  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Here's one for those who have purchased their own Decoder Ring for interpreting the scriptures..

How about this one.. is it literal or does it mean something completely different than what it actually says... and will require the Ring for decoding.. ?

IF SO, please decode for us..

Literal. 42 mos. 3 1/2 years. Half of the 7 year trib.
The decoder ring is built in to the scripture.
Except it doesn't tell us who he is or when it will be, except at the end of the age.

I like that.. built in Decoder..

You're probably going to get a lot of the ol satanic deception bit though for believing it to be literal..

Just a warning..

Then with the future implication... you're likely to get LOL right out of here! :D

It's the spectrum intergrated internally from above with great conventional dictation which clearly you know nothing about without decoding :)....

Yes, the DofJ was that long. I don't think anyone in 1st century Judaism would have missed the significance of that. Josephus didn't mention it specifically that I know, but he did say the DofJ was the period referred to in the Daniel prophecy. He was a trained priest.
