Greetings in Christ JESUS
Uncle_Sol,
A time, two times and half a time almost certainly doesn't mean three and a half (or seven) years;
According to the Word of GOD, a time
(one year), and two times and half(
two years and half), mean three years and half, or 42 months, or 1260 days. Daniel 12:7-> 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven and sware by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the POWER OF THE HOLY PEOPLE ->(1Peter 2:5-10 combined with 1:v.1-20, take a look), all these things shall be finished.
Daniel 12:10-13
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
and the OT prefigures Christ a great deal; but it's not honest to couple so many issues to some alternative numerology instead. What happened to agnosticism?
Yes, in the case of this topic,
Daniel 9:26 refers or prefigures Christ, as follow:
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off
(crucified), but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come
(the esoteric and kabbalistic false messiah-John 5:43-47 combined with Revelation 13:11 and Ezekiel 21:25) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary
(spiritually called Sodom and Egypt-Revelation 11:7-8); and the end thereof shall be with a flood,
and unto the END of the WAR desolations are determined
(Revelation 12:7-13).
Why do you think Jesus ascended? To liven up a Thursday that they didn't have much pencilled in?
Acts 1:8-11, reveals:
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And when JESUS had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up;
and a CLOUD received Him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as JESUS went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same JESUS, which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come IN LIKE MANNER(1Thessalonians 4:16-17, the same CLOUD) as ye have seen Him go into heaven.
Acts 3:17-24
17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
May our Lord GOD bless us and keep us, and give us His protection
Amen
