    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    While I agree the Romans did physically destroy the city and temple through the providence of God. That was accomplished that God would bring a final judgment against the nation. But the judgment of God came against them because they; apostate Jews, had already become a desolation spiritually...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    You're asking the right questions. Remember David this is all future to the time of Daniel. The verse does not tell us when the people of the prince shall destroy the city and sanctuary. It says only that they shall. But when and how shall they destroy them? This is when I believe we get...

    Topical Encyclopedia The Restoration after Exile refers to the period in Jewish history when the Israelites returned to their homeland following the Babylonian captivity. This significant event is chronicled in several books of the Old Testament, including Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah, and...

    Yes, the part of John the Baptist in restoring all things was in turning the hearts of the people by telling them to repent for the long-awaited Messiah has come. By preaching the Lord has come, the people confessing their sins, were baptized by John. That prepared them to receive the better...

    What do you find erratic about these things being capitalized? They are all things and people set apart/sanctified by God. Sanctified - a primitive root; to be (causatively, make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally):—appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, (be...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Of course, I agree with John the Baptist coming before Christ in the spirit and power of Elijah. Not to restore all things but to prepare the way for Christ by preaching repentance from sin for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 3:1-3 (KJV) In those days came John the Baptist...

    Here is all of Dan 9, please point out where this erratic capitalization occurs. Da 9:1 ¶ In the first yeere of Darius the sonne of Ahasuerus, of the seede of the Medes, which was made King ouer the realme of the Caldeans, Da 9:2 In the first yeere of his reigne, I Daniel vnderstood by bookes...

    By whose opinion is the capitalization in 1611 erratic?

    The timeline points not only to re-building, but also to the advent of Christ coming to earth in mortal, human flesh. The pivotal moment for the rebuilding of the Temple is the decree issued by Cyrus, King of Persia. This decree is recorded in Ezra 1:1-4:

    I would only add seventy weeks of years = 490 yrs. not days as some believe.

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    What coming of Christ after He ascended? Mt 24:30 refers to Christ coming again at the end of this age. Daniel is referring to Christ' first coming. Everything in Daniel comes before the end of this age, "even unto the consummation."

    They did in the 1611 KJV. You must be referring to a more modern version where the translators do write "prince that shall come". Makes me wonder how much bias was used in interpreting? Daniel 9:25 (KJV16) Know therefore and vnderstand, that from the going foorth of the commandement to...

    It would be helpful if you gave the sources from AI. Because both Covenantee and I have copies of the 1611 KJV that prove otherwise. Looking at the 1611 KJV proves the translators did capitalize Prince of vs 26, as well as Messiah the Prince vs 25. Daniel 9:25 (KJV16) Know therefore and...

    I found confirmation, or so I think may be confirmation in this verse in Dan 10. I noticed the 1611 translators did not capitalize "prince' of the Kingdom of Persia. Yet Michael one of the chief "Princes" is? Does this suggest the tranlators viewed Michael as belonging to the triune Godhead...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    This 1611 translation suggests the translators believed Prince is referring to Messiah who was cut off. Even though "hee" is not caps, it seems obvious that "hee" in vs 27 is still speaking of Messiah who is the Prince, because there is not another Messiah or Prince introduced. Daniel 9:26...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    It's not the Scriptures themselves, only how you seem to make the coming of Christ only about the New Testament Church while leaving out how Christ came first to the physical Jewish people. While coming with the Kingdom of God from heaven that all man (Jew & Gentile of faith) might enter therein...

    There is only one thing I differ with you about here. I believe the prophet Daniel in chapter 9 is speaking prophetically about what shall become of the Jewish people when Messiah the Prince, would come to spiritually usher in the Kingdom of God as He sends His disciples who shall be from every...

    Each will see it either FROM the Bible itself, or by reading it INTO the Bible from extrabiblical sources as the Preterit does.

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    David, you're forgetting that everything Daniel is saying is future from him. The prince that shall come is the same Messiah the Prince the man Gabriel said would be coming after 490 years have passed. He is the anointed most Holy Messiah the Prince! All that comes to pass from the moment of...
