As they say there are 70 times 70 times 70 ways to interpret the Bible and all of them are wrong, because the Bible is wrong.

When you start saying that weeks means weeks of seven years “the seventy “weeks” of Daniel referred to as weeks of seven years and was speaking of seventy sevens or 490 years.” and flood is “figurative language”. Then I know that you aren’t taking the Bible literally and once you start taking the Bible metaphorically, it can mean anything to you that your little heart desires. Read my first paragraph again.

Nice try. Look up the verse in a concordance and you will see that the Hebrew word used means a period of seven (days or years). Jacob worked for Rachel for seven years and it is spoken of as him fulfilling her "week". The same with using a word like "flood" to describe something sudden or as an overflowing army as in Daniel 11:22. Serious students of the Bible understand such things as ancient languages and how they are translated into other languages. Even the modern English language uses figurative phrases and words. "Dumb as a box of rocks", comes to mind. :o)
