Hi Al,
Arithmetic?
You don't get it, do you? You still don't get it.
MATHEMATICS is an exact SCIENCE. It's not speculation. It is SPECIFIC. That's why I brought it up.
It's the "science" of the Bible. The chronology.
We can "speculate" all day on legends and myths and who influenced whom and we will never know since there can be many scenarios. But Mathematics must work out perfectly. It's as close to science in the Bible as we will get.
And yet you've dismissed it. This doesn't speak well for our communications.
But I really need to know more of what you specifically believe about two prophecies, the "70 weeks" prophecy and the "7 times" prophecy in order to know just where to go next with this, if you're interested in pursuing any spect of postdeluvian chronology. I didn't think you were particularly interested so I didn't comment extensively.
So.
Here's your NEXT STEP:
Briefly give me a run down on what you know and blieve about the chronology and fulfillment of the "70 weeks" prophecy, dealing with the first coming of the Messiah. And ditto for the "7 times" prophecy dealing with the Second Coming. If I know which direction you are coming from, I can provide you with the sources that might "correct" your current view or refine it.
Thanks and cheers,
