Everyone remembers the predictions that the dying patriarch Jacob pronounced over each of his sons in Genesis 49. "And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. " (which was the last days of Israel as a people,...

Paul gives more evidence in Romans 1:8 that the gospel truly had reached all the nations of the known world at that time (written around AD 60). "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world ." The term for "world" here is "kosmos", ...

And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. - Mark 13:10 NASB The Gospel must be preached before what Jesus is describing can be fulfilled. If I take - as I do - He to be describing the fall of Jerusalem primarily, WHY must the Gospel be preached to all nations (as it seemingly was by...

Hi mikew, appreciate the feedback on this... You mentioned that you suspect that few people back in the first century were paying attention to the progress of Daniel 11. On the contrary, I believe that most of the entire nation of Judea as well as that of Samaria were well aware of Daniel's prophecy...

This comment is going to highlight the mention of the "MANY SHIPS" which this "king of the north" brought against the "king" in Daniel 11:40-41.

We know that in the earlier part of Daniel 11 (Daniel 11:5-35), the designation of "king of the south" indicated Egypt and its succession of Ptolemaic rulers. Likewise, the "king of the north" in these earlier verses indicated...

Is this noted in any commentaries on Daniel? Does Steve mention this or else propose a different idea? Sorry. I'm lazy. Pompey the Great was not proposed as being this "king of the north" in any commentaries I have reviewed yet. And I did listen to Steve's coverage of this section of his studies on...

This section of Daniel 11 has proved to be an elusive topic as to who this "King of the North" actually is. Anyone reading the extensive record of Pompey the Great and his military exploits should be able to make the connection to the activities of this "King of the North" in Daniel 11:41-45. It is ...

Paul used run-on sentences too much. He was not a rhetorician. For writing style, I would have to agree with you on the part about the run-on sentence structure. Or perhaps we should lay the responsibility for that on the translators who inserted the punctuation? I would also agree on agnp's observ...
