    Babylon

    For what it is worth.... Jesus was crucified outside the city gates of Jerusalem. The Gospels indicate that He was crucified at a place called Golgotha, which means "Place of the Skull" (Matthew 27:33, Mark 15:22, Luke 23:33, John 19:17). The location was outside the city walls, in accordance...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    For what it is worth.... Daniel 9:24 24Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and...

    Babylon

    For what it is worth... here is a cut / paste from the commetary from chapter 7. This ties to the reference in chapter 2:44, "In the days of these kings." I do understand how this comes across from today's accepted interpretations, and it is even more cryptic when such a very different...

    MYSTERY, BABYLON... IS NOT THE CHURCH OF ROME

    for what it is worth... here is a carve out from my commentary on the book of Daniel. This is just a small writing that speaks of the papacy as the little horn in both Daniel and Revelation. Daniel 7:11-12 11I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    verse 2:45 is the end time destruction --- this is when all of the individual components / elements - including the clay (representing those that rejected Jesus... would be destroyed. But 2:34 represents His first coming only. He came to separate the pottery clay from the ceramic clay out from...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    the Stone in 2:34 represents the Messiah at His first coming and He did not come to destroy but to divide. Thus, He struck the feet only (not the toes) and broke into pieces the iron and clay elements only. This was symbolically to separate the Jews (clay) from the iron (Roman Empire) and allow...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    Well, I respect your position.... I would also strongly suggest you do away with the book of Macabbees and focus on Daniel. Daniel is all about the restoration of His people back from Babylon and the greater prophecy of His first coming. Best wishes.

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    Part 2. As a result of his research, Pastor Walker identified a total of 560 literal years between the dedication of Solomon’s Temple and Artaxerxes’ decree in 457 BC. This period was composed of two distinct time elements: 1. Ten Jubilee cycles of 49 years each (490 years) – Representing the...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    For what it is worth.... Part 1 - from my commetary. 25a-Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem In Daniel 9:25a, Gabriel provides a clear starting point for the prophetic countdown leading to the arrival of the Messiah. This...

    Marty, for what it is worth.... Daniel 9:24 24Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and...

    Revelation chapter 20 - Gog and Magog

    Let me ask you folks a question. Was this “blindness” purposeful and deliberate and this was ordained by God? That the Jews had no choice in this matter?

    The Beast of Revelation is a Political and Religious Entity.

    Interpretation Daniel 7:23 23Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. After the fall of Pagan Rome—the first phase of the fourth beast (Daniel...

    Ribera’s Commentary That Changed Bible Prophecy—Now in English!

    Verse 8 of Daniel 7 sparks significant debate among commentators, particularly regarding the interpretation of the ten horns and the emergence of the "little horn." Many view the ten horns as representing ten future kingdoms associated with the Roman Empire, with the "little horn" symbolizing...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    Part 3 Thus, the phrase in verse 35 refers to the end-time harvest and does not occur at the same time as the stone striking the feet in verse 34. The event in verse 34 represents the cross and defines whether the verses and their interpretations apply to the three previous kingdoms or the...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    Part 2 The iron of the feet represents Rome, but within Rome existed the clay—God’s people, living under Roman rule. At the time of Christ’s coming, His presence caused a deep and lasting division among them. Those who accepted Him as the Messiah became pottery clay, soft and moldable in God’s...

    Part 1 The Dream Sequence Daniel 2:31–36 31Thou, O king, saw, and behold a great image. This great, whose B was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. 32This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 33His...

    Daniel 7:24 24The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings. Daniel 7:24a marks an important shift in the understanding of the ten horns. Up until this point, Daniel has...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    This is what is definitely"today's accepted interpretations," but it is incorrect. The Stone is Jesus at His first coming while the 2:35 is His return. The Stone is what separates the Jewish people from"pottery clay" vs. "ceramic clay." This is the action or symbolic event that is discussed in...
