But that's the point: where did you find the date of the second century? I've never heard of a document like this from the second century.I means that ALL of my statements on when various ancient documents were written are based ENTIRELY on dates alleged by those that claim to be experts in such things. As I have ZERO direct knowledge of the subject, I give dates I find online or elsewhere, but at least TRY to ALWAYS include the mini-disclaimer " 'is thought to' date from...".
I do not remember where I found this allegation. Possibly it came from Wikipedia. But perhaps from one of the sites that present historic Christian writings.But that's the point: where did you find the date of the second century? I've never heard of a document like this from the second century.
Sure, I believe everything you say, even over History and Scripture, because I BELIEVE YOU! -- NOT.
There are so many historical inconsistencies (lies) regarding the Prophecies of Daniel, they could fill a BOOK.
So if you're so sure about your "interpretations", then let's start with Daniel 1:21 & 10:1 just to make sure we know where the "starting point" really is.
Thanks,

One thing you are overlooking is that God removed all of the unbelievers from Israel. And the promises were only for those in Christ. And whatever is not fulfilled on earth will be fulfilled in heaven or in the New Heavens and earth. The broken off unbelieving Jews are not biblical Israel to whom the promises apply.There is no way to even pretend that Ezekiel 20:33-38, Ezekiel 36:1-10, Ezekiel 47:15-20, or any part of Ezekiel 48 has ever been fulfilled.
The thing you have overlooked is that the Holy Spirit said that when He brings them back to the land He will purge the rebels from among them, explicitly stating, concerning these rebels, that "I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel." Ezekiel 20:38One thing you are overlooking is that God removed all of the unbelievers from Israel. And the promises were only for those in Christ.

Jesus is Israel, and God purged the rebels when he broke off the unbelievers from him in Romans 11.The thing you have overlooked is that the Holy Spirit said that when He brings them back to the land He will purge the rebels from among them, explicitly stating, concerning these rebels, that "I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel."

There is no rational way to even pretend that there has ever been a time when God purged the rebels from the midst of Israelites as they were returning to the land, in such a way that those so purged will leave the country where they dwelt, but noe be allowed to enter the land.
This unquestionably did not happen as they were on their way back into the land from foreign countries.Jesus is Israel, and God purged the rebels when he broke off the unbelievers from him in Romans 11.
Jesus is Israel and so are those throughout the world who believe in him.This unquestionably did not happen as they were on their way back into the land from foreign countries.
This must be a mistaken reference as there is no such second century document.I do not remember where I found this allegation. Possibly it came from Wikipedia. But perhaps from one of the sites that present historic Christian writings.
But, and this you simply cannot rationally deny, since the time this was written, there has never been a time when God brought the children of Israel back to their land, and as they were coming, purged rebels from their midst, causing these rebels to leave the countries where they were dwelling, but keeping them from entering the land.Jesus is Israel and so are those throughout the world who believe in him.
You are confusing the broken off defunct Jews (now gentiles) with the Israel of Christ.But, and this you simply cannot rationally deny, since the time this was written, there has never been a time when God brought the children of Israel back to their land, and as they were coming, purged rebels from their midst, causing these rebels to leave the countries where they were dwelling, but keeping them from entering the land.
Nothing even approximately like this has ever happened, and it is sheer lunacy to even attempt to pretend otherwise.
The only way you can even pretend that this has happened, is to claim that all these details, which are EXPLICITLY stated in Ezekiel 20, are simply not important.
http://earlychristianwritings.com/ lists it as sometime between 130-200 A.D. I believe that is where I got the date.This must be a mistaken reference as there is no such second century document.
So, you are flatly denying that this prophecy, which was expressly stated by God, was ever going to happen?You are confusing the broken off defunct Jews (now gentiles) with the Israel of Christ.
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
It happens to TRUE Israel (in Christ), not the broken off unbelievers who are now gentiles.So, you are flatly denying that this prophecy, which was expressly stated by God, was ever going to happen?
I see. So you don't know the difference between the late work you cited and the older Acts of John?http://earlychristianwritings.com/ lists it as sometime between 130-200 A.D. I believe that is where I got the date.
So, are you saying that NONE of the details in this prophecy were ever meant to actually happen?It happens to TRUE Israel (in Christ), not the broken off unbelievers who are now gentiles.
Who implied that?So, are you saying that NONE of the details in this prophecy were ever meant to actually happen?
Here's how it works. Israel's restoration happens on the last day in the resurrection of believers. (I have more to say on this if interested.) So all OT prophecies pertaining to the restoration happen then, in the New Heavens and Earth. All other find fulfillment in the New Covenant era on earth or in heaven. But there will never be a physical millennial kingdom on earth. The kingdom is a matter of faith, not sight.So, are you saying that NONE of the details in this prophecy were ever meant to actually happen?
You are flatly denying that the events so explicitly set forth in Ezekiel 20 will ever actually happen. In saying this, you are accusing God of lying when He said these, and many other very specific things, will happen.Here's how it works.

It is important to define Israel to whom the promises apply. They do not apply to the broken off unbelievers who are now gentiles. They apply only to Christ (Biblical Israel) and those united to him by faith. But any of the broken off can become members of Israel again through faith in Christ.
