    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    I get mixed up with the difference between blue states and red states sometimes. Hmm :IDK: I had better stay on my side of the puddle.

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    lf I was a US citizen, I would support Mike Pence. Whose side does that put me on?

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    Thank you for saying that. I’ve heard some people say he’s the return of Jesus, and others say he’s the Antichrist. Hey my America bros: do the world a favour and just stick him in jail.

    Why do Dispies count Daniels 'weeks' from Artaxerxes 20th year?

    Cyrus was well before the times we are discussing. As for your ”if”, the old Elamite traditions were superseded when Darius rebuilt the palace in Susa. It became the winter residence of Achaemenid kings. So, Nehemiah would have embarked from Babylon in spring.

    How did that list morph into the Holy Roman Empire?

    Prophecy and History

    Yeah, chapter 7 sorry. “behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.” (‭‭Daniel‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬)...

    Daniel 2 places 10 kingdoms in the original boundaries Rome before (and up to) the rise of Islam. I cannot see them fulfilled in the Holy Roman Empire. How do you and Randy explain them?

    Prophecy and History

    Well, we don't go far wrong looking at Daniel 2 and 7. :Zzzzz: But the west 'leg' of Rome ended in 476 AD and the east 'leg' in 1453 AD. Why are you even looking at east and west catholics for clues following the actual Roman empire? They are religions - not empires. The best example of an...

    Why do Dispies count Daniels 'weeks' from Artaxerxes 20th year?

    It appears at first sight that Nehemiah had further to travel since his location in Persia was said to be in Susa, not Babylon. That was 200 plus miles further east, a significant addition, if it was indeed where he set out from. However, Susa was the winter residence of Persian kings, and his...

    Why do Dispies count Daniels 'weeks' from Artaxerxes 20th year?

    Sorry for the delay. We continue to work back by finding the time it took to travel from Babylon to Jerusalem, and this is deduced from the time it took Ezra to make the same journey. It is obvious we should do this when we consider that the accounts of Ezra and Nehemiah were earlier combined...

    What was the date of the Crucifixion?

    Don’t despair. Your commonsense replies get read by more than just the talkers.

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    They have more gaps in their timelines than Methuselah had in his teeth! :phew:

    Why do Dispies count Daniels 'weeks' from Artaxerxes 20th year?

    You will have read then, that Susa functioned as the winter residence of Persian kings.

    Why do Dispies count Daniels 'weeks' from Artaxerxes 20th year?

    Yes, Artaxerxes’ earlier decree was on the 1st day of Nisan of his seventh year, (457 BC) whereas the second command given in his twentieth year (444 BC) is only recorded as *sometime* during the month of Nisan. "In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes ... I said to the...

    I’ve got ‘The Coming Prince’ and ‘Chronological Aspects’. Together with your video I’m sitting in my chair holding my head, glazed eyes on the ceiling, and rocking gently. (but I agree with your conclusions concerning Anderson and Hoehner.)

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    Starting a new thread. Will get to when in Nisan Artaxerxes gave his command to Nehemiah. I think you will find it interesting. Why do Dispies count Daniels 'weeks' from Artaxerxes 20th year?

    Why do Dispies count Daniels 'weeks' from Artaxerxes 20th year?

    Admittedly, the twentieth-year start point for Daniel’s 70 weeks has had its supporters. Their problem though, is that a count of 483 years (69 x 7) from 444 BC comes to AD 40, a date which arrives well after Jesus died. So, proponents of the 444 BC terminus a quo resort to various 'short-year'...

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    Yes, this verse is very much to the point of what we are talking about. Jesus was speaking during the first half of the 70th week when his ministry was still being directed toward his people, the Jews. The 70th week had its own timetable:- Jews first, Samaritans second, then the Gentiles.
