    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    . No matter how many verses you take out of context and misapply as to the end times: a coronal mass ejection cannot burn a third of the earth. To think it can is not logical, informed, or intelligent.

    Dan. 9:27

    You have a date for when 1. Jesus began His ministry, 2. When He was crucified, and 3. when Cornelious converted which I can verify from the Bible there flaming? No, I didn't think so.

    Dan. 9:27

    There will be war unto the end. We still have war today. But we haven't seen a seven year covenant. Nor have we seen the abominations. God's desolations as revealed later have not come either. Full Preterism is the weakest of all eschatologies.

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Ridiculous. You point to a verse which says that it happens on the day The Lord binds up and heals and then you believe, without any proof and quite contrary to and opposite of the catastrophes which do entail on the Day of The Lord from prophecy (because they say they happen on the Day of...

    The Seven Seals

    1. He wept "because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it." 2. The Seals themselves contain actions which make ready the Earth for God's Judgment. The sixth Seal contains the Day of the Lord's parousia, and our subsequent resurrection and rapture. This is the last...

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Isaiah 30:26 is not a Day of The Lord verse. It occurs "on the day the LORD binds up the fracture of His people and heals the bruise He has inflicted." A coronal mass ejection does not make the sun appear to be brighter, nor does it make moonlight appear as daylight. A coronal mass ejection...

    The Seven Seals

    The Book of Life? Hardly. What happens when the Scroll (not a codex) is opened? God's Wrath proceeds with the Trumpet Judgments. What did Gabriel tell Daniel at the end of 9:26? "desolations are determined" I put it to you that the Scroll contains those desolations that have been...

    Dan. 9:27

    Oh for crying out loud. "midst" - which is not how the NASB translate it (perhaps the best word-for-word version out there) - comes from chatsi, H2677. chatsi is translated as "middle" in the NASB at Daniel 9:27. chatsi means "half" according to the NASB Exhaustive Concordance. It is...

    Dan. 9:27

    Jesus revealed the details to John about something He remarked upon in the Olivet Discourse (sourcing back to Daniel about the abominations/desolation) that the abomination was a talking image. Plus, He further revealed the actions or events in those two halves of the one 'seven.' Furthermore...

    Dan. 9:27

    You're kidding right? The sidebar account of the Temple and the Two Witnesses in Rev 11:1-13 Rev 11:2 Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty- two months. (First half -...

    Dan. 9:27

    Concerning Joshua 10:13, modern interpreters often cite the historical context of hyperbole where a figurative meaning rather than a literal one necessitates a fantastic miracle of kinetic physics to take place. Literally, if you stop the earth from rotating - instantaneously - everything on...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Again Retro, a correction: it's not that I'm not thinking, it's that I don't think in the very limited, queer way that you do which sees only one way against all others and differently than even the experts. Wing means wing. However, there is a multitude of nuance and meaning past the simple...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    kanaph does NOT mean wing spread out. It means wing - period. siqqusim does not mean OF abominations; it means abominations. mesomem does not mean "from he shall make it" desolate - it means desolation by taking the root somen (adjective: desolate) and adding a prefix me which makes it a noun...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    No, Retro, it's the matter that I have looked at your declarations which are the foundation of your conclusions and I reject the very basis for your eschatology. I note that you are entirely on your own regarding your take on the language. It's not so much a matter of hearing what is said...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    We don't need to talk anymore. The dividing lines have been drawn. You seek to prevail over real scholars by bombast and verbal beating. I'm sorry, you're not that strong. Your take on things is not directly from Scripture. It starts with Scripture with gabar (I really don't care about your...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Retro: I live across the street from some Greeks. The Greeks are all Greek around here. They marry Greek. The eat Greek. They run Greek restaurants. They name their kids Greek. They only speak Greek among themselves. They constantly have Greek family over. They have Greek parties. They...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    Those points are not "prevailed" in Scripture. To highlight 'confirm' in such a way and have the reader refer it to gabar is a misuse of the word itself. You have the definition for gabar stated correctly in blue, but then you take it far beyond the meaning of gabar as a verb such that you...

    The Abomination of Desolation

    If you want to maintain that the first Jewish Revolt, which was over in A.D. 70 fulfilled the one 'seven,' then you're going to have to enumerate all the Trumpet/Bowl desolations which are poured out on the desolator. Now if you want to say the Jews at Masada, which isn't directly linked to the...

    The Abomination of Desolation

    Well if you want facts, then the first Jewish Revolt was from the fall of AD 66 to August 29th of AD 70, which was when Jerusalem fell. Some time after that, the Temple was torn down and indeed, except for the supporting West Wall was completely obliterated. This demonstrates the zeal in which...

    Daniel 9:24-27

    If you don't try to learn what the original language meant, with its nuances, culture, and idioms, you are not a serious student of the Bible. Daniel uses many names for the anti-Christ, and anti-Christ isn't one of them. In this passage he is the prince who is to come: "and the people of the...
