    I believe we should simply move on. Best wishes.

    I think you have misunderstood the verse and have twisted things. That is alright because Daniel is such a difficult book to interpret. Many believe it also must follow our English grammatical rules- but it was not written that way nor does it / or must it be interpreted that way. It all must...

    Maybe you might want to study the wording of the verse- who destroyed the city verses who is the prince that COMES AFTER that individual who destroyed the city. Good luck.

    Thanks for your response. For what it is worth, here is a cut / paste found within the Daniel 8:12 narrative in the commentary on Daniel: The “Host” (army) Given to the Little Horn In Daniel 8:12, the term often translated “army” does not need to be confined to a military force in the...

    Is is possible that the term "army" used here does not mean a military army?

    Thanks for your thoughts. Please read or re-read the earlier posts -#'s 122, 123 and 134. Just for nothing tell me your understanding of what 12:11 is talking about and how you intepret the 1290 days....

    You are absolutely correct! But I think you might take a second look at the verses I was speaking to - not chapter 9 but chapters 7 and 8.

    The “prince” (small p) who is to come out AFTER the destruction of the city in 70 AD is the one identified in 7:24 and 25, as well as the one identified in 8:23-25. He is the little horn that has been revealed / discussed at length in Daniel 7,8 and 11. Here in chapter 9 he is again identified...

    The “prince” (small p) who is to come (after the cross) represents the same actor in Daniel 7

    Yes, the PEOPLE of the prince who is to come destroyed the city. It was Titus, the head of the Roman army who desegregated city in 70 AD. The “prince WHO IS TO COME “ of those people (Roman’s while identified within pagan Roman rule) is the little horn that comes out of early church that was...

    Part 2 of the Reflective Narrative: Desolation of a Relationship: The Long “Times of the Gentiles” If we think only in terms of destroyed buildings, we will look no further than A.D. 70 and the fall of the second Temple. But Desolation in Daniel is deeper than stones; it reaches into the...

    Part 1 of a narrative that comes just after the narratives recently given re: the AOD (parts 1 and 2) found in the New Interpretations commentary on Daniel (if you want a free copy, please PM me or if you have an interest to purchase it directly from Amazon, PM me and I will give the the ISBN #...

    It is the “people” of the prince who is to come that destroys the Temple in 70 AD. That would be the Romans headed by Titus. But it is “they” (pagan Rome) who were the people of this later coming prince- he is the little horn of Daniel 7,8 and 11. This is the main antagonist that will go against...

    It was Christ’s fulfilling the 6 elements in verse 24 and His perfect sacrifice on the cross that eliminated any further need for animal sacrifices and offerings. The Temple, the Gigh Priest, the Passover lambs, etc., were all types and shadows of the coming Messiah It doesn’t matter if the...

    Part 2. Matthew: Standing in the Holy Place In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus is presented as the Messianic King and covenant High Priest, fulfilling the Law and the Prophets and establishing the long-anticipated kingdom of heaven. Matthew writes primarily to a Jewish audience and meticulously links...

    Part 1. 1. the "abomination that causes desolation Among the many interpretations offered, most focus on the physical destruction of the Temple—whether in 70 AD by the Romans, during the desecration by Antiochus Epiphanes two centuries earlier, or in a theorized future third Temple expected...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    For two thousand years Christians have tried to speak faithfully about the one God who has made Himself known as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Israel was right to guard against any thought of multiple gods, for there is only one true God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Yet from the very...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    I’m not asking whether John knew the divine name — of course he did. I’m asking whether you accept what John says about the Logos. In John 1:1–3 the Logos already exists “in the beginning,” is “with God,” and “all things were made through him.” Then John 1:14 identifies this Logos as the One who...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Do you reject John 1:1–3,14 and John 17:5 as teaching that Christ existed with the Father before creation?

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Thanks for your response. Are you saying the individual who met with Abraham with the two angels was another angel and not God in the flesh? Are you saying that the individual at the top of Mt. Sinai was not God in the flesh but an angel? Thanks....
