    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Not sure what you mean... I was saying that the way you respond to people is often filled with arrogance. I simply cannot understand why you feel the need to speak with folks the way you do...sorry.

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    David, here is just one of the many narratives within the commentary in Daniel chapter 9: Reflective Narrative: Loose ends-the last 3.5 years of the seventy-weeks-of-years prophecy Jesus’ public ministry lasted 3½ years—exactly half of the seven-year span of Daniel’s seventieth week (Daniel...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Yes, that is when He was anointed. Remember, the Hebrew word nagiyd translates to "Anointed One" but in the English translations it is written as "Prince."

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Remember, Jesus went to the Jordan river on the first day of the 70th week of the prophecy. This began His ministry when He was baptized by John in the Jordan. Also, at that same time He was baptised, we saw the Holy Spirit come down on Him and then the Father Anointed Him.

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    That is your idea of providing your understanding and interpretation? Let me use a term you recently used - Really? Sorry David, I will no longer be communicating with you.. just too arrogant ...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Certainly could be... but the first two verses are the "restorative" verses in these most powerful prophetic verses in Daniel - perhaps in all of scripture. The entire 70 weeks of years prophecy from 457 BC to 33/34 AD or a literal period of 490 years was to reveal how God would restore His...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    No, the only thing that would give you is the opportunity to declare that my interpretation is wrong and that is not right... I have asked you to offer your understanding, interpretation and support for your definition of the two terms that, when put together (abomination and desolation) present...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    No, and I am sorry if the narrative wasn't clear. God would purposely give us two Hebrew words in the beginning of the chapter to show us the "secular" Hebrew words for "prince" ( sar).There would not be any mistake as to who these folks would be referring to. Consequently, if He were to use...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    The only thing you have provided is a copy of some of the verses in Matthew and that is it! What verses in Daniel speak to the AOD and please offer your understanding of how they give us the definition / identity of the AOD...Don't just copy a verse and say.... walla, there it is! Then, take...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Once again, just because you have a strong opinion does not mean you have a strong understanding of scripture. And in this case, you don't. I have asked you to take the time to study Daniel and perhaps even try to connect those prophetic verses to the gospels... So, specifically, what does...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    I am sorry to say that none of what you mentioned proves (at all) the AOD is not the cross. Why haven't you quoted verses in Daniel, and connect them to verses in the gospels? I asked you to tell me why the AOD is not the cross and to offer your understanding of what the AOD is... please take...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Thanks David... would you be kind enough to elaborate on why the AOD is not the cross and also, your interpretation of the AOD? Thank you.

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Part 2 of 2 3) “Messiah” (title withheld) — Daniel 9:26 Immediately after the restorative verse comes the first destructive line: “after the sixty-two weeks, messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself.” (v.26) Notice what changes. The word “Prince” is not repeated. Gabriel does not say...

    Daniel 9:25 - the messiah the prince

    Please consider the following narrative: Part 1 of 2 Reflective narrative: "From Stones to the Savior: Why God Separated the Arrival and Death of the Messiah" In the “restorative verse” of Daniel 9:25, God traces the timeline to the arrival of the Anointed One with striking precision: seven...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I really don't want to open a difficult and exhausting topic of the little horn, the prophecies in Daniel and in Revelation - impossible to address even a fraction of them here, but I would like to mention that the Book of Daniel is not a history book by any means. If you were to study Daniel...

    Some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty

    Well, as you know, God does not do anything without a perfect reason. So, the very different percentages and the their order must be unpacked and interpreted - there is probably much behind this....

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Do you agree that anyone can be described as an "anti-christ" - because they preach a different gospel? But, do you agree there can only be one little horn - that preaches a different gospel, claims the place of God on earth, claims to forgive sin, claims divinity, changes God's laws and...

    Some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty

    It is interesting that these parables of the sower discuss how the Word of God will be heard / received / and put into practice to produce fruit. 1) If we look at Matthew, he records the percentages in a descending order of 100 %, 60 % and then 30 %, 2) If we look at Mark, he records the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Matthew 27 does not call the raised saints the 144,000. Malachi 3 does not identify those remembered by God as the souls under the altar. Revelation 6 does not say the souls under the altar are all faithful Israelites from the Old Covenant. The white robes are not identified as the seal of...
