Yes, that’s the point John Paul Jones - and I think, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve overtly stepped over a few steps in your posts. Again, and I’ll repeat, considering that there were at least two people who picked up on the country, religion or church - that had been insinuated here, it wasn’t Germany. Next time, when you reply - make sure that it’s because of your religious background that your defending.
Re: Book of DanielThe wonder of the season is the fulfillment of Prophecy that has happened and not ongoing.

Coptic Christian: (Catholic) I usually don’t like it, and I don’t think anyone would, to be returned a post like this one after replying back to some of your questionable posts - especially when the bottom line to every post that I wrote, and even giving scriptural points to it and with the nicer reply back, was with the “Idea” that it would be pretty difficult - to understand who these nations are:
The answer was given several posts - away, however, dragging this into the mud wasn’t/ and shouldn’t be listed nor addressed personally to me, John Paul Jones. And another thing, have you ever heard of the last name of Snyder: German heritage but with a nice French - background (Leisure - in marriage), I call that pretty Huguenot, with 13 kids in the family. The family is on my dad’s mother side - I found a very beautiful picture of my gr-grandmother on her wedding day (the daughter) - with her husband, Arthur, from Edinburgh, Scotland.
I usually like my kolanche made from German sweet bread, and love (love) my German white wine - at Christmas, there is a Czech Christmas Hoska that I buy from Gerta’s but you have to get up early (early) in the morning before everyone gets their, or your out of luck. I like to eat (when I can) at Old Vienna - and the chef is in the back of the kitchen cooking breaded dumplings…the restaurant is set up as if you just stepped into old Europe.
Also, Pope Benedict - happens to be my favorite pope, although I understand he will be retiring - from what I understand. According to Italian daily newspaper “Libero”, Pope Benedict XVI is thinking about leaving the papacy next April, when he will turn 85

There is one front page news story that will certainly not go unnoticed: that is, that the Pope is thinking about resigning during the Spring of 2012. Journalist Antonio Socci has confirmed the same in the Italian daily, Libero.
You appear to be frustrated. Trying to study and explain Prophecy can do that.
Better frustrated - than to Appear to be totally confused, and totally lost in the conversation? Appear?You appear to be frustrated. Trying to study and explain Prophecy can do that.
Did you enunciate each syllable of each word? - I’ll repeat the LLastttt poooost fooor youuuu, oookkkk?IIIIIssss thaaatt beeettteerrr fooorrr youuu? I don’t think its a frustration with scripture or the study of scripture. Also, Christians shouldn’t have to be made to be frustrated with God’s word. Wow, how very sad! Also,I never explained the passage, may be you need your glasses checked/or hearing - as the post didn’t appear well with you.
The 7’s as you know are a Covenant formula. To seven oneself is to declare an oath. The Jews were to be punished for their disobedience and after 70 years they were sent into slavery another 7 x 70. Daniel as you know converted Nebuachadezner, something that the Kingodom of David could not do. He did it without armies and that is the precursor of the Kingdom, conversion without armies. A Kingdom of priests. There will be no third temple as there is no ark. You know that the temple of Solomon had no ark.Better frustrated - than to Appear to be totally confused, and totally lost in the conversation? Appear?

Psalm 34:9 “ta‘amu u-re’u ki tov Hashem, taste and see that God is good.” Ta’am - Taste, flavor; good taste, “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.” and “ta’am” can also mean: “taste” or “sense”… John 6:31-33,“For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”…the taste is not of bitterness, maybe perhaps our sins are the bitterness and the honey is the redemption - as the forgiveness of God is sweet. As in God’s Mercy and Compassion is Good to the Taste!
Unfortunately, there are some within the same faith who “think” that they cause people to become frustrated and give up, and I wasn’t hoping to see this on a religious posting thread.
The Ramban tells us that the two Tochachas are reflective of the two destructions that befell the Jewish nation. The Tochacha in Vayikra (Bechukosai) foretells** the destruction of the First Temple**; the Tochacha in Devorim (here in Ki Savo) foretells the destruction of the Second Temple. The destruction of the First Temple came with a pre-determined, pre-announced limit: seventy years you will be in Exile, and then the Exile will be over. There was some ambiguity as to when the counting of the 70 years began, but they knew without a doubt that the Exile had a finite end point.
All within Daniel:
And then G-d promises us that He will live with us: “And I will place my Mishkan in your midst…” [Vayikra 26:11] (This is a blessing, that unfortunately, after 2000 years of not having a Beis HaMikdash, we cannot even contemplate; but it is a tremendous blessing to be able to feel G-d’s holiness in our midst.) But that same verse which begins by speaking of G-d placing His Mishkan in our midst ends with the words “…and I will not detest you” (v’lo sig-al nafshi eschem).
“Read” - Daniel 9:24-26
Then Peter approaching asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times which is inspired on Genesis 4:24 and Seventy-seven times, the Greek corresponds exactly to the LXX or Genesis 14:15 Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over.” The comparative to the wording in other verses, Seven seventies = seventy sevens.
which is a theme of this NT! The 77 Generations from Adam to Jesus mentioned by Luke seem to hint at this!
True - as I’ve read it. However, all relates to the sin of spies and the wondering in the desert, for additional 40 years (Numbers 24) According to midrash, since the Sin of the Spies occurred on the Ninth of Av, the LORD decreed it to be a day of judgment and mourning for all Israel. All these events are said to have occurred on Tishah B’Av: The destruction of the First Temple (Babylonians, 586 B.C.) The destruction of the Second Temple (Romans, 70 A.D.) since the coming out of Egypt: thence to their entering Canaan forty years, thence seven years to the dividing of the land, thence seven Jubilees to the first year of Samuel, in whom prophecy began, thence to this first year of the captivity seven seventies of years, 490 (ten Jubilees), thence to the return one seventy, thence to the death of Christ seven seventies more, thence to the destruction of Jerusalem forty years.The 7’s as you know are a Covenant formula. To seven oneself is to declare an oath. The Jews were to be punished for their disobedience and after 70 years they were sent into slavery another 7 x 70. Daniel as you know converted Nebuachadezner, something that the Kingodom of David could not do. He did it without armies and that is the precursor of the Kingdom, conversion without armies.

Jesus is the temple. The temple was a minature prototype of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God, Jesus are here. The Kingdom is here. The Ark of the Covenant was seen in heaven in the temple…The temple was never meant to be earthly, rather heavenly and earthly…any attempt to rebuild a temple on earth denies the Kingdom, Jesus, and the Our Father…thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, here as it is in heaven. The Jews of today even if they rebuilt a temple have no priesthood, no ark, no abillity to sacrifice. The Levites are gone. There will be no effective temple just an effort to deny what God has done if done.
Perfectly understandable, Coptic Christian. As Paul notes in Hebrews - and it’s one of many favorite verses that I like to re-read, over.Jesus is the temple. The temple was a minature prototype of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God, Jesus are here. The Kingdom is here. The Ark of the Covenant was seen in heaven in the temple…The temple was never meant to be earthly, rather heavenly and earthly…any attempt to rebuild a temple on earth denies the Kingdom, Jesus, and the Our Father…thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, here as it is in heaven. The Jews of today even if they rebuilt a temple have no priesthood, no ark, no abillity to sacrifice. The Levites are gone.

Amen.
