I guess I abbreviated excessively. In 9:26, Daniel says the tribes from which a future prince will appear, such tribes will destroy the city and the Temple. The destruction event was when an army of local tribes furnished by the local kings, under the Roman general Titus destroyed the city and the Temple in 70AD.

In 9:27, Daniel says the Prince who comes out of those tribes will make a covenant with the many, Daniel's people, Israel, which will have a seven year term and at the mid point of the term, the Prince will cause the sacrifices and obliations to cease.

The sacrifices were last conducted in the spring of 70AD before the destruction; therefore a prophecy that says that at some future date, the sacrifices will be interrupted, of necessity implies that the sacrifices will need to be reinitiated so that they can be then later interrupted.

The question then before the house, is what has to happen before the sacrifices can be restarted. One thing is probably the Red Heifer.

Must meet stringent requirements. Must be without blemish. Not one white hair. Etc. etc. VERY rare indeed.

The laws of the Parah Adumah (red heifer) are very complex. The ashes of the Parah Adumah are necessary to purify a person who has come into contact with the dead, and is therefore not allowed to enter the vicinity of the Mikdash (Temple precinct). Supposedly, a Parah Adumah is always available somewhere in the world since the Messiah can arrive at any time.

carpe, I suspect that if this is the "last days," you will be disappointed.

This is astounding, and they are right about it being very prophetic. I think, if I'm not mistaken, that a bovine is not considered Israeli stock until the 3rd or 5th generation. Is any poster up on this and if so is this calf that many generations in the land? And if so have they discovered or are they in possession of the ashes of the last red heifer that was sacrificed back in 70AD?

"No man knows the day or hour"

While I do agree with that statement - I believe Jesus was also specific about our being "alert, awake", etc. He told the fisherman they were able to tell how the weather would be by looking at the sky (red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky at dawning, sailor's take warning). Jesus said, "it has been given unto you to know the mysteries and secrets of the kingdom".

With those 2 things said, I believe as Christians, we are supposed to be in tune with what God is doing (by praying and faithfully attending our local church), and thereby, we are keenly aware of the end times. Why? So we can be ever vigilant to gather in the harvest while there is still time.

Don't egg them on, or we will have 2000 threads about all the prophecies they think are unfullfiled by tomorrow.

Nevermind that the root word of Revelation is reveal and it was written before AD70.

Nevermind that in Matthew 24 Christ was describing 2 separate events: 1)The destruction of the Temple in AD70(and with it all of the records of Israel), which all the signs pointed to, and 2)His Second coming which will have no signs.

Another question that comes to mind is that since the Temple and it's records were destroyed utterly in AD70, and with it all of the records of who was who, just how do they know who is a true Israelite any more? How will they select their high priest without a descendant of the tribe of Levi?

I suspect that if this is the "last days," you will be disappointed.

What is that supposed to mean?

[realpatriot71]

Well, I guess I'm not in total agreement with you. I do believe the Bible gives prophecy that pertains to the last days before Christ's 2nd coming. I do think we'll see signs, but when people try to give every historical event some sort of meaning in a very symbolic book, it troubles me.

I personally think that saying, "good guys win, bad guys lose" is a great way to sum everything up.

Scriptural fulfillment or rigging the

The Jews have been excavating under there. There is a tunnel that starts at the Western Wall and winds through under the rock to the Moslem area. My parents went through the tunnel a few years ago.

I remember reading that Muhammed actually never went to Jerusalem and have heard the same also.
