And I bet not one of the myriad of passages quoted in that post has ever been read or understood in context by any of you. Let’s take one for example:

“He will confirm a covenant for 7 years - Daniel 9:27”

This is so blatantly pulled out of context it’s laughable!

Here’s what the passage says:

24 “Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy.

25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” Daniel 9:24-27 (NKJV)

The antecedent noun to which the pronoun “he” refers to is Messiah, NOT “the prince.” “The people” is the subject of the independent clause that immediately precedes “He”, so “he” cannot refer to the plural “people”, neither can it refer to the object of the propositional phrase “of the prince.”

The covenant Messiah confirmed for the “one week” (in which He was actually crucified) was this:

“I, the Lord, have called You [Christ] in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house. I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.

Isaiah 42:6-8 (NKJV)

That is the covenant Messiah confirmed by His coming. And He further strengthened it by shedding His own blood:

27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Matthew 26:27-28 (NKJV)

Daniel 9:27 doesn’t even begin to discuss any so-called anti-Christ. You’ve all been fed a lie by people profiting from your ignorance of scripture.

MORE HORRIFIC UNMITIGATED BALDERDASH!

I’ll take my understanding of Scripture over your purported brilliance any day of the year, year of the century.

It’s not really that difficult.

And . . . HINT—MANGLING SCRIPTURE ALL OUT OF WHACK

does NOT help even Preterists understand it better at all.
