Maybe you should check out the history of Judaea in the centuries following Greek rule. Dan 11 covers the gentile empires that trod down Jerusalem. It covers about 200 years of wars between the Seleucids and Ptolemies but what about 700 years of Roman rule, followed by a few hundred years of...

So... Dan 11:1-4 covers a few centuries and skips 130 years, then verses 5-35 are detailed which completely messes up your theory. Daniel must not have followed that rule you spoke about. Yet my suggestion that verses 35-45 also cover centuries and skip centuries is met with derision even though...

So how did the Sept 23 rapture work out for others?

You've covered all your bases with this statement. This is not a vision but it was given in a vision... at least everybody will agree with at least half of that statement.

You have repeatedly said Dan 11:5-35 are detailed accounts. I agree with you. What about Dan 11:2? How many years does that cover? Which power is introduced in Dan 11:30? Another difficulty with the standard interpretation of dan 11:31 is Matthew 24:15. Did Jesus refer to the abomination of...

Another crackpot prophecy bites the dust. Why don't people just stick to scriptures. No one knows the day or the hour except the Father. When we see jerusalem under attack and the jews fighting for their very survival (zech 14:1-4) then we can anticipate the Lord's coming is imminent. However...

Confusion certainly exists as you scroll through the weird and wacky posts here: Eschatology - Endtimes & Prophecy Forum

Ah one rule for you and another rule for me. Haha And in saying visions and dreams are never videos you say that dan 11:5-35 is. So you're saying that all the symbols in the most apocalyptic book of all will be literally fulfilled. You need a different nom de plume. Fantasywriter perhaps

Why? The early church didn't celebrate His birth, they celebrated his death and resurrection.

A couple of weeks after i became a christian in August 1979 i was reading a book called Byzantine Civilization by H.W. Haussig and saw that Dec 25 was taken from pagan religion and that Isis supposedly gave birth to Horus on 25 Dec. I never celebrated xmas again. I had embraced paganism when I...

You really painted yourself into a corner with this statement. You don't have time to address my errors... i could bring up verses from every book of the bible to show that prophetic verses are figurative not explicit. The lamb has 7 eyes, the dragon has 7 heads, the sun, moon and 11 stars of...

Joel 1:4 explitly says locusts will consume the land while Joel 1:6 tells us that is a nation. This was fulfilled by the Syrian Empire of Antiochus IV. So it's ok for the symbol of the locust to apply to a nation in Joel but not in Revelation. Are you waiting for grasshoppers to come out of a...

Not at all. Rev 9:19 Their power is in their tails. Are you waiting for a literal fulfillment of this? 100 best Ottoman Horse Tail Standard (Tugh) images on Pinterest | Horse tail, Ottomans and Ottoman empire Interesting collection of pictures on that page. Among them are several that show the...

The Umayyad Caliphate certainly exceeded the area of the Ptolemaic king of the south. Who did they attack? Dan 11:40 At the top is a map showing the range of the desert locust.

At the top is the Seljuk empire, below is the Seleucid empire.

The Bedouins escaped out of their hands. The Ottomans were never able to fully subdue them and in the late 19th to early 20th centuries attacks by these nomads weakened the Turkish hold of the glorious land. And they went on to become the kings of the East of Rev 16 after the Euphrates...

You claim to have some understanding but again your knowledge of history is dismal. The Ptolemies did NOT originate in Egypt, they were Greek. They were the Greek rulers of Egypt and north Africa. Who replaced them after Cleopatra VII? And after the Romans were defeated who came next?

What happened to the remnants of Alexander's empires from the first century BC until the present time? Oh that's right... the Roman empire happened, and the Arab caliphate happened and the Turkish empire happened. I didnt inject a new power into the prophecy. Someone more powerful than I did that.

Really? The Seljuks and the Ottomans were not competitive, and the fact they were both Turkish and that the Ottoman empire was only named after a local tribal leader who came from the earlier Turkish invasion of Anatolia completely escapes your notice. You have a very sorry grasp of the history...

What I said was the Seljuq Empire was almost identical to the Seleucid Empire. Look at some maps. I said the Arab caliphate corresponded to the Ptolemaic Empire.
