I must have it wrong then. I am not a biblical scholar nor do I play one on TV. Lets go with the last two chapters of Daniel. Does that work for everyone? KEK

King James, New King James and the NASB versions all end at Daniel chapter 12. The DRA which was mentioned by mo is (DOUAY-RHEIMS 1899 AMERICAN EDITION) a translation of the Latin Vulgate by catholic scholars. The versions I mentioned are all translations of Greek texts.

Arguments about version aside, the entire book of Daniel is filled with prophecies concerning the end times. Especially the 70 weeks prophecy contained in chapter 9. It is important to note that when the Word of the Lord comes to Daniel it is addressed to his people (i.e. Jews). The prophecies are not general for all nations but specifically for Israel. However they concern the end times and so are of interest and applicable to everyone.

The 70 weeks prophecy in chapter 9 can be used in conjunction with Revelation to help understand it. so your SIL is very correct. Maybe not about chapter numbers, but correct nonetheless.

Thank you! Now that makes sense. She and I are from very different Christian traditions, but at core we believe the same things. Now I see what she was trying to tell me.
