Patti said: One thing I find interesting about the biblical prophecy concerning the timing in Daniel is that it appears that it can be interpreted in the same manner it was interpreted to validate Christ (see St. Augustine's City of God, Book 18 Chapter 34 from the fifth century). I've pointed this out before on this list, but here's the link with the exact quote in case anyone missed it. http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist/m39826.html
Richard added: It appears as well that the expectancy of the Jews regarding the Coming of Messiah as indicated by the findings of the "Dead Sea Scrolls" and other evidence of the existence of communes around Jerusalem at the time when Jesus appeared, was based upon the understanding of the 9th Chapter of Daniel. Also, it seems that Miller (of Seventh Dad Adventist fame) and the Carmelite Monks used Daniel to determine the date of the Second Coming using especially Ezekiel, verse 6: "Thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year." __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.net/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.net/bahai-st http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist (public) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (public)
