LOL. Nope. Just trying to harmonize Daniel 11/12 to the Great Day of the Lord in the Bible and book of revelation brother. Wanna help?Quahom1 said:It is an opinion. It is like the anus of each human. We all have one, and sometimes, they stink. What comes out of them, isn't clean.
Or like Brucedc says in the computer world, garbage in, garbage out.
This is subjective speculation...are you actually leaning towards this view InChrist?

Ezekiel 39: 'Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field: "Assemble yourselves and come; Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel, That you may eat flesh and drink blood.[Revelation 19/20]
[size=+2]Zeph 1:7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD; For the day of the LORD [is] at hand, For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests. 8 "And it shall be, In the day of the LORD's sacrifice, That I will punish the princes and the king's [OC High Priest?] children, And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. [/size]
http://www.awitness.org/lostmess/daniel.htmlRevelation 8:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
All this is rather 'jarring' to read, and does leave a person scratching their heads, wondering what is wrong with this picture. A doctrine of the 'revived Roman empire' was then concocted, and at the time this happens, the clock will start ticking again and that last bit of prophecy will finally be fulfilled. This might explain chapter nine, if you choose to accept such nimble interpretation, but another excuse would have to be cooked up for chapters 10 to 12, for it is self evident that in this source (written in the second century in response to Antiochus IV) the world did not end immediately after Antiochus despoiled Jerusalem and the temple, Michael was not outraged enough to promptly end the world. This 'clock' must have 'stopped ticking' as well, awaiting the awakening and the rise of the 'revived Selucid Greek empire' at which time it will finally be fulfilled. This would, of course, require ending the world twice (once to Revive the Romans and thus salvage chapter 9, and a second go at it to revive the Greeks and salvage chapter 12. Whether or not we can all tolerate suffering through two ends of the world is a good question, but this would be required to salvage the doctrine of 'Biblical inerrancy.'
Daniel 12:1 "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands [watch] over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, [Even] to that time. And at that time Your People shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.
