1 | Who is the "they" in this passage? | Dan 2:43 | kalos | 22855 | ||
Nolan: I've always wanted to know: In Daniel what is the meaning of the third toe on the left foot (Daniel 2:41-42) of the "single great statue" (Dan 2:31, NASB)? I have been losing sleep over this question and am hoping to find a prophecy trivia expert to answer it. :-) All kidding aside, I think the most important verse in Daniel 2, if not in the entire book of Daniel, is verse 44 -- not that the other verses are not important. It's such a key verse, I wonder why I virtually never hear a pastor, teacher or layman quote or refer to it. Daniel 2:44 "In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and [that] kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever. And for what it's worth, the verse in Daniel that is now uppermost in my mind is Daniel 9:27. "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations [will come] one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." (NASB) Compare 9:27 with Matthew 24:15: "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)," (NASB).

2 | Who is the "they" in this passage? | Dan 2:43 | Ray | 22893 | ||
Hi kalos, When you continue on in your passages and comparison of Daniel and Matthew 24, I think that you would find Daniel 11:31 and Matthew 24:24 interesting. The passages deal with the people who know their God and the elect. Daniel 11:32, "And by smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their *God will display strength and take action." Matthew 24:24, "For false *Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, the elect." It is my expectant hope that the elect will know their God. Later, Ray |
