The Prophecy of the 70 weeks of Daniel

Well first off Daniel was a very special human being.Second any man that can lay down in a den of hungry lions, use their body heat to keep himself warm and get a good nights sleep has got special connections.So the answer is simple somebody or somebeing that knew exactly what was going to happen and when told him in some form.The odds of him guessing the number of days would be in the neighborhood of 10¹²⁰.God Bless and welcome to EvC,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

You seem to be looking for the foretelling of a future event that is yet to take place that is stated in the Bible.I would like to point out a couple. If you never die this one is incorrect.
If one day you stand before Jesus in judgment it is true, and you will remember this post at that time. Peter said the universe was going to melt.
This was predicted over 2k years ago and today we have many scientist that believe that is going to happen. Many don't they think it is going to just run out of energy and get cold.If the universe doesn't melt then Peter was wrong.There is one problem with this prophesy, you and I probably won't be on earth to see if it comes true or not.And there will be plenty trying to explain it away as it happens.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Jesus made the following prediction 39 years before the fact.
Matthew recorded it for our benefit. History records that this event took place in 70 AD. Jeremiah prophesies that Israel will be scattered and many would die.
Millions of Israelites have died in Germany and other countries. Jeremiah prophesied God would bring the children of Jacob back home.For 2000 years they had no home until 1947.Today they exist in their own country.Now if you can't be satisfied with predictions like these you will just have to wait around and see if mine comes true.I could go out on a limb and predict that in the future we will have a worldwide government. The man that is in charge will make a treaty with Israel and those who want to destroy Israel. The Temple will be rebuilt and Temple Worship restored. After a while He will stand in the Temple and declare himself to be God and that the world must worship him. From Matthew chapter 24.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Jeremiah prophesied God would bring the children of Jacob back home.
I don't find anything about a king could you point it out in the passage above.If you will read the passage real close you will not see where it says how God will bring them back just that He will. They are there Israel is a nation. God's prophesy delivered by Jeremiah is fulfilled. Whether you like it or not.They will have a King a short time after the world leader I prophesied about stands in the Temple and declares himself to be God and must be worshiped. The king's name is Jesus. Make a note so if you are around you will remember this prophesy. Could you point me to the book with the story about Matthew's resurrection. Since he died in 60 AD and would have had to come back to life to write it after the fact.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

I can understand why you would not make such notes.But why do you conclude from your prospective what someone else would do.I have folks in my congregation that never take notes.I have several if I wanted to know what I preached on at any service since I became pastor of the congregation could take their notes and tell you what I preached. If I misstated something the question they asked and how I answered it.So don't compare what others may or may not do to what you think they would or would not do.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

I can tell you it was written before Matthews death but you have made up your mind by reading what Atheist and so-called christian's have said about it. So there is no point.Irenaeus, quoted Papias, a follower of John and a companion of Polycarp as quoted by Eusebius. So Papias existed.He said Matthew was written in Hebrew. This dates to 60 AD.Irenaeus (130-200) (Adv. Haer. 3.1.1; also quoted by Eusebius, H.E. 5.8.2): said Matthew brought forth a written gospel in Hebrew while Peter and Paul were preaching in Rome.That would put it prior to 60 AD.Origen (185-254) (as quoted by Eusebius, H.E. 6. 25.3-4) , said Matthew a former tax collector and apostle of Jesus wrote Matthew in Hebrew (Aramaic).Now just brush all that aside and say it is just christian tradition if you want.God Bless,

Lets see those modern educated very biased scholar's you are talking about is 2,000 years removed from the facts.Just who was those true believer folks trying to impress?They were looking for Jesus to come back any day.Many pooled everything they had so that everybody could have what they needed. Yes they really expected you and I to be here arguing about who wrote what when.God Bless,God Bless,

So you dispute:

If Matthew wrote in Hebrew or Armaiac to the audience that Matthew is directed at which is the Jews. Why is it impossible that James, who some credit with translating it into Greek or some other person such as Luke translate if for the early Gentile Church?But as far as the unbeliever is concerned nothing can be correct about the entire Bible. If it is then that would mean that more of it could be true and then everybody would be subject to the God of the Bible.So that is fine you have your belief's and opinion's I have mine.
Eternity will be determined by those belief's.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

I know there are those that hold that belief and I also know there are those that believe it was translated from Hebrew or Aramaic. What does that prove? Only that different people have different opinions. You mean to tell me science can assume a smear, a pea sized universe that our universe came from existed in an absence of No Thing.This is a fact we know it is, we are here.But I should not assume that a book that was said to be written by a particular person which was quoted by others is what I have today.I have the book also. Somebody might have edited the book after 70 AD but what difference does that make as to what Matthew prophesied? You do have good evidence, you just don't accept it.Let's put it this way there is a lot more evidence for the book of Matthew to have been written by the apostle Matthew than there is for that point the universe is supposed to have came from.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Since you have compared the two documents I would like to know where I could find the one mentioned by Iranaeous.But then you are only disputing the idea. That way no research, no comparison no nothing just your opinion.Thanks for your opinion,God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Yes they really needed to have something to shore up their faith because they had sold everything they had and put it in a pile for everyone to share.The church history you are talking about is the RC Church. Hunt up the church history of all those that the RCC was burning at the stake for heresies if you want true church history.Concerning the Scholars, "Why would they be biased?" .The only unbiased person is dead or comatose.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

The document Iranaeous quoted does not exist today.But Paulk had come to his conclusions because the content of the two did not match therefore he must have found a copy somewhere. God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

They were protecting the gospel they wanted the world to have according to their dogma. They were not pleased at all when the first Bible was printed. People could read it and make up their own mind. Just like you made up yours.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Total Jewish population worldwide as of 2006 12,831,200 of which
5,499,000 was in Israel.I take that to mean you are a Jew. Since they are the only ones that prophesy pertains too.But could you point out where He said every Jew would returned.
Jeremiah said: "a great company shall return thither."
At Israel's 60th Independence day the Jewish population of Israel was 5,499,000. Sounds like a pretty good company to me.
1.4 million of the 3 million Jewish people who have immigrated to Israel since 1948 came from Russia and surrounding countries. He did say they would come from the North country.Lets examine what we got.
Prior to 1947 Israel did not exist as a country.
Israel is a country today and has been since 1947.
Over a million Jews returned from the North country.
A total of 3 million Jews have immigrated to Israel since 1948.The prophesy was.
I will bring them from the north country. He did.
and gather them from the coasts of the earth, He did.
a great company shall return thither. Over 3 million a great company did.The evidence says the prophesy has been fulfilled.God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Lets look at the internal evidence.What audience was the book of Matthew trying to reach?
If we know that it should help us to understand a little better.The first 23 verses of Matthew deal with the generation of Jesus Christ.Generations are very important to the Jews.There are 77 prophesies in Matthew of which only 2 is mentioned in Luke, concerning the Messiah. The other 75 are not mentioned in any other book.Much of the teaching in Matthew is unique to the gospel of Matthew.Matt 5:17-20: Sayings relating to Jesus' view of the Law in relation to the Kingdom of Heaven
Matt 5:33-37: Jesus' teaching about the taking of oaths
Matt 6:1-4: Jesus' teaching about almsgiving
Matt 6:16-18: Jesus' teaching about fasting
Matt 22:1-14: Jesus' parable speaking to Israel's status upon its rejection of Jesus
Matt 23: An extended version of Jesus' evaluation of the Pharisees.These were teachings for the Jewish people the people of promise.All these things are important to Jews but most have little or no meaning to a gentile. So the author of Matthew was aiming his book at a Hebrew audience.Most of the Hebrews in and around Jerusalem at this time spoke Aramaic.
So why would the book be wrote in another language?The author of Matthew was very interested in the fulfillment of prophecy concerning Messiah.
Only a Jewish audience would be interested in that.Only the book of Matthew refers to Matthew the tax collector.
What type of a man would have access to the records needed to put down the genealogy of Christ? How about a tax collector that had the records. Who would have had access to the old scriptures to bring forth the prophecies.Probably somebody who copied it from Mark but wait a minute those prophesies and those unique teaching's above are not in Mark.God Bless,
