Featured The Messianic Kingdom?

The CEV is a paraphrase, not a translation. In a paraphrase it is a much looser translation where the person or persons take much more liberty.

This has nothing to do with translation. It is equivalent to reading the footnotes in either the Douay Rheims (RCC) Bible, or those in the NWT (J.W's) translation. Both are uninspired. The notes in the Geneva are based on the current theology of the day.

As the CEV indicates, the he is not Christ.
Daniel 9:27 English Standard Version (ESV)
27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
--It is the Antichrist that will make a covenant with Israel for one week of seven years--a pact of peace. Then in the middle of that week, he will desecrate the temple, putting an end to the sacrifice and offering by desecrating the Temple. The "he," the one to come, will bring desolation. It is all about the Antichrist to come. Each of those translations say the same thing.

 

1. Jesus recognized that the kingdom He was offering would not be fulfilled soon but would come about at his second coming.[/b]

2.contemplating what would result in view of Israel’s rejection of him.[/b]

You center in on two thoughts instead of taking the complete and entire thought that was conveyed. Let's break this down, Jesus recognized, merriam webster on Recognize: to know and remember (someone or something) because of previous knowledge or experience. Given that Jesus had previous knowledge "that the kingdom He was offering would not be fulfilled soon but would come about at his second coming."
So no Jesus wasn't surprised.

Webster on contemplate, to view or consider with continued attention : meditate on ,to view as contingent or probable or as an end or intention "what would result in view of Israel’s rejection of him."

He meditated on the fact of "what would result in view of Israel’s rejection of him."

So again your premise of what you think he said and the balance of the statement bears out that he was not saying what you surmise, but it was being as I stated in fact in God's plan, which Jesus in His deity already knew.

 

Keil & Delitzsch

This says the he is the ungodly prince and/or the anti-christ.

 

You must be the one led to "believe that he had doubts as to what Jesus Christ knew about HIS rejection and therefore raises questions as to whether he believed that Jesus Christ was fully GOD!!" Because the article conveys a lot different idea

 

Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."

We see the King cometh as a conqueror, Matthew 21:4-9,
4 "All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."

Jesus came presenting Himself as the King, lowly riding upon the colt a foal of donkey. This offering the Kingdom to Israel at that point and guess what. A "very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees" they that is "the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!"

They recognized Him as King and a few days later the leaders of Israel had Him crucified. Thus the Kingdom was offered. So you need to read the Bible a little more because right here is "Scripture in the O.T. and New Testament where an offer of a Messianic Kingdom wass made to the Jews.

 

Reading comprehension is the ability to read text, process it and understand its meaning. An individual's ability to comprehend text is influenced by their traits and skills, one of which is the ability to make inferences. If word recognition is difficult, students use too much of their processing capacity to read individual words, which interferes with their ability to comprehend what is read. There are a number of approaches to improve reading comprehension, including improving one's vocabulary and reading strategies.

Reading comprehension involves two levels of processing, shallow (low-level) processing and deep (high-level) processing. Deep processing involves semantic processing, which happens when we encode the meaning of a word and relate it to similar words. Shallow processing involves structural and phonemic recognition, the processing of sentence and word structure and their associated sounds.

Reading comprehension is defined as the level of understanding of a text/message. This understanding comes from the interaction between the words that are written and how they trigger knowledge outside the text/message.[1][2] Comprehension is a "creative, multifaceted process" dependent upon four language skills: phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.[3] Proficient reading depends on the ability to recognize words quickly and effortlessly.[4] It is also determined by an individual's cognitive development, which is "the construction of thought processes". Some people learn through education or instruction and others through direct experiences.[5]

There are specific traits that determine how successfully an individual will comprehend text, including prior knowledge about the subject, well developed language, and the ability to make inferences. Having the skill to monitor comprehension is a factor: "Why is this important?" and "Do I need to read the entire text?" are examples. Lastly, is the ability to be self-correcting to solve comprehension problems as they arise

In this last part of reading comprehension you fail at reading comprehension, you fail to see that you "need to read the entire text" to comprehend what they text says.

 

Why did He refuse to be made King because it was not time for His Kingdom and He in His Deity knew it!

We also see t his:

Matthew 4:16-17,

23 "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."

Matthew 9:35-36,

35 "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."

Mark 1:14-15

14 "Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."

Sounds like the Kingdom was being offered by Jesus.

John 6:14, 15
14. "Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
15. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone."

They recognized Him as the Messiah to come but Jesus knew it was not time for Him to become the King seated on David's Throne so He departed. The Kingdom was at hand yet Jesus knew that they would reject the Offer and that is what Walvoord said if you read the entire text.

Yet the Kingdom will come and Revelation 20 says it will last 1000 years.

 

Matthew 16:18, "...upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
What was the Rock, Peter or His faith?

1st Corinthians 3:10-11,

10 "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

Paul says it faith in Christ, the gates of hell cannot prevail on our Faith in Christ.

John 17:11-23, Jesus prayer was for us of this present age why would He say anything about removing us in fact He ask that we be not removed at that time but to continue in order that we could win souls. The souls of those whom were foreknown.


John 15:18-25, Jesus let us know that in this present time we will be persecuted and that is still happening today. It will happen even more so in the Great Tribulation to those saved when He who letteth is removed.

John 16:33, Again He was giving believers a great promise He will keep us in this period and see us through the tribulations of life.

Revelation 3:10 "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."

Jesus promised the church, the whole church even that they would be kept from the time of trial "which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth"

That time of trial has not come. But the church will be kept from it. Greek horas meaning time, Peirasmou meaning trial, those who kept the word (LOGON) used in several passages by Jesus, with hypomones-Patience that is our salvation.

The believer will be kept from the time of trial which is coming upon the whole entire World, that is the believers in this present dispensation or covenant of grace, will be kept from the time of trial which is coming upon the whole entire world. Jesus words not man's!

 

It is a paraphrase and that is all. It is in line with all the other translations.
The trouble with your "commentaries" is that they are reading into the text those things that are not there. They are actually comparing Christ to the Antichrist. How can that be?

In the Goodspeed Bible of 1923, Alex R. Gordon translated the book of Daniel.
He translates vs. 27 this way:
"Then for one week the covenant shall be abandoned by many,
And for half of the week sacrifice and offering shall cease,
While in their place there shall be a desolating abomination,
Till at the end the doom that is determined shall be poured out upon the desolating thing."

In 1903 Ferrar Fenton came out with a translation, a translation which he began in 1853. It took him 50 years. He translates verse 27 this way:
"After that, the City, and the Sanctuary will be desolated by a Dominating People who are brought on,--But its end will be with a torrent, and its abolition by war. The desolations are fixed. But Covenant will be guarded by many for a week, and in the middle of the week, He will make the sacrifice and the offering to cease, and the Loathsome Brute will desolate to the extreme:--but at last a wound will be given to the Desolators." (26b,27)
--Here "he" is referred to a "Loathsome Brute," and that is back in 1903."

A good book to read (actually booklet) is by Dr. Alva J. McClain called "Daniel's Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks."
It was originally printed in 1940.
McClain, Th. M., D.D., L.L. D. was the President of the Grace College and Theological Seminary for 25 years. The book is a scholarly treatment of the passage.

Dan 9:26 And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined.
Dan 9:27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate. (ASV)

After 483 years (after the 69th week) Christ would die. He would be "cut off."
Then (some time after--it doesn't say when), the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city.
The Romans destroyed the city of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The 69 weeks came to an end no later than 33 A.D. Now if even as much as one year is possible between 33 and the 70th week a gap must be admitted. But here we have a gap of 37 years. Thus those that believe this prophecy was fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem believe in "a gap interpretation" of this passage. If there is a gap of 37 years there is no reason for not believing there may be a gap of 2,000 years.

What are the events mentioned:
--to finish the transgression.
--to make an end of sins
--to make reconciliation for iniquity.
--to bring in everlasting righteousness.
--to seal up the vision and prophecy.
--to anoint a most holy place. (vs. 24)

All these events have to do with the Jewish people.
All these events will take place within that 70th week.

Where in history did any of these take place?
Even spiritualizing or allegorizing the passage there was never an ending to Jewish transgressions or sins. On the contrary their sins and transgressions have only increased.

Unseen gaps are common in prophetic time.
Isa 9:6
(6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
--A child was born 2,000 years ago.
But the government will not be upon his shoulder until the Messianic Kingdom is come. He will not rule until His Millennial Kingdom is set up.

The same kind of gap is found in Zech.9:9,10:
His entrance into Jerusalem is prophesied first.
Then his dominion "from sea to sea," is next which has not happened yet.

Thus the 70th week is also future.
It speaks of the Antichrist who is to come.

 

Matthew 16:18, "...upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

What was the Rock, Peter or His faith?

Therefore by Grace through Faith we are saved, that is what makes up the church, those who have Faith, the gates of Hell will not prevail against those who place their faith in Christ, from Adam and Eve to all believers of today and future believers. Christ Blood paid for ALL sin, past, present and future. All who trust in Christ the gates of Hell will not prevail.

The church in and of itself constitutes all of this age who place their faith in Christ the foundation of the church is Jesus Christ and our Faith in Him. Because my Faith is not in Peter but upon Christ and Christ built His church upon Peter's faith.

 

No foot shuffling here you just seem to interpret those scriptures in your way. I see Christ asking for the Father to help those of His Church, in this age. Through those passages.

Show where I said any of this:

"Your entire doctrine is based on the false premise that the Church of Jesus Christ, which he hath purchased with his own blood, is an interruption in GOD's program for national/ethnic Israel. You totally ignore the fact that GOD had a people before Israel and HE has a people now. "



Now it is time for you to stop your false accusations about me and prove where I said what you say.
