not sure we can confine ourselves to that book, but if we could, perhaps there might be enough common ground to stand on. No, I don't believe in the Documentary Hypothesis. It's an out-of-date explanation of multiple...

I think that there's some corruption to the text of the Pentateuch with regard to the promotion and appointment of priests. I think that the story of Massah/Meribah is such a passage. There is a political rivalry between 3 factions vying for priestly power: 1) The Aaronite priesthood (Aaron's...

It's interesting to compare the commands of Exo 34 to the Decalogue. I didn't have Exodus in mind at all, though. Deuteronomy is replete with charges to the people to enforce the law on each other, with stonings and banishments. That's a decidedly carnal application of the law. The...

Are the two mutually exclusive? I think you may need to establish that... and I'm not sure you can?
