I have read your post #302, but I don't see anything in Daniel that reveals that the nation of Israel shall be fully restored.I have no idea what you are trying to say here. As I mentioned about a million times, the 4 verses in Chapter 9 speak of the full restoration after Babylon and the complete destruction after the cross.....
I would ask you to look in the verses in both chapters 7 and 8 that describe the characteristics / attributes / actions, etc.. (quite clear) that the little horn of Daniel 7 and 8 will do against God, His people, His church, His saints, etc. This is the one that is clearly coming out of the 4th kingdom of pagan Rome and is also the same one that is referred to as "exceedingly great" in chapter 8.
The picture of restoration is much greater than Israel, and it is NOW a glorious opportunity for everyone, for there is now "no difference between Jew or Gentile", in this present Age of God's Grace.
Jesus who is Eternal, before the world was, came here in mortal flesh, and left this world in Immortality, having Eternal Life. He Himself IS the First resurrection, and we all, who are "born again" of God's Holy Spirit, are made to be "partakers of the divine nature".
Now, according to John 2:18-22, by the counsel of Paul in 1 Cor. 2:13, about "comparing spiritual things with spiritual", you might perceive and understand what temple it actually was, that was truly restored back to God by Jesus' sacrifice. By God's Grace, through faith in Jesus, all of such are the inheritors of His Glorious Son's likeness, a NEW creature [creation].
