    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    Well in response, that first, as to the eradication of the first three Kingdoms of Nebuchadnezzar's statue: it is an historical fact. Secondly, it is also a Biblical "fact" as I like to say, that the first three beasts survive the destruction of the fourth! Now as the underlying theme I was...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    You did not "discuss" what I presented. You took one quip from me and took it to warn others that life doesn't go on forever... Oh really? Did anyone think it did? At 74, do you? You asked one silly question, which is easily answered from Daniel, whose book lays out the nations so well. You...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    Silly rabbi keras, Trix are for kids... What unites the "North" is its common enemy: the "South". Dan 11:40 "At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    As an epilogue, this model is developed gradually though the book as a visual aid. At this point, no examination of the one 'seven' has been made; it simply ends with Jesus' Second Advent. A full model has been presented before in this thread, and I might add threads to show the development...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    The fourth beast of Daniel chapter seven describes a unique nation that will not be found until the end of the Roman model. Being last it cannot correspond one-for-one with 2200 years of the history from the over arching timeline given previously in this chapter. This last nation has to come...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    This second aspect of timing has an important indicator in Daniel 7 which points away from the one-for-one historical perspective formed centuries ago which is still found in most commentaries. In Daniel’s vision is an explanation offered by one standing there in the Heavenly Court of God: Dan...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    Because there is a distinct and unbroken sequence fashion to the parts of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue, the beasts do not follow that same pattern. Changing the first model contrasting the beasts to the statue begins a process to present the beasts in a different light. While this new view makes a...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    Lest the reader think one has to throw out all comparisons between the statue and the beasts, there may be likenesses between these kingdoms of antiquity and the future nations that go into the end times as hypothesized. The ancient kingdoms may have corresponding characteristics in the end...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    The Four Beasts The history of how Daniel chapter 7 has been interpreted as being analogous on a 1:1 basis to Daniel chapter 2 is important in understanding how an error from the past can propagate to today. Scholars have long poured over Daniel’s vision of the beasts in chapter seven and...

    2016 will be a Rapture Year.

    I thank-you for your constructive criticism. There are three points upon which I disagree with the clear majority of the commentaries out there which have repeated over and over again from time long past that Daniel 7 is the same as Daniel 2. 1. Daniel 2 shows a distinct succession of...

    Keras

    When you set yourself up as the purveyor of truth and God's messenger and you are told you do not convey the truth, nor are you in that capacity when you malign God's Word - what you take as personal is not "abuse". When your posts are shot through and through with inaccuracies in reading...

    2016 will be a Rapture Year.

    ATP has put forth a good amount of information with which I have minor disagreements. I have assembled an outline of the sequence of events I have culled from the major linear narratives, having been inspired by Marvin Rosenthal's book. The point I have is two-fold: 1. Each of us is only one...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    You don't present the truth through your words when you malign Scripture. You even cite Scripture saying it says something, and often when checked - it doesn't mean anything close to what you allege. It's a rather serious condition to think you know the truth when you opine about God's Word...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Standing in opposition to your opinions and ideas is not standing in opposition to Jesus. You claim to possess the truth, but that is just a measure of your delusion. Jesus said we are gathered up. Jesus said He would come back for us, and take us to where He is now: Heaven. Jesus showed John...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    You call what little you do exegesis? Let's compare your "work" to any good commentary and see the difference. Proper exegesis is hard word requiring time and research, not making spot equations of this means this and that means that without any reference at all. Throwing up verses for Israel...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    Demanding a single verse that shows people who never taste death, are changed (or exchange mortal for immortal), are gathered up, and arrive (in the barn of Heaven) before God the Father on His Throne in His Temple in Heaven - is a false test. Only the simpleton demands God spell everything out...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    rabbi keras has some lengthy experience in twisting verses around to make them say what he wants them to, so pay attention to his warning here - he knows how to do it right. Isaiah 30:26 The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    John 14:1 " Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Stating opinion as fact and man-made calculations as truth is hardly being cautious. The fact is that none of us knows when we will "meet" the Lord with our death, so each day ought to remind us it might be our last, but how soon we forget! As far as the Returning Anew of Christ Jesus, it will...
