Greetings again CTK, The little horns of Daniel 7 and 8 are not the same as each other. The little horn of Daniel 7 is the development of the Papacy while the little horn of Daniel 8 is the development of the Pagan Roman Empire which crucified Jesus and destroyed the Temple in AD 70. The four...

Greetings Marty Fox, That is a fairly popular view of the abomination of Desolation, but in a sense Antiochus Epiphanies was a shadow of what would happen with Rome and the Temple in AD 70. I believe that Jesus is quoting / alluding to Daniel 8: Matthew 24:15-16 (KJV): 15 When ye therefore...

Greetings CTK, My general understanding of the Six Seals is that in line with the Continuous Historic view of the Seals, Trumpets and Vials. The Seals cover the period of the decline and judgements on the Pagan Roman Empire from the time of John in AD 96 to the time of Constantine in AD 312...

Greetings again CTK and Davy, I have already given a different perspective on the clay and thus we have a different view of Daniel 2:41. The clay is a later development than at the time of the 1st Coming. I have also stated that the feet and toes are part of the Fourth Beast, the Roman...

Greetings again Wrangler, I suggest that the language of the NT flows from much of the OT, even from the Garden of Eden. Such a concept without some reasonable understanding could be based upon pagan rituals and practices and as such is a form of idolatry. Again "impossible to comprehend"? I...

Greetings again CTK, Daniel 2:32-35 (KJV): 33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the...

Greetings again CTK, I agree that there are only four Kingdoms, four Beasts, but contrary to your exposition the clay is part of the Fourth Beast and represents the decline in quality and strength of the Fourth Beast. The clay is also destroyed when the Stone strikes the Image upon the feet...

Greetings again Wrangler, A reasonable statement, but getting back to your original statement Humility may require a quiet, honest consideration of what "the blood of Jesus Christ" represents. Is this blood in any way a fulfilment of the Burnt, Trespass, Sin, and Peace Offerings under the Law...

Greetings again shepherdsword, As well as my RV/KJV Interlinear and NASB (Study Bible) I have recently purchased Robert Alter's The Hebrew Bible. I have used this as reference for a couple of passages. This covers the OT only. It has been highly recommended for its accuracy and has thorough...

Greetings again CTK, I am sorry, but I cannot follow or accept your reasoning here. I have a fairly thorough understanding of Daniel 7 and 8 with a thorough assessment of the 1260 days and the 2300 evening/mornings, and I assume Daniel 11 is mostly fulfilled except I have a thorough assessment...

Greetings again CTK, Yes, I will try to understand your perspective. Daniel 2:34–35 (KJV): 34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the...

Greetings again CTK, The fourth beast was initially the Pagan Roman Empire, and this was replaced by the Corrupt Christian Empire under Constantine and the Fourth Kingdom underwent many changes and today is represented by Western Europe and the many different countries. Daniel 2:44 indicates...

Greetings shepherdsword, I use an Interlinear RV/KJV and enjoy some of the alternative renditions given in the RV. I have stronger respect for the OT portion of the RV rather than the NT portion. I also reference the NASB. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings CTK, The fourth beast is the Roman Empire. This is still future. Yes, the fourth kingdom, the legs of iron. Both Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 give an overview of the kingdoms of men from Daniel's time until their overthrow and replacement by the Kingdom of God upon the earth when Jesus...

Greetings Wrangler, Sounds nice and almost absolutely conclusive, but it would be interesting to consider 10 different people as to what this really represents in belief and practice such as the way of life each of these 10 different people actually reveal. Kind regards Trevor

Paul was baptised by Ananias: Acts 9:17–18 (KJV): 17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled...

Greetings newton2005, What Paul is arguing against is the claim by many Judaisers who taught the necessity of the new Gentile believers to be circumcised. I consider that the Letter to the Galatians was written before the Jerusalem Conference where this issue was finally settled. Kind regards...

Greetings TazzJazz, Because I believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is a Kingdom established by God and Jesus when Jesus returns to the earth to sit upon the Temple Throne of David in Jerusalem for the 1000 years. It is "OF" heaven, not "IN" heaven. Matthew 8 teaches that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...

Greetings again PS95, Commendable. Yes, for real as I consider the word "flesh" as not his skin and bones, but the complete person, the fact that Jesus was a human, the Son of God by birth and character. I cannot recall much interaction, but I cannot add any posts to Carm as it gives me an...

Greetings PS95, I appreciate your response and anticipated "deep" insight. I am immediately cautious as you may still have some thoughts influenced by your former JW connections, or maybe you have swung to another extreme as a result of your new convictions. But let us proceed. I can...
