That would place the AofD in 51/52 BC. Do you separate the AofD of Daniel 9:27 and Daniel 12:11? I consider them the same, so I think the midpoint of the 70th week is tied to the time of great distress, etc. (Daniel 12:1) "There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the...

Yeah, this exactly. I think he will claim his position in a temple in Jerusalem, but I know that could be wrong. 2 Thessalonians 2 gives us these simple facts: • Before the Day of the Lord, • an individual man • will exalt himself above God, • and he will be worshiped by many. • That...

Ok, could you explain how it would line up? So the first 'seven' would start with Cyrus, 538 BC?

16 hours right? It could mean individual days (maybe the result of the several unprecedented earthquakes in Revelation), but I think it means the total time of tribulation. If Jesus did not return exactly when He will, there would literally be no one alive on the earth. Here are other...

No.. how do you get that from the NT? Christians, like Jesus, are to be lambs to the slaughter. Would you have encouraged Christians to kill Paul when He was an enemy of Jesus? Paul's many victims were meant to die at his hands exactly when they did, as saints, never resorting to violence. Paul...

That's not a sword made of metal. That argument is used to justify just about every war: "God wants us to kill these evil people, His enemies," and the other side makes the same argument. They are both wrong. Every single person that uses violence thinks it's in a good cause, and it never is...

We should be fully willing to sacrifice, even our lives, for another person by putting ourselves in their place. We should realize who is in the wrong and preach and stand against their actions, but we should NEVER use deadly force, even against an "evil enemy." Jesus came to redeem that enemy...

Yeah, Gog and Magog and everything else happens and will happen exactly as God planned out long ago. All wrath is His; none is ours. Christians need to be preaching and practicing nonviolence. Many "Christians" and others try to do the work of God by waging "righteous" wars, and they could not...

That doesn't mean every time the word "sea" is used it refers to a multitude of people. Sometimes "sea" means the actual sea. Consider that John was prophesying a literal object ("something like a huge mountain all ablaze") being thrown into the actual sea, killing a third of all actual sea...

Ok. This is the verse we're looking at: The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. (Revelation 8:8)

"The turning of a 1/3 of the sea into blood" has definitely not happened. "The death of a third of all sea life" has definitely not happened. Same for the rest, but they will all be fulfilled at some point.

I updated the original post. It's now an excerpt from a work by Charlie Campbell: The Book of Revelation. It's a list of seven judgment events prophesied in Revelation that were definitely not fulfilled in the first century (or any time since).

Then that would be the midpoint of the 70th week. The AofD is "set up in the temple" at the midpoint of the 70th week by "he," who is the ruler/prince that confirms the seven-year covenant. Is the AofD in Daniel 9 the same as in Daniel 12? I definitely think so. "From the time that the daily...

Alright, the KJV translation for Daniel 9:27 ("for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate") sounds like the doing of Christ. The NIV translation I believe is right ("and at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation") sounds like the doing of an...

It's definitely a precaution for disaster relief. Remember Hurricane Sandy was last October, so I'm sure they want to be ready before another disaster, natural or otherwise. October 1st is the start of the fiscal year, so don't be worried about that particular date. FEMA probably wants orders...

Yeah, the alternate translation for 9:27 on that site does sound like Christ: "For the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate." I had always seen it: "And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation." But that author dismisses the idea of a 7-year...

Collapse reported on Temple Mount - Israel Today | Israel News August 27, 2013. Palestinian officials claim that the collapses are caused by deliberate Israeli action to bring down the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock so that the Jewish Temple can be rebuilt. But archaeologists and...

Ebed, the people of Jesus Christ never destroyed the city and the sanctuary, so we know the "ruler/prince to come" is a different person. Edit: we agree on that. The "he" in 9:27 both confirms a covenant for the final 'seven' and sets up the abomination that causes desolation. And at the...

After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. (Daniel 9:26) Christians did not "destroy the city and the sanctuary." This is how I see it: Jesus Christ is crucified...
