Well, thank you for your thoughts but we are going to have to agree to disagree. The law was certainly not done away with… our sin nature was not done away with, but the animal sacrifices and offerings were done away with as a result of the perfect sacrifice of the Messiah. The “daily” is now...

I believe this is a good time to suspend any further discussion or responses between us. Best wishes.

Thank you for your comments! I do agree with your approach... but I have found the devil does lie in the details. Would you mind telling me your interpretation of verses 2:34 and 2:35? After this, the next difficult verses are 2:41-43.

PART 2 (DUE TO LENGTH LIMITATIONS WITHIN THIS FORUM). f) Verse 26 and 27 are both "destructive" verses and reveal the events AFTER the cross - after everything was restored from the Babylonian destruction. 1) Verse 9:26 a-b, tells us the Messiah will be "cut off" or crucified AFTER 62 weeks...

PART 1 (DUE TO LENGTH LIMITATIONS WITHIN THIS FORUM). Well, there are an awlful lot of interpretations out there on these four verses (9:24-27). And that should be expected since, they, along with many other verses in Daniel are quite cryptic and difficult to unpack. So, here is my thoughts on...

Marty, thanks for your interpretation. I have not read anyone's interpretation where the 70 weeks of years prophecy began with Cyrus. It is obvious you put some thought and effort into this..... Now, I think it is safe to say that MOST people will respond to you with some level of incredulity...

If you do not mind, I think it is important since God is revealing His plan of restoration and salvation for the Jews and ultimately mankind. The second kingdom would conquer Babylon at the time the 70 years exile was coming to an end. I believe He is showing us His plan as the Jewds move...

Ok and thank you for your interpretations! If you do not mind.... I find the first introduction to the 4 kingdoms are in Chapter 2, and the Medes-Persian (combined) kingdom is identified.....Yes, the Persians were the stronger of the two, but when they conquered Babylon, they were already one...

Very nice response. Rather than make inappropriate comments against the person, why don’t you try and explain your position or offer to state why you disagree. I have noticed this is a familiar and unattractive manner you use when someone does not agree with your interpretations. But, you’re...

Completely disagree! You are looking at the world to determine if Jesus fulfilled His God given 6 elements to have been fulfilled. Example: I have heard it said with tremendous conviction that Jesus did not fulfill them because sin still exists. Look at the world, people are still killing each...

Didn't the Medes-Persia kingdom conquer Babylon - the second kingdom? Did Greece conquer the second kingdom? If we look in Chapter 8, Gabriel identifies the second kingdom as a single animal - that of a ram with 2 horns. Those 2 horns represent Darius and Cyrus. The other animal in Chapter 8...

Would you mind discussing your selection of the 4 kingdoms in the Chapter 2 metal man image? Why did you split up the second kingdom of the Medes-Persia into two? Why not Rome for the 4th kingdom? This is indeed the time / kingdom when the Messiah would arrive and the 70 weeks of years...

Sometimes, I will read someone's response and come away having a very difficult time understanding how they arrived at their interpretation. In this case, I had not given any real consideration to the order of the 6 elements in 9:24. I focused on their fulfillment, and I would never have...

I understand. But there is more than one way to look at things .... if the physical event or action of the 6 elements speaks to you, that is fine. However, the way I presented the 6 elements were not based on the physical fulfillment, but highlights the movements from dealing with sin...

As I mentioned before, I was trying to provide him with a reasonable progression of the 6 elements within 9:24, otherwise, he did not seem to want to accept they were even fulfilled... Now, I will also say that the progression of the 6 in the order they are given does work.... but if you have...

Jesus arrived on the first day of the 70th week where He was baptized in the Jordan by John. At that same time, He was also anointed by His Father .... Jesus Himself claimed He was anointed --- Luke 4:16-30.

First, I was not saying that He fulfilled them in the exact order, but I was responding to another poster who seemed to need to understand they were fulfilled in order for him to accetp they were indeed fulfilled (at least that is the way I interpreted it) ... so I was offering a reasonable...

Why do you say in #113 that only Jesus, and not the Jews can complete the 6 elements.... and then you said, He did... Can you explain why you respond to my comment disagreeing that Jesus did not fulfill them and in response to Dougg, you say He did? Please explain...

Are you saying that Jesus did not fulfill these 6 elements mentioned in 9:24? They were listed in the prophecy... if He did not fulfill them, why are they listed that He would ... or, are you suggesting they have yet to be fulfilled --- He will fulfill them at His second coming? Did He fulfill...

Unbelievable!
