My FRiends, Daniel was written by Israel for Israel. I suggest you learn who Israel is if you want the proper exegesis of Daniel.
Israel = heirs to the promise made to Abraham.
Galatians 3:29
and if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.
“and if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.”
Answer:
I couldn’t agree more. Thanks.
Galations 3 is a perfect example of Paul A) being ignorant of Jewish Law or B) Lost his mind.
He totally mischaracterizes Abraham in verse 6, totally inventing a new meaning of "And Abraham believed" and a hermeutical travesty concerning the meaning of "seed" and "cursed" .
Paul then dreams up the following lie.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
This is utter nonsense. "Kept under the law...being shut up to faith? Crazy...In order to serve G-d as he has asked us, we must believe and faith in the first place! For people to observe the law they are by definition are "of faith".
There is not one verse in all of Tanach (OT) that says the law will be a tutor to some new faith in a messiah. NOT ONE. On the contrary when the messianic era in discussed in the Tanach, it speaks of the Jewish people returning to the law, statutes and commands forever! And the gentiles will comes to learn of G-d and the law. (Isaiah 2:2, Jer 16:19-21)
Therefore Pauls contention that gentiles become heirs to the promise of Abraham through Jesus could not be more wrong!
