That's the thing: Our Lord, in His Divine Nature, has only the Will of the Father, viz., His Will and His Father's Will are one and the same. To put this in another manner, He does not possess an individual Divine Will unique to the Person of the Son, since both the Father and the Son have only...

Well, because it's a datum of Divine revelation. Since I answered your question, it's my turn to ask question(s): Do you believe that God's omniscience is identical to His omnipotence?

The Three Divine Persons have only One Mind, viz., One Intellect and One Will, since They are Consubstantial. Unlike human or even angelic persons, who, despite of the former having one common nature, still have their own individual minds.

I feel you. In fact, I hold to views probably more reactionary than yours on Vatican II, the popes after the council, and on politics here in the Philippine setting.

Most that have happened here in this part of the world where I'm from have made me more convinced of St. Augustine's later views on humanity. Not really surprised if only the very few would enter the Pearly Gates.

The Three Divine Persons have one Will and one Intellect. They are only distiguished by Their relations to one another, such as how the relation God-as-Knower-of-Himself is distinguished from the relation God-as-Known-by-Himself.

The harsh truth right here. Harsh, but still the truth.

Alright, I retract only my statement on 42 months. The rest still stands.

It seems to me you are confusing prophecies here. That one chapter was about one of the several visions the prophet Daniel had.

Christ had already receive power over all places of the cosmos on the day of His ascension. So the machinations of powerful evil men in Israel should no longer agitate us, for He will punish them on Judgement Day. And it should no longer keep us at night that there is no descendant of Abraham...

I’m pretty certain the prophet Daniel was speaking about the Christian Church, which shall never be completely destroyed by her enemies.

It is certain that there are evil men in the Holy Land. But, that doesn’t mean that Abraham’s Seed hadn’t receive what’s promised to Him (in fact, He had received more than what was written in Genesis, since He received from His Father all of Creation at the moment He ascended to the heavens)...

Our Lord Jesus Christ is now ruling over the heavens and the earth, which inevitably includes the little dot of land in the Middle East the Lord had promised to Abraham and to his Seed.

Zechariah was predicting the Second Coming and the New Heavens and Earth. Almost certainly the physical Jerusalem will be renewed and everyone who’s saved will dwell in it. And the gruesome punishments described in that chapter you have quoted are reserved for the damned.

One of the few supernatural events in history recorded in Jewish and Pagan sources (though Tacitus may be relying on Josephus here).
