    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Carefully read the verse. It does not say the people of the prince that shall come "destroyed the city and the sanctuary." It speaks of people coming in the future shall when they come destroy the city and sanctuary. Apparently when they are destroyed by the people that shall come it shall be...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Temporary? The spirit that returns to God after physical death is very much eternally alive, otherwise Christ would not have said the life we receive in Him when we have been born again is eternal and shall never die. I've already given you verses that teach our spirit indwelt with the Spirit...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    I'm not lying when I say you are supporting and defending Preterit doctrine when you claim the prince that shall come comes from a Preterit point of view is a viable option apparently because you fear offending WPM. You cannot mix biblical truth with that which is not biblical truth. The only...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    There is NEVER a date specific given in Scripture for the physical destruction we now know since it is past history, came in 70 AD. Throughout the Bible we find God's warnings of judgment and wrath that would come to His people if/when they do not repent of their unbelief and sins against Him...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    You have a nasty habit of calling people liars!!! Why would you defend Preterit doctrine when you say you're NOT Preterit? That's like saying a little bit of biblical error is OKAY. Doctrinal purity means something to serious students of the Word of God!

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    In this passage of Daniel 9 there is no mention of any other Messiah, prince or he that is NOT Christ! Messiah the Prince is Christ, the prince of the people is Christ, he who shall confirm the covenant is Christ! Stop defending Preterits by saying a viable pov is anyone other than Christ in...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Those of Old had a futurist view that all that is written shall be fulfilled when the promised Messiah the Prince would physically come. My view is only futurist, pertaining to the last day when Christ shall come again the second time. During this time, we have been in since the coming of...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    There must be a second coming of Christ to gather whosoever from among mankind has been born again. Christ won't be returning to this earth to establish physically the Kingdom of God here. It is when Christ comes again that believers are changed from mortal to immortal and corruptible to...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    This is interesting IndianaRob. I hadn't really considered it before, but I think you have a point. Zechariah's prophesy does speak of the coming Messiah, and those who were alive in those days when the Lord walked upon the earth, did look upon whom they pierced, and His disciples did mourn for...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Not "once again". The prophesy points to the first advent the prophets of old foretell that a time was coming when Messiah the Prince would come to save His people. When He came all the prophets regarding Him foretell, would then come to pass. When Christ returns for His people, He won't be...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    While I agree the Romans did physically destroy the city and temple through the providence of God. That was accomplished that God would bring a final judgment against the nation. But the judgment of God came against them because they; apostate Jews, had already become a desolation spiritually...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    You're asking the right questions. Remember David this is all future to the time of Daniel. The verse does not tell us when the people of the prince shall destroy the city and sanctuary. It says only that they shall. But when and how shall they destroy them? This is when I believe we get...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Topical Encyclopedia The Restoration after Exile refers to the period in Jewish history when the Israelites returned to their homeland following the Babylonian captivity. This significant event is chronicled in several books of the Old Testament, including Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah, and...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Yes, the part of John the Baptist in restoring all things was in turning the hearts of the people by telling them to repent for the long-awaited Messiah has come. By preaching the Lord has come, the people confessing their sins, were baptized by John. That prepared them to receive the better...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    What do you find erratic about these things being capitalized? They are all things and people set apart/sanctified by God. Sanctified - a primitive root; to be (causatively, make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally):—appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, (be...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Of course, I agree with John the Baptist coming before Christ in the spirit and power of Elijah. Not to restore all things but to prepare the way for Christ by preaching repentance from sin for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 3:1-3 (KJV) In those days came John the Baptist...

    Here is all of Dan 9, please point out where this erratic capitalization occurs. Da 9:1 ¶ In the first yeere of Darius the sonne of Ahasuerus, of the seede of the Medes, which was made King ouer the realme of the Caldeans, Da 9:2 In the first yeere of his reigne, I Daniel vnderstood by bookes...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    The timeline points not only to re-building, but also to the advent of Christ coming to earth in mortal, human flesh. The pivotal moment for the rebuilding of the Temple is the decree issued by Cyrus, King of Persia. This decree is recorded in Ezra 1:1-4:
