    The prince that shall come in Daniel 9:26 will be of the people who destroyed the temple and city (of Jerusalem) - i.e. the Romans in 70ad. So the prince who shall come will be associated with the Roman Empire manifested in the end times, i.e. the EU.

    In Daniel 8, 11, and 12, is A4E meant? Or is a future anti-christ meant?

    Charts reflect organized thoughts. That does not mean that any chart is automatically correct by it's structure and content. Also, all of us should make an effort to communicate as clear as possible.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I think what that verse is indicating that when God breathed life into the body of man He had formed from the dust of the earth, the body became a living being. In that verse, a living soul = a living being....we call human beings. The point I was making is that when a human being physically...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    Do you not believe that when a person's body dies, the soul leaves the body ? The soul is the inner man. The body is the outer man.

    Well, the dictionary definition is what I posted. The definition of eternity is - infinite or unending time. Everyone is figuratively speaking on a time train heading toward eternity. Which train depends on whether a person has put his trust in Jesus.

    Yes, as long as we are breathing we are living souls. When a person's body dies, the soul departs the body.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I think that what Peter was saying in 2Peter3:8-9 is that God is not bound by the constraint of time, in His desire that all should turn to Jesus and receive eternal life. The definition of eternity is - infinite or unending time.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    Scott, you need be more specific and clear in your communications, when you post. When you say "All (of God's creation) is eternal", you need to clarify with something like "All persons of God's creation are eternal - in that they will end up spending eternity in a state of having eternal life...

    Yes, the Patriarchs had hope of being redeemed. While Jesus's body lay dead in the tomb, His soul went to the place of the dead and preached to the souls there who had died in the past. I am sure that Jesus preached the gospel message, and set the souls free, redeeming their souls, to be...
