You mean they read my post #88 here >I have no doubt that at least some of them would have weighed your thesis.
They all found it wanting and rejected it.
Why do you reject a unanimous decision?
We are not the Judge of sin....God is. If He offers forgiveness for ALL sin through His sacrifice (which I believe He does) then He is holding no one's sin against them.He made atonement for sin, but sin has not ended! Wrong!
The covenant that had been foretold by the prophets. The covenant that had Jesus as the mediator/High Priest/King - Messiah.....descendant of David in the order of Melchizedek.....the Seed of Abraham.....the faithful Israelite that kept the Law and inherited the blessings.what specific covenant did Jesus confirm with the many for 7 years?

The Antichrist is Not Jewish or Israeli
voted on it, and came up with a unanimous decision? really?
With the definition being "to authenticate " it doesn't really matter whether it's "prophet" or "prophecy" used there because it's the fulfillment of prophecy that came from the prophets that vindicated them. IOW....to place the seal on the prophecy also seals the prophet (gives them credibility).well it is prophecy, not prophet. (the auto feature of forum probably changed what you typed. It happens to me every so often)
John Calvin - v. 24-27 was a prophecy - right.They reject your claim that "the vision" in Daniel 9:23 does not contemplate Daniel 9:24-27.
Scholars on Daniel 9:23:
John Calvin
"At the end of the verse, as I have already mentioned, the angel stimulates Daniel to greater zeal, and urges him to apply his mind and all his senses attentively to understand the prophecy which the angel was commanded to bring before him. It now follows, --"
Matthew Henry
"He demands his serious attention to the discovery he was now about to make to him: Therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision, v. 23. This intimates that it was a thing well worthy of his regard, above any of the visions he had been before favoured with. Note, Those who would understand the things of God must consider them, must apply their minds to them, ponder upon them, and compare spiritual things with spiritual. The reason why we are so much in the dark concerning the revealed will of God, and mistake concerning it, is want of consideration. This vision both requires and deserves consideration."
Albert Barnes
"And consider the vision - This vision - the vision of future things which he was now about to present to his view."
The commentary from Matthew Henry says this:Matthew Henry - v. 24-27 was a vision - wrong.
Albert Barnes - v 24-27 was a vision - wrong.
John Calvin - v. 24-27 was a prophecy - right.
John Calvin - v. 24-27 was a prophecy - right.
Matthew Henry - v. 24-27 was a vision - wrong.
Albert Barnes - v 24-27 was a vision - wrong.
The verse states "vision" ( i don't really understand the resistance to this?). Notice the colon after "vision" as well:Matthew Henry - v. 24-27 was a vision - wrong.
Albert Barnes - v 24-27 was a vision - wrong.
A vision - is a visualization. Daniel was not given visualization in Daniel 9.The verse states "vision" ( i don't really understand the resistance to this?). Notice the semicolon after "vision" as well:
"Daniel 9:23 At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:" Daniel 9:23 At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision: <-----link to parallel verses.

I am not and have not been making any claims of that sort.Still awaiting any claim other than your own that Daniel 9:23 refers to Daniel 8 rather than Daniel 9:24-27.
Still awaiting.
Still awaiting.
I am not and have not been making any claims of that sort.
I am not changing anything.Then restate your claim regarding what Daniel 9:23 refers to.
I am not changing anything.
Daniel did not visualize anything in Daniel 9. Do you think that when told by Gabriel the prophecy of the messiah cutoff v26 - that Daniel visualized Jesus hanging from a cross?
You think that when told by Gabriel the prophecy of the messiah cutoff v26 - that Daniel visualized Jesus hanging from a cross?Then you should have no problem restating it.
You think that when told by Gabriel the prophecy of the messiah cutoff v26 - that Daniel visualized Jesus hanging from a cross?
I am trying to show to you that Daniel did not have a vision in Daniel 9.Is that your restatement?
I am trying to show to you that Daniel did not have a vision in Daniel 9.
Gabriel gave to Daniel what would be considered prophecy, but not a vision.
v26 says the messiah cutoff - but it does not say by what method.
