Sure. I like to use a picture when starting a thread. Just right-click and save if you want to use any of my graphics.

Good question Covenantee! It may be worth comparing Johns introductory announcement with that of Jesus? John’s cry was, “the time is near,” differing slightly from Jesus’, “the appointed period of time is fulfilled (completed).” The difference is subtle, but significant. John was the preacher...

I’ve already said Jesus was speaking cryptically. Suffice it to say that Daniel’s prophecy was in mind.

Well, Saints Paul, Matthew, Luke, John, Peter and John the Baptist all refer to the start of Daniel’s seventieth week. As for a reference to the entirety of the seventy weeks, we can point to how Jesus alludes to the Seventy Weeks in cryptic language. The verse I am thinking of is when Peter...

@doughty and @Angelina Thank you for the good addition of smilies. However, the request of this thread was for a small choice of 'like' responses. For example 'agree.' They are similar to emojis inserted in ones own post, but different inasmuch as they sit at the base of another persons post...

Thanks for starting in such an open and friendly way. Not every Owner/Administrator does that. (Appreciation) Hoping that your advert policy isn't too intrusive. One of the reasons I joined here was fleeing a large Christian forum where they began to bomb us with ads. rane?

It’s good to know that historians support the 457 BC date. And yes, 408 BC ended the first set of 7 weeks (49 years after that) I can’t fit it in the diagram, but thanks for that.

But you have the 62 set of weeks (434 years) starting earlier than the 7 set? The 7 set (49 years) was mentioned first wasn’t it? There is a good case that New Testament writers mention Daniel’s 70 weeks indirectly, including Matthew, and including Jesus himself.

Here is my timeline and dates for Daniels 70-weeks prophecy. "Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city… Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and...

Yes. May I suggest 'like' , 'agree' , 'interesting' , 'useful' , 'friendly' , 'funny' , 'winner' , and 'prayers.'

Lol, is that why you’ve got your heavy armour on HiH?

Academia is great for academic papers. Not so good for a chat though. This forum looks looks friendly and laid back so I hope to get around and join in some of the discussions soon.

‘Bridge to Nowhere.’ Deep in the heart of the North Island, New Zealand, in dense native bush, lays a forgotten valley. Old fence lines on a fading road, a few stands of exotic trees, and the occasional brick chimney protruding through tangled undergrowth are all that remains of what once was...

Some years ago, I had the idea of writing 52 devotionals, poems, sermonettes, inspirational pictures etc. and publishing them under the name, ‘5 Loaves and 2 Fishes.’ Well, I never quite got that far, but here is a selection of five devotionals. Blessings. :)

Yeah, We were in Brisbane last month to see the grandy’s. Floods in Sydney. Not much better than NZ. I brought a pair of Ug boots at the airport.

Is this forum where we put poetry and devotionals?

Yikes!

Hi Brakelite. Yes, I remember. Great to catch up again. Are you in Aus now?

An hour south of Hamilton, not far from the blue springs.

Hi from sunny New Zealand in July. (not) Actually, its freezing. Where can I go to where the keyboard runs hot? 'need a warm up. :cool:
