The prophecy identifies several moments, such as, an official decree…

literal millennium). I reject that view in favor of what’s called Premillennialism which basically says that Christ will return before the millennium to set up His 1000-year kingdom on earth.

Daniel’s 70 weeks lay out God’s plan for the nation, Israel (see Daniel 9:24-27). According to most scholars within both the Dispensational and Covenantal camps, the Messiah (Jesus) is cut off (crucified) after the 7 and 62 (7+62=69) weeks. These are weeks of years, not days.

Oedipus the King and Death of a salesman are tragic play. In addition,the theme of self-denial can be seen in both play. The protagonists, Willy Loman and Oedipus, are blinded by pride which lead to the development of their self-denial behavior. Oedipus thinks he has the absolute power while Willy thinks he is always right. They are self-centered. However, their pride leads to their downfalls. In both plays, self-denial is illustrated in differently ways, Oedipus denies the prophecy, whereas,…

protect his life.” Daniel received the name Belteshazzar because of the Babylonian’s gods either Marduk, or Nebo conceivably to incorporate the culture of the Babylonians and their pagan’s gods .

Also, the book of Revelation, with all its various prophecies, mentions only one coming of the Lord—and that occurs after the Tribulation (Revelation 19-20).

Also, the resurrection of the dead in Revelation 20:5 is called “the first resurrection.” Posttribulationists assert that, since this “first” resurrection takes place after the Tribulation, the…

sixth century the first of the Hebrew people settled in the Iberian Peninsula. At this time captives and exiles spent most their time here in the peninsula since they were sent there. Most of the stories are just word of mouth passed down from Muslim Spain while they were enjoying life. So the inquiry may be how did Jewish life start in Christian Spain?
