Debate Over Who Is God's Anointed

Debate Over Who Is God's Anointed

Continued from Part 4 It is said that when Jesus supposedly ascended to heaven every one of the six objectives to be accomplished had been fulfilled.  It is said he fulfilled all of the prophecies of the Jewish Scriptures.  Well, except for those he is going to fulfill when he comes back, whenever that’s supposed to happen.  A review of the supposed fulfillments finds he fulfilled nothing. It is obvious that Jesus did not fulfill any of the six expectations of verse 24, despite the strained un

Why Troubling Times Lasted 62 Weeks For Daniel

Continued from Part 5 Following these forty-nine years is a period of “troubled times” lasting sixty-two weeks or 434 years.  During these years many enemies will arise seeking to annihilate the Jewish people either physically or spiritually, or both, and to hinder Jerusalem from taking its rightful place as the spiritual center of the nation of Israel. At the instigation of the enemies of the Jews, the building of the Second Temple was halted for some time, but Jerusalem, which expresses phys

Continued from Part 6 The second anointed one Verse 26. And after the sixty-two weeks an anointed one shall be cut off, and he shall have nothing; the people of a leader who is to come shall destroy the city and the Sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood; and until the end of war desolations are determined. Verse 26 is concerned with events that are to take place after “the sixty-two weeks.”  It is only after the sixty-two weeks that an anointed one is cut off and no mention is made of

Getting The Events Straight From Daniel

Getting The Events Straight From Daniel

Continued from Part 7 The second part of verse 26 is a sweeping historical synopsis of events leading to the destruction of the Second Temple.  This is the tragedy encapsulated “and the people [the Romans] of the leader [Pompey] who is to come, shall destroy [under Titus]” that is, the years 63 B.C.E. to 70 C.E.  The encounter with the destructive forces of the Roman Empire did not begin with the Jewish Revolt but go back to Pompey’s attack on Jerusalem and the Temple. But, of course, our disc

And it [the Roman government] shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and during half of the week it [the Roman government on account of its successful military campaigns] shall cause sacrifice and meal offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall be that which causes desolation; and that until decisive destruction shall be poured out upon that which causes desolation.

How The Romans Continued To Persecute The Jewish People

How The Romans Continued To Persecute The Jewish People

Continued from Part 9 The Romans were ever vigilant against a Jewish insurrection.  Tenacious in their loyalty to ancestral beliefs and customs Jews presented Rome with a unique security problem, once their religious sensibilities were aroused.  Moreover, there was the Jewish refusal to practice the formalities of state worship. This inevitably brought the charge of disloyalty, from their detractors, especially among the Hellenized Gentile communities.  Judea showed the least appreciable increas

The Darkest of The Night Is Just Before The Dawn

Continued from Part 10 After the night comes the dawn Daniel’s text is followed by a simple but poignant statement concerning the post-destruction status of the Temple Mount under the control of various Gentile groups during the indeterminate period which will eventually be followed by the building of the Third Temple. Once the seventy weeks have passed, “upon the wing30 of abominations [that is, upon the elevated place of the Temple Mount on which there are detestable things] shall be that
