I'm not changing what the Bible actually says. It may be in conflict with your interpretation....but that's all.
Read the bible, then the explanation and see if they say the same things.
I agree with Adam Maarschalk, that it was the ten high priests and appointed religious leaders. That's what currently lines up for me, based on my reading.
QuotingAdamMaarschalk:
Josephus listed exactly 10 high priests and religious leaders in Israel who were given authority as generals in December 66 AD or January 67 AD. I would like to propose that they fulfilled the prophecy given to John by the angel in Rev. 17:12-14. This would mean, of course, that the beast in
Revelation 17 was Jewish, not Roman. ~ "Josephus Lists the 10 Horns Who Received Authority for “One Hour” (
Revelation 17:12) | Pursuing Truth"
Josephus Lists the 10 Horns Who Received Authority for “One Hour” (Revelation 17:12)
Wow!
So these ten generals are part of the fourth gentile beast kingdom who are jews governing Israel? WOW!
and they have one mind- to give their authority to the Antichrist who subdues 3 of these ten kings! and the antchirst is the eleventh horn who is of the ten! so who is this Jewish leader/antichirst? I can't wait, the suspense is killing me!
What specific verse are you interpreting that way (that an actual cessation of sin was declared)? To me, that nullifies and delays the power of the Cross.
I am interpreting no verse that way but showing you the verse that says that!:
Daniel 9:24
King James Version
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins,
to make an end of sins- is to stop the practice of sin. It cannot mean solve the problem of sin by Jesus dying! that is covered by making reconciliation for iniquity.
Nope. I'm not saying that. At all.
then what do you mean when you say that Jesus solved the problem of sin when you quote that He :made an end to sins." the grammar only allows it to mean a cessation of the practice of sinning.
No....I (and the article I shared) am saying that was the New Covenant Jesus confirmed for 7 years. It's not that He "made a covenant" in 27 AD....He demonstrated that He was the promised Messiah the prophets and the Law spoke of. He fulfilled all the previous requirements that humanity could not fulfill. He was the New Adam....the seed of Abraham....the Son of David....the branch that would bear fruit.....the Lion of Judah.....the root of David.
I agree with all the titles you gave Jesus. so let me review your beliefs to date:
1. Jesus fulfilled the new covenant so it is complete.
2. The New covenant is the 7 year covenant of Daniel 9
3. the covenant was in effect for Jews from 27-34 AD
So Jews can no longer have gods law written in their inward parts? Are you saying no Jews now can know the Lord? Are you saying that no Jews now can have god as their god?
What happened after the 7 years were up with the new covenant for the jews?
I do believe Jesus confirmed the promised New Covenant (not a "7 year covenant")....also known as the everlasting covenant or covenant of peace.
So if the.
NOw that you say Jesus confirmed the covenant- do you no longer say Jesus fulfilled that covenant? New covenant is an everlasting covenant- what part of that covenant was happening from 27-34 Ad as you said is that confirmed covenant for 7 years?
