"22. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. "

📚 Daniel 9:22 KJV

Before we actually get into the interpretation, can we talk about the importance of this prophecy and the major flaws with the Futurist interpretation of the prophecy?

References & Footnotes:

1. Bible translations are created using a method on the specturm from word for word (KJV) or thought for throught (The Message). Word for word means each word was translated as is to create the translate; this can sometimes be hard to read because the linguistics don't transfer from language to language. Thought for thought is when a phrase or thought is translated instead. This allows the translator to create smoother sentences, however it also requires the translator to interjet their interpretation of the passage into the translation. The Message is about as far on the thought for thought spectrum as you can go. There's alot added in (and possibly take out). It's just not a reliable translation.

5. Apologies for the noise in the background during the section when I was talking about when the Messiah is cut off. That would be my cat playing with a toy nearby. I was hoping it wouldn't be so pronounced in the recording because I was on a roll 😂

7. I didn't mention the fact that the destruction of the Temple happens outside of the 70 weeks, that's because no matter how you interpret this passage that remains true. We'll chat about that a bit in the next episode.
