Bible Note: EdB, As I have told Reformer Joe, I'm really more interested in learning about the image in chapter 2. However, I couldn't sit idly by and let this response go uncontested. (I assume you're referring to chapter 9.) Daniel's 70 weeks is not a messianic prophecy. Notice that in verse 25 "the ruler" is the appositive for "the Anointed One", meaning they are the same person. In verse 26 we see that the people of the ruler (anointed one) will destroy the city. I hope this doesn't refer to Jesus! It seems clear to your humble amigo that the ruler is not the "good guy". That said, feel free to offer a rebuttal if you'd like. However, I probably won't reply, since, as I have already stated, I'm really only interested in discussing chapter 2. Daniel's 70 "sevens" is another debate, another day. ateo By the way, I checked that book out from the library, so no money wasted! :-) However, I should say that it's an excellent read, and you should give it a try. |
