Allen, I got this one and the original - no problem. Allen Daves <allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: The last two were the same Martin Did you get this one..? Here are the attachments I forgot to send ....they are web pages i wrote not finished but usable correlations and relationships............... 1. Yes, now I think we are getting somewhere....You made a valid point and although I was not giving it a lot of consideration I was not doing so because it had no bearing on the issue before us... .. I thought we were arguing the Persian kings chronologies and dates and how those relate to 70 weeks and how that relates to 666..When you kept referencing the dates for the chapters I could not make sense of your comments that?s why I kept after you to concede. If your argument was based on the dates for the chapters, then there was/is no argument to make.......nor would it affect any of my arguments......In any case, thank you for pointing that out ....However, lets continue with the preeminent issues, Persian kings Chrono, the 70 weeks and 666 years or 666th year... 2. And as for the can of worms, I wrote my comments here so as to tie that and many other things together. Although they are not it is not dependent on each other they are worth consideration. I do not want to entirely detract from the whole 70 weeks and 666 thing which is the (666 thread)/my primary focus...see my comments below on the "can-o-worms" In the mean time, we've opened another can of worms: the identity of the visually stunning individual at Dan. 10:4-8, and whether that is Jesus or an angel (the angel of v. 9ff). I've already pointed out that a minority of commentators agree with you (Young, Keil, Henry, etc.), and being in the minority doesn't mean they (or you) are wrong. But none of these scholars calls the majority view "nonsense," for they realize that their own hypothesis is hardly free of problems. So, while I have respect for their scholarship (meaning I won't label the Jesus hypothesis "nonsense"), it's important not to sweep its problems under the rug. Responsible scholarship proceeds by acknowledging problems and working out tenable solutions, not labeling the opposing view "nonsense." None of the scholars who agrees with you as to the being's identity think that this is a vision of the future: it was Jesus as he was in His glory on 24 Nisan, 3rd year of Cyrus. They believe the message concerning things to come follows once Daniel is prepared to hear it, which is more than a dozen verses later in the narrative. The Key to understanding is the "certain man" & the "Voice of many waters" and the other parallels to Christ found in Revelation............... it has everything to do with the narration of ch's 11&12 which themselves are related to ch8 and the time of trouble such as never was....Ch 10 again.... 10:5. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: 6. His body also was like the Beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude..........8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. 9. Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. It does not record those words spoken by the man in the vison JESUS..Daniel fell asleep..... It only records what took place latter, the interpretation of the dream by the angel who had the appearance of a man but not a man...the Vison is of a "CERTAIN MAN" 10. And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. ..................it does not say the hand of the one who?s voice I heard in the vison...In the vison Daniel fell asleep when he heard the voice of the vison that had the sound of many waters. 10:18. Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, It does not say the appearance of the "certain man" described in v5-7.........Again the Angel has the "appearance of a man" but the vison was specific to a "CERTAIN MAN" . The Certain Man is Jesus who came in the latter days to which the following chapters 11& 12 are also in referenced to his days....The whole vison is verse 5-7 v9 is narration of what took place next and 10 is where next the angel ( one that had the appearance of a man) even comes into this narrative. This man Jesus is describe here as someone coming in the latter days and revelation describes that same Certain man who is...JESUS not any angel past or present. The problem is also most folk don?t understand the significance of having the voice of many waters ..it makes no sense for an angel to even use that kind of voice, It can only refer to Jesus! Daniel 10:5. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: 6. His body also was like the Beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude..........8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. 9. Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. Revelation 1:11. Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15. And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. Revelation 2:18. And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; Revelation 14:1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: Revelation 19:5. And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. The significance of the voice with the sound of many waters is the waters are the many different peoples of God that is why Christ has the sound of many waters we are the many waters, The Body of Christ!?.The harlot too sits on many waters which is also many different peoples we are distinguished by Head of Jesus Christ??.The Church is the Body of Christ Where Christ is the head but the head of the beast was Babylon?Where Mystery Babylon is distinguished by its Head ?.the feet Rome always are called by the name of the Head they are attached to. BABYLON "let him who hath understanding count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man and is number is 666". That is why the Certain man in Daniel ch10 has the voice of many waters that is the significance to Ch 10-12 and at that time a time of trouble such as never was Jesus points that out It is Jesus that is Pouring out the desolation in ch9 via the Golden cup (see Attached zip Golden Cup of ) of wrath the harlot sits on many waters Revelation 17: 1. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:?.. 4. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5.And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.?? Jeremiah 51:7. Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 8. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. Revelation 14:8. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. The whole point to referring to Babylon it was not destroyed back in the day!???? Jeremiah is a prophecy about the spiritual city of blood (see attached zip City of Blood)not just a Physical kingdom of his day ..contrasted with the City New Jerusalem which is a spiritual city not a physical one???.. Revelation 19:7. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready?. 12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.. Revelation 21:2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 9. And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, The correlations found in scripture define scripture not men?s ill conceived lack of discernment. ....Like most things folk have it all backwards. The book of Daniel does not supercede Revelation, it is Jesus & in his Revelation that expounds upon Daniel and the rest of the OT... Never mind any notions about relating the Angel in Daniel to Jesus, Worse, it is Jesus they are attempting to ascribe to as an Angel..!?. --------------------------------- Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.
