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

    Are you serious, that I didn't even understand what @Douggg meant per post # 41? What was there to not understand about it? He was crystal clear in that post. Actually, the post I made right after his, where at the time I hadn't even read post 41 yet, is basically making the same point he was...

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

    Speaking for myself I have zero issues with there being a type and antitype in this case. Except Daniel 8, 12 is not the type, it is the antitype. The type, we determine that from Maccabees not the book of Daniel. Numerous clues in both ch 8 and 12 prove I have to be correct. Clues such as...

    What do you know, a voice of reason. Something that is somewhat rare these days.

    Revelation 10:1 ¶And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left...

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

    Since your point in regards to the 7 thunders is apparently going over my head, let's try a different route. Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. 24...

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

    Everyone already agrees that Christ preexisted, except for maybe JWs, I guess. Using your logic maybe Christ didn't even need to be born into the world to begin with since He doesn't even need to be born into the world first in order to fulfill any of these prophecies?

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

    Do you then take it to mean that whatever the 7 thunders uttered, it will never be revealed ever? It will remain a mystery throughout eternity?

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

    Guess what, Douggg? I already fully agree that A4E in not meant in verse 36. What I don't agree with is that verses 21-35 are meaning A4E while Daniel 8:9-14, 23-25, are meaning a future AC. What I do agree with, which contradicts your position, is that Daniel 8:9-14, 23-25, and Daniel 11:21-45...

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

    I fully agree. I do not dispute that, the fact that the text plainly says so. Now you need to show me where it says that in ch 11. Therefore, it is not a question of that Antiochus IV met his end in Persia. It was not time of the end. It is a question of where does it ever say that in ch. 11?

    Other Poster: So IMO you are just chasing at the wind still trying to get ChatGPT to agree with your answers. ME: Your approach to how to use ChatGPT is not my approach. My approach involves formulating arguments rather than just asking it questions. You have to provide it some context first...

    Your approach to how to use ChatGPT is not my approach. My approach involves formulating arguments rather than just asking it questions. You have to provide it some context first. You have to allow it the ability to reason through these things with you. I do not agree nor will ever agree that...

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

    Douggg, pretty much all interpreters agree that the vile person meant in Daniel 11:21 is the same little horn person meant in Daniel 8:9-14, 23-25. Your interpretation contradicts that fact. Any interpretation that agrees that the vile person meant in Daniel 11:21 is the same little horn person...

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

    It basically boils down to this. Daniel 8:15 ¶And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. 16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel...
