Sabbath response: I grew up in a Sunday worship Church but recently I was challeged on what day is the weekly day God made Holy and Sactified for rest and worship of God our creator. I fimly believe, after two years searching for the truth, that Saturday from sun down to sundown is the true Sabbath of the 4th commandment. There is historical that the changing of the worship day is a fulfillment of Daniel 7:25. Look forward to comments, Merv |

Merv, "There is historical that the changing of the worship day is a fulfillment of Daniel 7:25." Here is Daniel 7:7,8, 25 "After this, in the visions of the night I saw the fourth beast, different from all the others, terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength; it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed, and what was left it trampled with its feet. "I was considering the ten horns it had, when suddenly another, a little horn, sprang out of their midst, and three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it. This horn had eyes like a man, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly. ... "He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. " Here is an alternative explanation: "Alexander's empire was different from all the others in that it was Western rather than Oriental in inspiration. The ten horns represent the kings of the Seleucid dynasty, the only part of the Hellenistic empire that concerned the author. The little horn is Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175-163 B.C.), the worst of the Seleucid kings, who usurped the throne." "The reference is to the persecutions of Antiochus IV and his attempt to force the Jews to give up their customs and to adopt Hellenistic ways (1 Maccabees 1:33-34) A year, two years, and a half-year: an indefinite, evil period of time. As seven is the Jewish "perfect" number, half of it signifies great imperfection. Actually, this corresponds fairly accurately to the duration of Antiochus' persecution." NAB footnotes on Daniel 7:7,8,25. Read about the persecution of Antiochus IV here: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/1maccabees/1maccabees1.htm#v33 Emmaus |

Hi Emmas: Thanks for the reply. I see you have found by poor sentence structure. I see you have a good grasp of scripture. I see that you are Catholic. I hjope you do not take personal offence to may comments on the early Roman Catholic Church. I see you propose an alternative interpretation to Daniel. I look forward to our discussion. From the research I have done over the past two years it seems quite evident that the persecuting power of Daniel 7:25 is the Roman Catholic Church system. In my research, I have found statements from Catholic Popes, priests and scholars that they take responsibility for the change of the Sabbath from 7th day to 1st day. I have even read statements from Catholics who ridicule the protestants for not reforming the Sabbath since the change came only by their divine change since there is no scriptural evidence in the bible of a change. I believe the 4th beast you quoted is the Roman empire and the persecuting power which has power is the Roman Catholic Church. The power went from the emperors to the Popes. In Daniel 11:6, I believe the king's daughter of he south is Berenice daughter of Ptolemy, King of Egypt. Antiochus Theos, King of Syria put away his wife, Laodice, and her two sons, declaring them to be illegitimate. Antiochus dismissed his wife Laodice, according to the treaty, and went to receive his future bride. Ptolemy carried his daughter to Pelusium, put her on board his fleet, ans sailed with her to Selucia, a sea-port town near the mouth of the River Orantes, in Syri; where, having met Antichos, he delivered his daughter to him with immense dowry, so that Ptolemy received the appellation of "the dowry giver." The peace was ratified. I do not know if this is the same Antichus you were referring to but I thought this might be interesting for you. Look forward to your comments, Merv |
