1 | Who is the "they" in this passage? | Dan 2:43 | Makarios | 22862 | ||
Greetings Kalos, my friend! I was rolling on the floor and laughing for about five minutes after reading your first paragraph! :-) (Toes?) Yes, you are absolutely right! Daniel 2:44 is the "key" verse, even though everyone likes to dwell upon all the other verses.. :-) Daniel 9:27 and Matthew 24:15 are very interesting when viewed in conjunction with each other... Many believe that 'the holy place' will be a new, rebuilt temple. But what is this "ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION"? Many believe, along with myself, that this is referring to the Anti-Christ (Dan. 9:26), as being the 'one' who will stop the sacrificing and make 'desolate' in Matt. 24:15. However, my Zondervan NASB Study Bible thinks that this was Antiochus Epiphanes who erected a pagan altar to Zeus on the sacred altar in the temple of Jerusalem. But I think that this is referring to the Anti-Christ. Grace to you, Nolan |

2 | Who is the "they" in this passage? | Dan 2:43 | kalos | 22875 | ||
Nolan: I agree with your understanding of these endtime prophecies. Apparently Daniel 9 and Matthew 24 refer to BOTH Antiochus Epiphanes and the Anti-Christ. Here is another example of prophecy that has both a near and a distant fulfillment/application. It need not be either/or -- i.e., either Antiochus Epiphanes or Anti-Christ. Grace to you, kalos |

3 | Who is the "they" in this passage? | Dan 2:43 | Makarios | 22876 | ||
Good point kalos! I'm always flexible when it comes to eschatology, but 'not so flexible' when it comes to baptism and salvation.. :-) Grace to you my friend, Nolan |

4 | Who is the "they" in this passage? | Dan 2:43 | kalos | 22879 | ||
Nolan: Appropriate flexibility is a characteristic of a person who has a teachable spirit. Yet, speaking for myself, I am 'not so flexible' when it comes to the essentials of the Christian faith (fundamental Bible doctrine). I am as flexible as stone when it comes to the fundamental Bible doctrine of justification by faith alone. And, I might add, this doctrine is no more the invention or exclusive property of the reformists than the Deity of Christ is. Grace to you, kalos |
