I would like to think I always accept the Word of God —at least, once I realize it is the Word of God. I don't always accept any one person's use of the Word of God. Particularly when they think in some grandiose manner that THEY are the fulfillment of it.

But you did not answer the question...
do you ACCEPT or REJECT what the BIBLE says in Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10
You have never contradicted yourself? Aren't but so many people that sure of themselves!
I have no interest in speaking further with you. Have a great day.

How convenient...
You cannot show ONE EXAMPLE of me contradicting myself.
So you run away instead of supporting your accusation.
Sad.

I answered you just as clearly as you asked. Maybe you have a problem with compound sentences.

'Did not' is not the same thing as "cannot". But when you need to win by belittling someone, I guess you can't tell the difference.

Why should I show an example of you contradicting yourself? You aren't that important to me, anymore. I have no desire to review your posts, just to prove an obvious point, i.e that we all contradict ourselves sometimes, usually without realizing that we do so. Somehow your overweening won't allow you to admit to it nor certainly to see contradictions in what you say. I have this thing where I find myself unable to take some people seriously after talking with them and seeing what they are like. You claim to never have contradicted yourself.

"No... I have never contradicted myself."

Sad.

But, for whatever it might be worth to you to advance your agenda, I have shown ways people contradicted themselves more often to meet with denial than admission that it is a contradiction, but at least most of those are quite a bit more humble than you seem to me. Seeing the way you are in your use of self-promotion and misuse of Scripture, I have no desire to get into that with you. Have another good day!

But my question was about a SPECIFIC passage Dan 12:4 and 12:8-19
You saying you "always accept the Word of God - at least, once I realize it is the Word of God"
does not indicate whether you accept Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10
I don't know whether you are intentionally avoiding the question
or whether you do not UNDERSTAND the question.
Either way... you did not ANSWER the question.

But, isn't this remarkable? You think the conversation must necessarily go the way you want it to go.

Not so... I am just looking for an ANSWER to a specific QUESTION
and you are speaking in generalities.
Please answer the question

But if it will make you happy to hear it, YES, I accept what the BIBLE says in Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10. I don't accept your use of what the BIBLE says in Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10. —I hope that was clear enough.

So what PART of my understanding of Daniel 12:4 and 12:8-10 do you REJECT?

(1) Do you reject the Truth about Daniel's Fourth Beast (Revelation Beast) remained
"closed-up" and "sealed" until the "Time-of-the-End"? Meaning all "interpretations about the Fourth Beast
MUST be wrong if they were made 100 - 200 -500 years BEFORE the "Time-of-the-End".

(2) Do you reject the Last Saints are the ones that "shall understand" those mysteries at the "Time-of-the-End"?

(3) What EXACTLY do you REJECT?


Dan 12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the TIME-OF-THE-END:
many
[Last Saints] shall run to and fro, and knowledge [about the Gospel] shall be increased.


Dan 12:8-10
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the TIME-OF-THE-END.
Many
[Last Saints] shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly:
and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise [Last Saints] shall understand.


'Did not' is not the same thing as "cannot". But when you need to win by belittling someone, I guess you can't tell the difference.

I was not aware we were "in a battle"... certainly not from MY PART.
I am trying to have a civilized conversation with you about a specific issue.
I am sorry if I offended you in some way... it was not intentional
I am sorry that YOU think we are "in a battle"


Why should I show an example of you contradicting yourself? You aren't that important to me, anymore.

You should show me an example because you ACCUSED me of teaching contradictions...
without providing a SINGLE example. That is hardly the way adults conduct civil discussions.
If you are willing to ACCUSE me of something then you (by adult standard) are required to show
an example of a contradiction.

Children make accusations without providing examples or proof.
We are not children.


I have no desire to review your posts, just to prove an obvious point,

You do not need to "review my posts" to FIND some contradiction.
You only need to show WHAT contradiction I said for you to ACCUSE me of a sin.
If you do not have a single example of me teaching contradictions then you should
(1) not accused me of that sin or
(2) you should man-up and retract your accusation.


Somehow your overweening won't allow you to admit to it nor certainly to see contradictions in what you say. I have this thing where I find myself unable to take some people seriously after talking with them and seeing what they are like. You claim to never have contradicted yourself.
5thKingdom said:
"No... I have never contradicted myself."

I have been preaching for a long time.
NOTHING I have written in this forum is different that what I always preach.
So I have no doubt that I have not contradicted myself (unless it was a typo)

But, when I am accused of teaching contradictions
the burden is not on ME to prove everything I said,
Instead, the burden is on YOU to support your accusation
with EXAMPLES.

I know that YOU know this is "the way" it is supposed to work
So do not play a game that "everyone contradicts themselves sometimes"
That is childish - with all due respect. It is just childish.

If your "proof" is that "everybody contradicts themselves sometimes"
then you never should have ACCUSED me of that sin.

I am not interested in continuing this discussion
EXCEPT to find your answer to the Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10 question (above)

If you find that you are not ABLE to answer my (specific) questions about Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10
then your "fruit" demonstrates that the problem is YOU and not my questions.

What's making me chuckle here is that I merely fail to accept your use of it. I haven't even looked to see how you use it. I just don't care at this point. You have spent 50 years on prophecy and come up with a system. I reject it out of hand, because there is more to life than prophecy. Your focus is out-of-kilter with the sanctification that you should have been pursuing all along: Obedience. It shows up in that you think that YOU have got it all figured out. Nobody does. But yours, I reject, or more accurately, yours I ignore, because I don't trust your heart and mind. I see how it works. "I have never contradicted myself", indeed?! Have you never learned something that changes what you once believed and taught? Are you always right?

LOL... Nu 12:8
is talking about the (2nd) Jewish "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 22:2]
The Gospel of the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 13, in 7 verses]
REVEALED many of the OT mysteries.


This is Christian theology 101...
why is it "news" to you?


Are YOU living in the Jewish Kingdom?
THEN you could use Nu 12:8 as a "proof text"


However, if you are living in the Christian Kingdom
you must use Daniel 12:4 and Daniel 12:8-10 as a "proof text"


If you INTENTIONALLY IGNORE those passages
then you are intentionally REJECTING the Word of God
(because I did not write those passages)


Dan 12:4
But thou, O Daniel,
shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the TIME-OF-THE-END:
many
[Last Saints] shall run to and fro, and knowledge [about the Gospel] shall be increased.


Dan 12:8-10
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the TIME-OF-THE-END.
Many

and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise [Last Saints] shall understand.


Not only do the Last Saints "understand" mysteries that were "closed-up" and "sealed"
to all previous (Jewish and Christian) Saints... the Last Saints also PREACH these mysteries
as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11]


So you can continue to pretend the Last Saints do not understand what was "closed-up" and "sealed"
to all previous Saints... but your pretending means you REJECT what the Bible clearly teaches in Daniel 12.
Are you comfortable REJECTING Daniel 12? Are you comfortable INTENTIONALLY IGNORING
the Word of God?

And yet you fail to
(1) show how my understanding contradicts ONE VERSE of Scripture and
(2) show any alternative understanding

You pretend that DENYING my doctrine is the same as REFUTING it from Scripture.
And that is a silly and naïve position for you to take.
It's actually comical.

Glad your strawman amuses you.

I don't pretend to refute anything you said. My rather obvious main point is, I don't care to debate your points, because I don't take you seriously. It's just not worth it to me. But have a great evening!

God has one people, the one olive tree (Ro 11), the church, going all the way back to Abraham, and into which it is Israel's destiny to be grafted back IF (not "when") she does not persist in unbelief (Rom 11:23).

Your personal interpretation of prophetic riddles (Nu 12:8) is in contradiction to authoritative NT apostolic teaching.

You are so funny PRETENDING the Gospel of the Christian Kingdom
did NOT reveal mysteries not understood during the Jewish Kingdom.

You are PRETENDING Nu 12:8 is not in contradiction to Daniel 12:4 and 12:8-10...
and not in contradiction to the very clear reality that OT "mysteries" are revealed in the NT.

But let's not leave it at that:
Please tell me WHO and WHAT is involved with Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10...
notice the WHEN is already established as the "Time-of-the-End.

When you can do that... and ONLY when you have done that,
THEN you can justify your "opinion" about Nu 12:8 applying to the Last Saints on earth.
Fair enough? I look forward to your explaination about the WHO and WHAT of Daniel 12.
Take your time and read the text carefully...

BTW... since Daniel 12 is talking about the FOURTH BEAST...
would you also be so kind as to tell us WHAT the four Beasts represent?

You are pretending again..
I do not have a "personal interpretation" of any "riddles"...
so you are talking nonsense.

What I have is a SCRIPTURE [Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10]
that PROMISES you are incorrect... since it PROMISES
the Last Saints "shall understand" Biblical mysteries that
remained "closed-up" and "sealed" to all previous Saints.

Listen... you do not have to LIKE what Dan 12 reveals
and you do not have to ACCEPT what Dan 12 reveals
but that does not negate what Dan 12 reveals.

If you want to ADDRESS the issue then stop pretending
and simple EXPLAIN what Dan 12:4 means
and what Dan 12:8-10 means.

Can you do that?
Or is citing Nu 12:8 (which does not apply to Christians) all that you can do?
If that is all you can do then you cannot offer an "informed opinion" on Dan 12

It really is as simple as that.

Daniel was to seal the book and preserve it because it would not be understood until the things in it were accomplished.
In the meantime, the wicked will continue to be wicked, while those who are wise (obedient) will continue to understand doctrine, and those who are governed by divine law will continue to be enlightened by divine light (because if any man chooses to do God's will, he will find out God's truth, Jn 17:7).

What in the world makes you think @Clare73 means to negate ANYTHING the Bible says, teaches or reveals? The question here is, how in the world do you come up with that you are the fulfillment of Dan 12? It has been revealed to you so anyone who says otherwise denies Dan 12? —Who do you think you are?? I can only hope I'm misunderstanding you, but that is how you keep coming across.

Daniel was to seal the book and preserve it because it would not be understood until the things in it were accomplished.

Yes, of course that is what I said. Only the Last Saints "shall understand"
Just like Jesus PROMISED the Last Saints "shall see ALL these things" [Mat 24:33]...
meaning the historical fulfillment of all the Great Tribulation prophecies of Mat 24 and 25...
so also these Last Saints "shall understand" Daniel's prophecies at the period called the "Time-of-the-End"

So, you see, we are in agreement that the Last Saints "shall see" Great Tribulation prophecies fulfilled
and the Last Saints "shall understand" Daniel's prophecies (but no previous Saint could understand)

My point remains unrefuted..
Only the Last Saints "shall understand" Daniel's prophecies and
ALL "interpretations" made BEFORE the "Time-of-the-End" MUST BE WRONG
because they were made when the Truth was "closed-up" and "sealed"

In the meantime, the wicked will continue to be wicked, while those who are wise (obedient) will continue to understand doctrine, and those who are governed by divine law will continue to be enlightened by divine light (because if any man chooses to do God's will, he will find out God's truth, Jn 17:7).


No... you are guessing and ADDING what is not in the text...
You do not understand the CONTEXT of the passage

Joh 17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

John 17 is talking about the Saints in the THIRD BEAST on earth - the Christian Kingdom during the Great Commission.
Daniel's prophecies are about the FOURTH BEAST on earth - the (1) Revelation Beast or the (2) Great Tribulation Kingdom
or the (3) Rule of the Anti-Christ during (4) Satan's "Little Season" AFTER being released from the Pit.

You have CONFLATED a passage about the THIRD Kingdom
with our subject - which is the FOURTH Kingdom.

When you cannot discern the CONTEXT of a passage...
does it apply to the (2nd) Jewish Kingdom, the (3rd) Christian Kingdom or the (4th) Great Tribulation Kingdom...
when you cannot discern WHICH BEAST is the context then you have no hope of understanding the meaning
of that passage.

This is a common mistake.
When you read Scripture the FIRST THING you must discern is the CONTEXT of the passage...
WHICH "Kingdom" is in view... the Jewish Kingdom, the Christian Kingdom or the Great Tribulation Kingdom.

Because that is what she did

The question here is, how in the world do you come up with that you are the fulfillment of Dan 12?

Because, as the Bible PROMISES, it's revealed to the Last Saints...
since you cannot REFUTE my words from Scripture
your tone is not appropriate


It has been revealed to you so anyone who says otherwise denies Dan 12?

Anyone that REJECTS Daniel 12:4 and 8-10 is REJECTING the Word of God.
It is really as simple as that - why are you confused?

You have not even bothered to TRY to refute my words with an alternative understanding
of the verses... because you cannot.

Instead of REFUTING my Gospel with Scripture...
you DENY what I said (without Biblical support)
DENIAL does not establish anything except that
you are unable to prove me wrong with Scripture.


—Who do you think you are?? I can only hope I'm misunderstanding you, but that is how you keep coming across.


I am one of the Last Saints... that is WHY I can "understand" what only the Last Saints "shall understand"
Tell me sir... are you surprised there are Last Saints? Is this a NEW CONCEPT to you"
Or, are you just upset that I "understand" Daniel's prophecies and you do not?

Where are your Scriptures, proving an image was also made to the 3rd beast? Afterall, in order to not worship it's image, it requires that there has to be an image to worship, in order to refuse to worship.
Exactly! None have been posted. Only assumptions.

Where are your Scriptures, proving an image was also made to the 3rd beast? Afterall, in order to not worship it's image, it requires that there has to be an image to worship, in order to refuse to worship.

Exactly! None have been posted. Only assumptions.


LOL, you guys crack me up.
You want to talk about the "Image" when you cannot DEFINE what it represents.
That is hilarious.


FIRST you must be able to discern WHAT the "Beast" represents and WHAT the "Image" represents
and WHAT the "Mark" represents.


THEN (and only then) can you discuss WHEN the "Beast/Image/Mark" occurred.


I have already told you that, during the Jewish "Beast" there was an "Image" and a "Mark".
I have already told you that, during the Christian "Beast" there was an "Image" and a "Mark"
I have already told you that, during the Great Tribulation "Beast" there is an "Image" and a "Mark"


BTW... ONLY during the Great Tribulation "Beast" was there an Anti-Christ
(Little Horn, False Prophet, Man of Sin)... that is what makes the Fourth Beast different...
Satan and his Anti-Christ RULE during the Fourth Beast - they did NOT rule the Great Commission
of the Church Age (the Third Beast)


But YOU cannot even "see" what these "Beasts" represent...
WHY in the world would you expect to understand the "Image" and "Mark"...
when you cannot even understand these three "Beasts"???


I can say these things because (1) they are Biblically valid and (2) I already know WHAT each term represents.
You can never REFUTE my Gospel because is Biblically valid... you can only DENY
and that really means LESS than nothing... those are your "feelings"
and nothing more.


If you want to discuss WHEN Rev 20:4 represents... WHEN the 1000 years represents...
then FIRST you must understand WHICH "Beast" is in view (the Jewish or Christian or Great Tribulation)
and SECONDLY you must understand what the "Image" and "Mark" represent.


BTW... the church has always (correctly) understood the 1000 years represents
the Church Age... so this is NOT some NEW information. The A-Millennial Gospel
has ALWAYS been the "traditional" understanding of the Church (until recently).


I already know these things (because I am one of the Last Saints the Bible PROMISES "shall understand".
On the other hand, YOU do not know these things... and YET you are so presumptuous as to pretend
that you can simply DENY Biblical Truth because you do not understand that Biblical Truth.


Let me remind you WHAT the Bible promises:
The Bible PROMISES [Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10] that this information would remain "closed-up" and "sealed"
to all the (Jewish and Christian) Saints until the Last Saints "shall understand" at the "Time-of-the-End".
This means all OLD "interpretations" on the Fourth Beast MUST BE WRONG because they were developed
WHILE the Truth remained "closed-up" and "sealed"... and YET you cannot accept this reality.


Well... we are currently WITHIN the "Time-of-the-End" and the Last Saints already "understand"...
it is not just me, there are other Last Saints that "understand" the things I am revealing to you.


Bottom Line:
If you want me to TEACH you WHAT the "Image" and "Mark" represent...
I would consider doing that... but not until AFTER you have agreed WHAT the "Beasts" represent.
There is no reason for me to TEACH you what the "Image" and "Mark" represent while you DENY what the "Beasts" represent.

I am one of the Last Saints... that is WHY I can "understand" what only the Last Saints "shall understand"
Tell me sir... are you surprised there are Last Saints? Is this a NEW CONCEPT to you"
Or, are you just upset that I "understand" Daniel's prophecies and you do not?

.

Last saints obviously mean more than one saint, as in numerous saints, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe even millions. Except you are only one saint not numerous saints. So, where are all these other last saints that are understanding these things the exact same way you are understanding them?
