1 | How can we know the saints are only Jews | Dan 7:25 | Emmaus | 70577 | ||
Chusarcik, To get some NT context look at Matt 24:29-31 and Acts 7:54-56. Here is a section from a commentary on Daniel by William Most. "Verses 13-18 include the famous vision of one like a son of man, who receives from the Ancient of Days dominion, glory and kingship that will never be taken away forever. Commentators like to make this individual son of man just the "holy ones of the most high." But this is unrealistic, the Jewish people never did get such a kingship, one that will last forever. Nor would Jewish thought suppose a headless kingdom. However if the figure is the Messiah, then we do have a rational explanation. In Hebrew thought we often meet an individual who stands for and as it were embodies a collectivity. Jesus often used the phrase Son of Man to refer to Himself. This was part of His deliberately gradual self-revelation." Emmaus |

Emmaus, Thanks for your response. I read the commentary and the verses you suggested concerning the end times. Did you suggest these to say you think the saints in Daniel 7:23 are saved people in general? Just making sure I'm following your train of thought here. Chusarcik |

Chusarcik, I believe that prophetic passages can have polyvalent meanings that may apply to more than one kind or period of fulfillment. The fourth beast seems to be the Selucid Kingdom, which persecuted the Jews and the Christians. This passage could be fulfilled in the persecution of the Jews by Antiochus IV, also the persecutions of Christians by Nero and other Emperors who demanded worship as well as in the coming tribulation. So, yes all the saved at one time or another, but especially at the Second Coming. See 1 Macabees 1 in Catholic and Greek Orthodox Bibles or your Apochrypha which describes the campaign of Antiochus Epiphanes IV. http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/1maccabees/1maccabees1.htm Emmaus |
