Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: 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 |
