1 | Does the OT talk about resurrection? | Matt 22:30 | Morant61 | 17380 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! I'm afraid I'm still confused! The Hebrew word 'Amad' is a Qal stem verb. The Enhanced Strong's lists the following definitions for it: ******************************************** 1) to stand, remain, endure, take one’s stand 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to stand, take one’s stand, be in a standing attitude, stand forth, take a stand, present oneself, attend upon, be or become servant of 1a2) to stand still, stop (moving or doing), cease 1a3) to tarry, delay, remain, continue, abide, endure, persist, be steadfast 1a4) to make a stand, hold one’s ground 1a5) to stand upright, remain standing, stand up, rise, be erect, be upright 1a6) to arise, appear, come on the scene, stand forth, appear, rise up or against 1a7) to stand with, take one’s stand, be appointed, grow flat, grow insipid ******************************************** The problem with correlating Dan. 12:1 with 2 Thes. 2:7 is that 'Amad' does not mean 'to disappear' or 'to be removed'. It means 'to take a stand or stand'. So, where did you get the definitions of 'cease, leave, and rise up'? I checked several sources and never saw those listed as options. Just curious!

2 | Does the OT talk about resurrection? | Matt 22:30 | CDBJ | 17598 | ||
Tim, I just received more info in regard to the problem between II Thess. 2:7 and Dan. 12:1 I mentioned what you said about the Heb. Word (amad) and this was his response. Your question concerning the meaning of "amad" in Daniel 12:1 is a good one. Obviously, the meaning of the term as defined in a dictionary and how it is used in Daniel 12:1 is important. In context, Daniel 12:1 states that Michael will stand up (stand still, arise, or whatever) and the people of Daniel will experience an unparalleled persecution. Regardless of what the term means, it appears that whatever Michael does, immediately following it his people will experience an unparalleled persecution. This much is certain. No one seems to really understand how the term "amad" is being used in Daniel 12:1. The removal of the restrainer in II Thess. 2 allows the lawless one to come on the scene. The lawless one is antichrist. When the restrainer is removed the persecution by the lawless one begins. Therefore, by reason, Michael's actions and the removal of the restrainers causes the same action. This makes sense to me, what do you think? CDBJ |

3 | Does the OT talk about resurrection? | Matt 22:30 | Morant61 | 17615 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! If there is a causual relationship betweent the first and second sentences. I don't know Hebrew well enough to determine that. However, it also looks possible (even more likely) that the first sentence is associated with third sentence where it is said the people will be delievered. The reason I say more likely is because of the number of times the word is used in Daniel. If 'amad' were only used 1, then we could say that maybe it is being used in an unusual way from the rest of the OT. However, it is used over 30 times in Daniel alone and none of those uses support the idea of 'amad' meaning to 'leave' or 'stop restraing'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

4 | Does the OT talk about resurrection? | Matt 22:30 | CDBJ | 17623 | ||
You don't need to know Heb. to understand what is going to happen. I think you missed what was being said. The word amad could mean anything, it doesn't matter, it still wouldn't change anything even if he stood on his head. The facts is that what ever he did, after what ever he did there would come a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. Christ said the same thing in Matt. 24:21. Maybe when Michael stood up, and the timing would be right, he went to the war that was taking place in heaven mentioned in Rev. 12:7, because what happens in the rest of Rev. 12:7-17 gives ref. to the same time of trouble that will take place in the World.

5 | Does the OT talk about resurrection? | Matt 22:30 | Morant61 | 17645 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! I've heard of angels dancing on the head of a pin, but I've never heard of one standing on his head! :-) I do understand what you are trying to say. I'm just not convinced that we can tie Dan. 12:1 and 2 Thess. 2:7 together as being a reference to the same person. As far as the timing is concerned, there are alot of events that will occur at about that time as well, so I'm not real surprised about the timing. I do think you are right about Dan. 12:1 and Rev. 12. They do seem to fit together! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
