That’s not a good answer to a very serious claim that God created sin. You know that is not true… I hope!

As I mentioned, Daniel is the most difficult book in the Bible to unpack - nothing is simple in Daniel. The only way to prove what you are saying is to understand verses 2:41-44… and not just claim they are end time verses. What do the scholars tell us they mean? We can start with their...

Would you care to unpack verses 41-44 before you declare 34 an end time prophecy? Verse 34 is the cross. Verse 35 and 45 are the end times. Verses 41-44 reflect in very broad terms what happens between the two - specifically, the coming of He church, the corruption of His church … Chapter 7...

I am surprised to hear you say God created sin. Isn’t sin a choice? Thanks

That is one way to interpret it to sure. But 2:34 is the cause that separates the iron and the clay. Prior to Jesus striking the feet (not the entire image), the clay was embedded within the iron. Could not be separated. After a he Stone, He is now showing the 5 individual elements- meaning...

Great question! There are 4 and only 4 metal kingdoms that God would reveal in His plan of restoration and salvation for His people and His city (and of course, since they rejected and crucified Him, He designed His plan to be more than just the restoration of His people and city back to...

Please see #287, thanks.

I am sorry but I have answered those questions a few times in addition to the long narratives I sent you. I would kindly ask you to re-read my responses #’s 258, 265, 287, 303, and 305. Thanks so much.

I have already answered those questions. Please take a short bit of time and re-read some of my responses to you- you should not have a problem seeing them. Best wishes.

I have repeatedly given you a detailed response to the 70 weeks. I have gone into great details at times - and have even read where you do not think it is appropriate to write such long resolve cut paste the narratives that clearly offer my hand interpretations So, I don’t believe we need to...

I believe we have studied Daniel very differently and have different interpretations. Thanks.

To be candid, I do feel that I’ve taken the time to lay out a fairly complete framework. At the same time, it seems there’s a reluctance to consider that prophecy—especially in Daniel and Revelation—often involves more than one layer of meaning or fulfillment. One of the key things I’ve come to...

I believe I made it clear the 70 year prophecy was completely fulfilled by the Messiah despite that He was cut off in the midst of the week. There was no unfinished business- He fulfilled 9:24 and returned to His Father. “It is finished.” I also spoke about the 490 year 4th and final Great...

I think part of the issue here is you maybe treating “symbolic” and “literal” as if they cancel each other out, when Scripture often presents both at the same time. For example, in Daniel 9 we see this very clearly. In verses 24–25, the prophecy includes both spiritual and physical...

David, here is a cut / paste from the Daniel chapter 9 narrative. When one studies the 70 weeks of prophecy and attempts to establish the correct starting date (457BC) from the other 3 available starting dates, it demands that the study must not simply accept one of the 4 dates but confirm it...

But what are those 4 kingdoms?

Thanks for your thoughts Marty! If you do not mind, does chapters 2 and 7 tell us who the 4 kingdoms are? Thanks.

Okay, I am going to ask if you would please tell me why you made this statement. If we are to have a productive back and forth / give and take discussion on these difficult matters in Daniel, I am going to need to understand why you have no idea what I was saying. Please tell me at least what...

I certainly agree with you, but the complete destruction of the Temple and everything else in Jerusalem was the consquence of the Jews rejecting and crucifying their Messiah - that was the abominable act that would CAUSE the desolation with His people for the next 2000 years. The destruction of...

Hope you do not mind, but Epiphanes has absolutely nothing to do within the Book of Daniel. Most scholars contend that he is prominately discussed in chapter 11 but he is not found in chapter 11 or any other chapter. He can not be the little horn because the little horn came out of the 4th...
