No, you won't wreck the thread. In fact the topic of the AoD ties in with it.
To explain it one is thing, but to hear it requires the Mind of Christ, being that of Isa. 55:8-9.
.
If all would come to understand fully, that His thoughts and ways are not ours, we would learn to be patient and LET HIM interpret HIS OWN thoughts about His OWN words to us. That means to trust Him ONLY for the interpretation, and "lean not to thine own understanding" , or the commentaries of others, no matter what title they have before their name.
.
Jesus gave to us all "The Tool" to do it!
John 16[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
.
The AoD is not what "church-ianity" proposes it to be!
In fact, it is so beyond them, they scarce can take it in, never mind to just sit there and listen to it.
.
If you understand anything of the historical AoD, with the Temple and the Jews, during the time of Antiochus Epiphanes (175-164 BC), then you might know that after that act of the AoD was committed, there was an event prophesied also in Daniel, for the event of "cleansing/restoring" that Jewish Temple.
.
So, before I go any deeper into the truth about the AoD, are you aware of who Antiochus Epiphanes was, as well as who Judas Maccabeus was?
.
Today, the Jews celebrate that memorable event as "Hanukkah".
