30–33 AD: The crucifixion of Jesus under the authority of Pontius Pilate.
66 AD: The outbreak of the Great Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire.
70 AD: The siege of Jerusalem by Titus. The city was sacked, and the Second Temple was completely burned and destroyed

This is the time line you gave for the events and we have approximately 4…[Read more]

At what point does the Jesus factor into this timeline and how does it parallel what Daniel was told in the 70 week prophecy?

You say the period between the crucifixion and the destruction of the Temple was a period of reprieve, a little confused. When I read vs 24, Gabriel explicitly tells Daniel 70 weeks have been determined upon the…[Read more]

P.S. It didn’t go unnoticed that you ignored and didn’t comment on the fact the semicolon in Dan 9:25 is missing from today’s translations…wonder why???

More dodge and evade tactics of the christian who can’t explain why they believe what they believe; they just “believe.”

I don’t understand what you mean, please explain; because every translation I use DOESN’T have “but not for himself” in Daniel 9:26.

When examining the Hebrew the translation reads: And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and have nothing. And the people of a prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the…[Read more]

You realize the Targum is an interpretation/translation of the Hebrew into Aramaic and therefore wouldn’t be the original Hebrew. At any rate, how does this prove the Jesus is the reference in this passage in Isaiah and that he is the true Messiah. Still waiting for what the Jesus fulfilled as was spoken in the Tanakh of who the M…[Read more]

Explain this, this is the original 1611 King Jimmy for Daniel 9:25 (grammar cleaned up):

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, onto the Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks; and threescore and two weeks, the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in…[Read more]

Do you comprehend what you are told or read?? Nowhere did I insinuate Daniel was a liar; I said the Jesus was the liar!

The Jesus lied because what he said never happened. He told his disciples that they would see the Temple destroyed and he would return after that. It’s written in black and white, read Matthew 24; the Jesus tells the d…[Read more]

I see you couldn’t come up with a measly 20 prophecies the Jesus supposedly fulfilled…go figure! Should I have expected anything less?

The christian has to be one of the most gullible species on the planet; Isa 53 isn’t about a messiah figure, that was made up by the catholic church (the origin of ALL christian faiths). Can you pro…[Read more]

Over 300 Prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus life and ministry!

I am still waiting for you or anyone to prove the Jesus is the true Messiah; why is this such a difficult question for the “believing” christian? You parrot the Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies, please provide the prophecy the Messiah was to commit suicide to be the pro…[Read more]

Almost three weeks ago I asked you six simple questions about being included into G-d’s house; what’s the matter, you have no response?? Isaiah never explains, so what are you doing to accomplished all of them?

Have you attached/joined yourself to G-d?

Do you serve G-d alone?

Do you love the name of HIM who created all thi…[Read more]

You quote (copy/paste what someone told you to believe) the passage from Ezk 28:16-18 and because it says “cherub” it must automatically refer to angels because angels are called cherubs. Did you read the passage in the context it was written?!?!? Did you…[Read more]

What is the meaning behind Isa 56:1-8? You always post a passage without explanation, as if the simple reading of it is explanatory. Why is G-d talking about the Sabbath and connecting back to the foreigner and the eunuch?

You have found an interesting passage, but the meaning goes way beyond what you seem to be suggesting it says (once…[Read more]

The seventh-day Sabbath was instituted at Creation for all humanity, not for a single nation.

Are you really this obtuse?!?!? The “my people” isn’t a reference to Israel and Isaiah isn’t the “speaker” in this part; it’s a reference to the nations.

When are you going to identify who is speaking where?? Once you do that, your muddy water will suddenly become clear.

Why do I say Revelation was written before the destruction of the Temple, the words written place it before its destruction.

Rev 1:7 (Look! He is returning with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes on the earth will mourn because of him. This will certainly come to pass! Amen.)

It means something, and it is far more likely to relate to the fulfilment of prophecy than to be a random verse with no real significance.

In your next post concerning Ps 22; what is the prophetic correlation to the Jesus of David lamenting over being surrounded by his enemies and speaking of what they will do to him if he is caught?…[Read more]

You as do others seem to think that God should have spelled everything out so clearly, that even the enemies of God could have understood it and therefore, not fulfill it.

You keep returning to this idea; now explain Amos 3:7, “Certainly the sovereign LORD does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the p…[Read more]

Where do I begin?!?!? You aren’t connecting the dots. IF you were willing to engage in an actual conversation, it would be wonderful; then we could have a back and forth, asking and answering questions, and explaining our thoughts.

Your “devotional” is another fine example of parachute theology; I found a verse I like, it sounds like what I believe, and will then apply it to my belief system as proof.

So now you’re backing down when it comes to Cain and Abel!?
Why is that?

Backing down?!?!?! You have yet to explain anything and constantly shift topics!! You are the definition of “backing down”!! When you can’t explain why you believe what you believe or support your beliefs with G-d’s words (the Tanakh…[Read more]

Where did the Cain and Abel thing come from?!?!? Talk about random!! By the way, we’ve been over this before; do you not remember?? I asked you what it meant and you couldn’t tell me! Such “strong” beliefs you have when you can’t support what you believe; we call that being gullible.

You understand Psalm 22 is poetry…right!! So the ev…[Read more]

You’ve mentioned I John 2:23 twice now, what is your point? We have truth because some NT writer said by denying the “son” one automatically denies the Father? Since the Jesus isn’t The Messiah (unless you can prove he is – beliefs don’t count, evidence does) and I turn my attention to G-d alone, what need do I have of the Jesus?

Blah, blah, blah; the Psalm is about David NOT the Jesus. You believe a lie!

More Parachute theology, drop in on a passage that one thinks is about the Jesus because is sounds like the Jesus. Read the entire chapter and place that single verse into the context it was written and there will be no the Jesus. Besides, Ps 22 isn’t M…[Read more]

although mōtāw is grammatically plural, it does not necessarily mean the servant literally died several deaths

You are assuming the servant is a singular individual. In that case of course one can only die a single physical death; however, this isn’t about an individual; it’s about a nation – Israel. You then bring in ancient…[Read more]

Who is the “he”, who is the “our”?

If you can’t identify who these pronouns are, why do you believe what you believe?

Not worried, the Jesus didn’t fulfill what was prophesied about The Messiah. Unless you can prove he did.

Talk about being “under the law”, isn’t observing the Sabbath part of the “law”? Why is observing a Jewish command so important to the SDA? Why does the SDA only seek to convert the christian and NOT the “unsaved”? Sound a little upside down and backwards.

The “command” was actually an example set by G-d to take a day and rest as HE did…[Read more]

Who is this “innocent” figure, this servant? Christianity says it’s the Jesus, but using the words of the NT we find the Jesus ISN’T all that “innocent.” Judaism says it Israel and what’s crazy is we are told who this “servant” is.

But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend. (Isa 41:8…[Read more]

Of course it’s simple for the christian, they have found a passage that sounds like the Jesus and therefore is the Jesus. If you would have been following what I have been writing from the beginning, you would have found it impossible for this to be about the Jesus. I gave examples from the NT showing how he was violent, was deceptive,…[Read more]

If the expression “his death” was in the plural, the expression “his grave” would ALSO be in the plural.

How many “graves” can one person be buried in? Why are you shooting the messenger, I’m reading the original text!! The text your OT is based upon! Jump back to 43:10 “Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have ch…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

Does nobody read for comprehension anymore!?!? Is there anyone who will verify what I am saying?? What I am finding is why I walked away from christianity. I began asking questions I was apparently NOT suppose to be asking and at one point was told by a pastor I shouldn’t study so much and pray more. What was he a…[Read more]

You keep wanting this to be about the Jesus and it simply isn’t so. The passage you question (vs9) is yet another mistranslation of the Hebrew. The Hebrew for “in his death” is בְּמוֹתוֹ and is the singular form. What is written is בְּמוֹתָיו (verify on biblehub) and is in the plural “in his deaths”, so the passage should read: “An…[Read more]

@Berean,

This is NOT difficult! I never said Israel was sinless and most certainly NOT blameless in their actions against G-d, this is the reason the Israelite’s are in exile!!! This is the reason G-d sent the prophets, to warn them of what was coming if they didn’t change and turn back to G-d. Are we reading from the same tex…[Read more]

I see you ran directly to accusations verses answering questions or proving your stance. Please tell me what my sin is and have need to cleanse myself for.

It describes the servant as innocent.

Go back a few post where I showed how “innocent” the Jesus was; he was violent, deceitful, was desired, and he wasn’t so hideous that people avoided him. For most of it I gave NT passages showing who the Jesus really was. So your the Jesus doesn’t fit Isaiah 53 either.

The general christi…[Read more]

You were told it was a singular person; now prove it. I can prove the nation Israel was referred to the singular many times, so to say this passage specifically refers to a singular person (the Jesus) means nothing without evidence. To “believe”/“trust”/“have faith” that this passage is referring to the Jesus also means nothing, as…[Read more]

If it’s about a person then you DON’T want it to be about the Jesus because he failed in every instance! You still haven’t proved 53 is speaking of the Jesus; where as I have gone thru the first part of the chapter compared it to the NT and have found fault after fault AND gave you sources for verification. Now who is being stubb…[Read more]

Apparently you don’t want to go over this chapter again.

As far as who is speaking in the chapter, I’ll fill in the blanks for you since you can’t:

52:13-15 – God describes the suffering and eventual restoration of the servant (Israel) and it shocks the nations.
53:1-3 – The nations restate what God said in 52:13-15.

We have been over this verse by verse before and will gladly go over it again; however, part of having a conversation is injecting your thoughts into it and supporting what you believe. Back up what you believe with scripture.

There are basically four sections in this “Fourth Servant Song”; who is speaking where?

52:13-15
53:1-3
53:4-9
53:10-12

You are so far over in your head! You can’t explain what Isaiah 53 is saying; yet, you’re going to use it as “proof” this “servant” is the Jesus?!?!!? You where told it was a reference to the Jesus, not that it’s what the chapter is about. To find out who this “servant” is, one would have to read the previous chapters (start in 41); it…[Read more]

In the Ot,(early NT) they made sacrifices( blood of animals or birds)to get sins blotted out

This is a false understanding that has been pushed by the NT; what did G-d say? It was G-d who said to repent, turn from your wickedness, and HE would remember your sin no more. Do you recall the passage where the prophet Hosea (14:2) says, Take…[Read more]
