Studying the propheys Ping!
bttt
Oddly enough, most "fundamentalist preachers" don't teach this, either.
It is unsurprising that a Catholic writer would deny the authenticity of the Bible. The Book of Daniel, for example, was written by Daniel during the Babylonian exile if one believes the scripture. Instead, it lists it as being written after Alexander, most probably since Daniel predicted the rise of Alexander and the splitting of his kingdom into 4.
Prophecy is indeed any message from God, but God gave to men also expectations of the future, of which Daniel’s 70 weeks was one of the greatest and most exact. Jesus also predicted the fall of Jerusalem, which would not happen until 70ad.
I did not read the whole thing because it is too long but was the telling of Jerusalem being restored in the latter days for the people back then?
We saw it happen, and even those people who don,t from nothing about the scriptures can see it.
And also
Daniel 12
1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
This world has seen at least 95 percent of the increase of knowledge in our life time.
People of my age saw their dads or even older brothers walking behind horses or mules and some even did it them selves.
The famous movie stars were getting from the pacific to the Atlantic on coal powered trains or in the old cars, an old hotel in Gallup new Mexico well knew most of the stars because they had to make two or three stops en route.
Only the better off people had electricity and running water in the west even in the 1940s
No tv until 1948 or 49 and that was just for a few and commercial airlines a little later.
I believe Danial was talking about the times we live in.
They were challenging people of their own world, especially their political rulers, to remain faithful to God's commandments and/or to repent and turn back to God if they had strayed.
The folks I normally read and listen to are apt to point to the prophet's role as covenant messenger, pressing the suit of the great king (God himself, in this case) against his errant vassal people.
When you post at times I believe we have real hard core masons responding at times.

Heaven forfend if prophetic warnings of future events in the Bible itself are taken literally as (gasp!) prophetic warnings of future events.
We apparently are to instead look to odd, modern era “spiritual” emanations such as Fatima regarding future events, since these things ever so much more credible than the Bible.
Then Christ quotes Isaiah 13:10 in verse 24, But in those days *after* that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Then Christ quotes Isaiah 34:4, then Daniel 7:13, etc....,
The Gospel includes those as Peter called ‘holy prophets’. Silly men/women snip and clip scriptures much like the scientific community devised their so called scientific methodology. And the longer I live the more I have observed the conjoining of religion of men in the same methodology some call science.
I think the author has called Christ Himself a fundie.
"The books they wrote do not contain hidden coded messages for people living in the 20th or 21st centuries!"
Really! Mr Author!
Daniel 12
12:9 "And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time.
12:10 Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand.
12:11 And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days.
12:12 Blessed is he that waitedth, and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
12:13 But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days."
I do not know about his specifics but nobody will truly understand until the end of days. We are near and dear very close. These passages and others like it it make more sense now than ever.
Especially in the book of Revelation a hundred million plus man army from the east will be a major event.
Right now we have 90,000 Chinese army and Russian army in Middle east.
I believe it is no coincede that China is called the Dragon which is in Revelation book. It is steeped in there culture.
I think I’ll pass on receiving Biblical instruction from any member of a religion that does not acknowledge that all Scripture is God breathed, but rather places more emphasis on it’s man-made traditions and rituals.
