    how many time must I post this? “To this I would add that grammatically the infinitive “to cease” does not possess any modifiers.

    No the sacrifices did not cease. They continued offering sacrifices. The text in Daniel 9 says that in the middle of the week the sacrifices would cease. It does not say they would cease being effective. You are adding to the word of God. “To this I would add that grammatically the infinitive...

    I would note how Covenanter and Dave they for a gap of about 40 years in Daniel 9:26 between the Messiah being cut off and the people of the prince destroying the city but refuse to allow any gap between the 69th and 70th week and state that there no gaps in the 70th week prophecies.

    Pastor Markle again responded well to you with "What does it mean that this “he” will “cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease”? The second independent statement (clause) of Daniel 9:27 states, “And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” This...

    How to interpret the Bible

    Quote You said to Pastor Markle: "We should judge prophecy both by its faithfulness to the Word, & by its fulfilment, not by grammatical analysis. There is a danger of being Pharisaical. Also, we have the mind of Christ - 1 Cor. 2:16 - so we can look at prophecy with an new covenant...

    He used grammar to show that YOUR private interpretation was just that, private. And yes I believe the 70 weeks are literal 7 year periods. The scripture itself has gaps in prophecy. “Scattered throughout the Scriptures are prophecies that contain references to both the first and second...
