Grammar matters because it gives structure to a sentence and helps limit the range of possible meanings. Interpretation involves more judgment, so grammar should be considered first. However, when studying the Bible, we must remember that the Old Testament was not written in English. It was...

It is true that the parable speaks of one crop and does not directly say, “first thirtyfold, then sixtyfold, and finally one hundredfold.” However, that does not mean time has no place in the picture. In fact, the nature of seed and fruit strongly suggests that the parable is not limited to one...

Here is a copy of parts of a few different narratives within the Daniel commentary for chapter 9:24-27: I agree that the Messiah was indeed"cut off in the midst of the week" (Daniel 9:26–27). That "week" was the final seven years of the seventy-weeks prophecy. Although Jesus was cut off halfway...

A few days ago I read this post from Scott and decided to spend some time thinking about why God would present three different "yields" in the three Synoptic Gospels. The more I have considered it, the more convinced I have become that there is much more beneath the surface than we often...

Part 2 of 2 Luke: Jerusalem Surrounded—Desolation Made Visible Luke takes yet another path. He does not cite Daniel by name, nor does he use sanctuary language (“holy place”) or symbolic language (“where it ought not”). Instead, he provides the visible historical sign: “When you see Jerusalem...

Here is a copy of one the many narratives within the Daniel commentary - Chapter 9:27. Part 1 of 2 1. the "abomination that causes desolation Among the many interpretations offered, most focus on the physical destruction of the Temple—whether in 70 AD by the Romans, during the desecration...

Great ... best wishes.

Well, thanks again for all your information and discussion ...

Well, thanks for all the information ...

If I have confused you please let me know... Daniel is THE MOST DIFFICULT BOOK IN THE SCRIPTURES TO UNDERSTAND.... it is easily 100 times more difficult than Revelation.

Yes. Who is this prince and why? skip for now... Who confirms the covenant and why? You show the words "with many for one week." Have you studied this phrase as it is written in Hebrew or are you accepting that this "covenant" is "FOR" A WEEK? What do you think the term "one week" means and...

I am not entirely sure what you mean by “seeing things differently,” but let me approach the issue this way. In Daniel 9, English translations use the word “prince” four times. A reader may naturally assume that all four occurrences represent the same Hebrew word and carry the same meaning...

There is no other verse in the OT where the individual term “shabu” can be found. However, in verse 24 Gabriel deliberately writes: שָׁבֻעִים שִׁבְעִים shābuʿim shivʿim “seventy sevens/weeks”

Sorry for not getting my point across. Here is how I might ask you to look at those verses in Daniel - they are specifically referring to Jesus during His first coming. If we were to read Daniel 9:24-27 in the Hebrew language, we would find that Daniel will use the Hebrew word "nagiyd" only...

Ok, how have you applied this to chapter 9?

I am pretty sure it is weeks of years or 70 weeks of 7 or 490 literal years.

Now put those two words together and apply them to the prophecies in Daniel 9.

Daniel chapter 9 is written in Hebrew not Greek.

I believe I am not able to put you on the same level as the Holy Spirit, Jesus or the Apostles....

David everything you said is absolutely true but would you mind trying to see that what you are saying AND the AOD are NOT mutually exclusive? And this is what I recently asked the other "David" in this thread to address: 1) What does the term "abomination" mean"? 2) The second question must...
