Josheb, I just read the first line of this response and I immediately went to the bottom to respond and comment... should it be needed... I definitely should have placed a bunch of emoji's to ensure my intent / humor was revealed. When I think there is an opportunity to insert humor (which of course does not always work - in the written world... much more effective and received in the face to face world), I take it... in this case I was trying to show the Grand Canyon type space between your comment "not a rocket surgery" or something like that to MY perception of "rocket surgery"... now, I will go back up  to your comments, Charlie

Okay Josheb, I just read the next few lines of your response..... so not good! Please accept my apologies.... there is NO WAY there could be ANY disrespect to you..... period. 

This was simply my way of taking a piece of one's response and turning it into humor and where I am the subject of the joke... not the other guy....

Please accept my sincere failure at humor and my apology, Charlie

Oh, and I forgot to mention... the emoji that I had inserted, which obviously failed miserably to convey the same theme - joking about the spread between our ability to understand things... was this little character who would find it necessary to go back and back to reading the Scriptures (me) since I certainly did find so much so difficult and confusing...

But I can see this too did not reveal my intent.... Charlie

Maybe the first abomination of desolation is about 164 BC when Antiochus sacrificed a pig on the altar

There was at least one more future to that - which Jesus referred to - and it occurred 66-70 AD

Now are we talking about an actual stone temple in which the son of perdition will sit? It could go either way - whether NAOS or HIERON is used - Paul certainly wrote about US as a Temple...

Justin, tell us how and/or why this is or might be relevant (as briefly or succinctly as possible says the guy who posts at length ). Specifically, try to keep the explanation relevant to the AoD. 

Just answering Pops question is all. He had interjected a query.

Difficult to follow a thread with odd things suddenly appearing.

Oh well. Back to the rocket engineering...

I have heard of ROCKET SCIENCE but never of ROCKET SURGERY!

Talk about derailing - Josh put it into ORBIT...

As for the book of Daniel being a DONE DEAL - it is NOT DONE at the hands of the liberal Bible Scholars

Some of them would try to make MESSIAH in Daniel 9 simply mean ANNOINTED ONE and refer to Onias III - they would do a deal that will get Jesus out of the picture altogether!

No, I have not either but I knew what he meant and I saw an opportunity to use that "common phrase" (rocket science) to get across my view that his level of "rocket science" is so much different than mine...... but it just was not presented properly and I am responsible as the sender for ensuring clarity and no harm could or would be interpreted through this medium....

This was really the first time I had the opportunity to express my interpretations to Josheb, in detail, knowing he has a completely different understanding of Daniel and I would be willing to have him address my departure from today's accepted interpretations. Hence, the response to Justin BEFORE I read Josheb's reply continuing the "attempted humor" with my visit to the metal smith in anticipation of his analysis.....

I know, I feel like I am sitting in Challenger, Charlie

I find this is worth considering with these things:

Ecc 1:9

That which has been is what will be,

That which is done is what will be done,

And there is nothing new under the sun.
