Re: Lo And Behold, The Sealed Book
Even IF the "sealed" book in Revelations is in reference to Daniel, you still have not addressed the point I made which is that John the Revelator had available to him the Book of Daniel.
As a relevant aside, I seem to remember reading that Daniel was included into the Jewish canon around the same time Revelations was written. Does anyone know if that is true?
If John wanted to be harmonious with Daniel, which it does seem like he was trying to do, there is nothing supernatural about the fact that he could simply READ Daniel and reference elements in it properly for his own Apocalypse which also has a valid preterist interpretation IMO.

Re: Cohesive prophecy
do you know anything about the chronology of the bible and how the events are timed? Can you give me an example of the chonology that you dont agree with?
Sure. The creation event.
the bible is not meant to be easy to understand...
That goes against everything I have ever been told by people preaching to me. The Bible is supposed to be God's instructions for the common man. Or not so it seems....
even Daniel who wrote the prophecy openly admitted that he did not understand it. The reason for this is because man does not see things the way that God sees them. To understand it, you have to think like God. We think in physical terms...this is why bible writers often wrote in terms of physical things as a way to aid understanding. However, some things were obviously written in such a way that even the writer did not understand it.
Okay, then what makes your way the right way then? Why are the people who taught you not just as confused as Daniel? That is essentially what this thread is asking.
