Yes, commandments of God would be in the philosopical, topical ball park of the law.

I don't know that much more than that could be assumed between the two passages.

Your assumptions of a relationship could be right. Yet, the two passages may have essentially, nothing functional or actively descriptive in terms of an event relationship to do with one another.

I still think that the Daniel passage is talking about a massive shift--a global paradigm shift of epoch making proportions affecting, essentially, all the inhabitants of the globe of whatever cultural or religious backgrounds. Otherwise, I think it would have been worded differently.

just imho.

could the point be made that this massive shift--a global paradigm shift of epoch making proportions affecting, essentially, all the inhabitants of the globe is described by dan 7:25?....im not sure what you're saying here....is it that a defining characteristic of these events, maybe the defining characteristic is that it is "known" or "seen", or in the fuller sense; "realized" by the entire world?

interesting.....im thinking that a change in 'the law' by itself could qualify as a global paradigm shift....not to mention "speaking great words"...."blaspheming"...the "most high" - shudder.

if im reading your meaning wrong, please straighten me out, id much appreciate it! but if the point (maybe 'missing point' to you?) is world-wide knowledge &/or realization, perhaps jesus' saying; "let the reader understand" - interestingly in parentheses! - in matt. 24, may be the 'counterpoint', so-to-speak. that is, 'ya gotta look into this stuff, people, because you wont understand unless you do'

god bless you! LUB
