How do you know this fulfills Daniel 9?

Hieron, the word for temple found in Matthew 24, refers to the temple building. Its use is not for a spiritual temple. Thayers. ἱερόν is employed in the N. T. either explicitly of the whole temple, Matthew 12:6; Matthew 24:1; Mark 13:3; Luke 21:5; Luke 22:52; Acts 4:1; Acts 24:6; Acts 25:8; 1...

I like to think of it this way - In general, we know that it takes around 9 months for a baby to grow in the womb and then be born. While we don’t know the exact day nor hour of the birth until it happens, we do know the general time frame, and we can know when the birth is near (birth pangs)...

I agree. We know Christ is talking about his body because the John tells us. So @Truth7t7 where does Matthew tell us in chapter 24 that he is talking about his body?

In John 2, how do you know that Jesus is talking about his body and not the physical temple?

You literally said that in a previous post. You said “the old covenant woman representation cannot brought into new covenant times.” If that’s not what you meant, then just say so. That’s not what you originally said, and that’s completely different than saying ‘the old covenantal woman...

In the masoretic text, neither grammar nor context specifically indicate that the prince of 26b is a different entity from the prince of 25. - “the people of the prince to come will destroy the city and sanctuary. “ Now, if you look to the Greek text of the theodotion LXX, the grammar does make...

You said earlier that the old covenant woman REPRESENTATION cannot be brought into new covenant times. That statement contradicts Paul in Galatians 4. No one’s arguing this. I think your ChatGPT generated response is confused. Agreed, I already said this. He is using the real, physical city...

This would speculative interpretation though, since the NT never actually states the 42 month reign of the beast fulfills Daniel?

From an internal grammatical/contextual standpoint, how do you know this?

I’m not addressing Paul’s main point about the heavenly Jerusalem. I’m addressing the contradiction you’ve made about your own position from post 132. Your two statements are contradictory. On the one hand, you argue that the earthly Jerusalem represents the covenant community “STILL”...

Agreed Agreed “Some terrible event in the Jewish war, by which the temple was desecrated”. Thayers lexicon: the expression τό βδέλυγμα τῆςἐρημώσεως the desolating abomination(others take the genitive, others; e. g. Meyer as a genitive epexegetical) in Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14 (1 Macc...

Does scripture clearly and explicitly define the AoD? I would argue it doesn’t, hence the many disputes and different interpretations.

He says the women are an allegory for the covenants. He does NOT say the city is an allegory. Hagar represents mount Sinai, and it corresponds to “the present Jerusalem” - (the Jerusalem of Paul’s day 48ad). Paul is using metonymy, a common literary trope. “The present” Jerusalem, in this...

That didn’t answer his question at all. His question was about Hagar and its corresponding Jerusalem. Galatians is believed to have been written between 48-55ad. So if Galatians written in 48ad, what is the “present day (48ad) Jerusalem, that’s in slavery, that corresponds to Hagar and mount...

@grafted branch didn’t say the new covenant was established in 48ad. Your response is clearly a misunderstanding

Exactly, Paul uses the story of Sarah and Hagar as a a simile for his day. Sarah and Hagar CO-EXISTED, one birthing the child according to the promise, the other according to the flesh. In the simile these women represent the covenants of God. Hagar represents the old covenant, its children in...

Where in Matthew 24 does Christ re-contextualize the disciples question about the physical to actually mean a spiritual temple?

Your response doesn’t actually address my original argument. My point was that in Matthew 24 Jesus is answering the disciples’ question about the destruction of the physical temple, and nowhere in the discourse does He explicitly re-contextualize the temple to mean His body or a spiritual...

Shouldn’t we begin by examining the New Testament passages that explicitly reference Daniel? In Matthew 24:1–2, Jesus foretells the destruction of the physical temple. In response, the disciples ask, in part, “When will these things be?” (Matthew 24:3). Jesus then begins answering their...
