The Problem With Christians Interpreting Daniel 9

The Problem With Christians Interpreting Daniel 9

Chapter 45 THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL 9:24 -27 Part 1 LIARS FOR JESUS There a problem with Christian interpretative credibility.  I am referring to those Christians  ̶ ̶  theologians, laymen, missionaries or would-be missionaries who know what the original language texts actually say but who distort their meaning through deliberate mistranslations and the like because they feel it’s more important that people believe in Jesus as their Messiah and Savior than know that such beliefs are based

Continued from Part 2 Anointing the Holy of Holies The expression “and to anoint the Holy of Holies” refers to the reestablished Second Temple (Ezekiel 46:12) and the office of high priest (1 Chronicles 23:13).3  With all the tremendous positive strides made during the Second Temple period a national and spiritual disunity prevailed. Temple expansion by the cruel Herod the Great, an avarice priestly hierarchy starting with the Hasmoneans debased the priesthood and its function impeding the t

Are These True Expectations of The Messiah?

Continued from Part 3 Let us review the six expectations of verse 24 and see if they have any fulfillment in the life and death of Jesus. * to terminate the transgression:  What transgression was terminated by Jesus?  Some of the most heinous transgressions of the basic requirements God desires of mankind have been perpetrated by those who in one form or another give their spiritual allegiance to Jesus.  In fact, many of those nefarious deeds were done to “glorify” Jesus.  So, how did he term

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

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

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

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.
