Bible Note: TommyS, sorry it took so long to get back you. Our "phones" have been acting up again. The huge holes in the erroneous concept never showed up until a few hundred years ago. Darby and Scofield’s words are taking as “inspired” (well, in one way that is correct – they were inspired – by a woman in the early 1800s). Since then, and only since then, has the fulfillment of Matthew, Mark and Luke’s words, on the end of the Old and the coming of the New Testament, changed from PAST to FUTURE. Allow me to quote a sample from of one from a multitude of “pre-Darby, Scofield” resources: Adam Clarke Commentary on the Old Testament begins Daniel 9 with this paragraph. “Daniel, understanding from the prophecies of Jeremiah that the seventy years’ captivity was now terminating, pours out his soul in fervent prayer to God, and earnestly supplicates pardon and restoration for his captive people, vv. 1-12. When thus supplicating God in behalf of Israel, the angel Gabriel is sent to inform him of the seventy prophetic weeks, or four hundred and ninety natural years, which should elapse from the date of the edict to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple to the death of the Messiah, vv. 20-27; a prophecy most exactly fulfilled by the event, according to the computation of the best chronologers. Dean Prideaux states the commencement of these seventy prophetic weeks to have been in the month Nisan, in the year of the Julian period 4256, which corresponds with A.M. 3546, B.C. 458, according to the Usherian account. How awfully are the Jews blinded, who, in contradiction to so clear a prophecy, still expect the Messiah who was cut off, and, after suffering, is entered into his glory!” TommyS, IF possible, get your hands on this commentary and check out how the math, supported by Scripture, takes you from Daniel’s words right to their finality EXACTLY as Jesus said it would happen. It is exciting to follow through - especially with the understanding of HOW the final conclusion is explained. If you don’t have one, or can’t afford one, check out some websites under “Bible Study Aids”. Locate AND commentary (as long as it predates the mid-1800) look up Matthew 24:14 and THEY WIILL ALL SAY EXACLT THE SAME TRUTH. I have yet to locate any works that don’t agree – INCLUDING MANY JEWISH ones. TommyS – don’t make the mistake so many others make. Jesus OFTEN spoke allegorically, as much of the prophets of old had done. The “Jews” understood that “kind of speech” then, and they still use that kind of speech today – As do many of us. :) Happy “Studying”, Taleb |
