    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    Thanks for your thoughts! The book of Daniel is extremely difficult to understand and interpret. And chapter 11 clearly surpasses the other 11 chapters... it is on the 100 floor while the others are near the street level. But it is about the Messiah, His church, the appropriation of His...

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    FYI, why do you think God placed the KOS and KON at both ends of chapter 11? Who do you think are these entities? Do you think the "times of the Gentiles might be relevant to this?

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    For what it is worth.... I would ask that you might consider why the KOS and the KON are mentioned at the beginning of chapter 11 and then at the end of chapter 11. That might tell you something..... and then you can begin to unpack the large middle section of chapter 11....

    Nebuchadnezzar's Statue vs. Heads of the Beast - How Would You Link Them?

    Well, thank you for your thoughts.... but I believe we are not on the same page.... I believe the symbols provided by God in chapter 2,7,8,9, and 11 are speak as one.... they provide for a consistent and clean intepretation from Babylon to the end of time. However, almost all of Daniel takes us...

    Nebuchadnezzar's Statue vs. Heads of the Beast - How Would You Link Them?

    I was and still hoping to receive some responses from many of the folks within this site that have already expressed their thoughts on the book of Daniel and specifically, the 4 kingdoms, and whether these verses are end time verses or not. I would also like to add to the above the following...

    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). Above is the verss you posted in your response.... below is a discussion on this subject with scrupture verses... and earlier in a...

    Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

    Thanks for your response. I don't know anything about your thorough study, but did it include any of the scriptures I provided above? I will also respond tomorrow with some additional thoughts... best wishes.

    Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

    1. Jesus kept the Sabbath during His earthly life. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus consistently observing the Sabbath: Luke 4:16 – “So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.” This shows...

    Nebuchadnezzar's Statue vs. Heads of the Beast - How Would You Link Them?

    Daniel chapter 7 2Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were...

    Nebuchadnezzar's Statue vs. Heads of the Beast - How Would You Link Them?

    If you do not mind, I would like to ask a couple of questions: 1) In Daniel chapter 7, is the 4th beast kingdom pagan Rome - the same kingdom that was identified in chapter 2? 2) And I certainly believe it is. Now, then, who is the 10 horns and the little horn that comes out from this...

    SDAs, USA and the End times.

    I don't think so.... this is not telling us the Sabbath is done away with.... ok you again cut / paste scripture... but why do you think this says what you think it says? Your one line statement does not say anthing... it just says what you want it to say....

    SDAs, USA and the End times.

    How has the Sabbath been fulfilled? Did Jesus come to do away with the Sabbath by fulfilling it? What tells you that? The Sabbath was created as a 7th day, and the ONLY holy day at creation by God. It was not created for Jews but for man. Then, when Moses was given the 10 commandments on Mt...

    SDAs, USA and the End times.

    no, I think you need to be specific and tell us what in those verses you quoted tells us the Sabbath is done away with... and why you think so...

    SDAs, USA and the End times.

    There is nothing here that says the Sabbath is done away with or has been replaced by Jesus…

    SDAs, USA and the End times.

    Sorry, there is nothing that tells us to no longer keep the Sabbath…

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Well, thank you for your response and I try to unpack the scriptures exactly as you do… try to find as many connections that might secure that particular puzzle piece with the others. I am very comfortable with this interpretation- most importantly, it speaks to the most important subject and...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    That is an excellent point... and my response to that would be the following: 1) the prophecy of the 1290 days is just that... the number of days.... between two posts in time, 2) It was within these same days that Jesus indeed went into the wilderness but this was a requirement that He had to...
