Understanding the Prophecy of 70 Weeks

[TMSO]

You keep stating falsehoods. "decree" and "determined" are NOT synonyms. Totally and absolutely not true whatsoever.

I see what you did there. Decree and determined (v) would not be synonyms, however decreed (v) and determined (v) would be synonyms. So would decree (v) and determine (v). So, no falsehoods at all. This is you saying you want a thesaurus for Christmas without directly asking for a thesaurus for Christmas. I think I noted that I had looked it up in a thesaurus, which was clear that they are synonyms. I also presented definitions that showed they are synonyms.

Both passages contain the "secret" to how the 70 weeks start. They both state that it was the issuing of the "word" of God that was the beginning of the time period. There was no "decree" involved.

Decree can be a noun, but it can also be a verb. It isn't that difficult to follow. I decree that that person is not allowed to... (a verb). I gave a decree that this person... (a noun). In the case of Daniel 9, it is a verb. Command, decree, determine, or if being literal, to cut off/divide.

My videos and book go through all this proof in very much great detail. Much more than can be in a forum post.

You should be able to present a valid compelling argument at this level, which would tell me it may be worth spending my precious, little time with books and videos. However, this is not at all compelling. Especially when you start up with a blatant falsehood.

It's very telling that you (and most people on this forum) do not want to make the effort to investigate the proper way to interpret this (and many other) prophecy I've discovered. Why should I rewrite the hundreds of hours of research in a forum when I present it the way I want it presented in my videos and books. I don't care if you don't ever know the truth. It's your loss. But stop denigrated me for your lack of courage to challenge your preconceived assumptions.

It should have been n for noun, and v for verb. Crazy forum. The offer for a thesaurus is still good... Decreed and determined are synonymous. BTW, when it says decree in the Bible, it isn't decree. It is writing or other such words, which basically means determination written on paper. Hence the determination becomes a decree.

As for a compelling argument, all we are talking about is language here. You state that the language, which a linguist can explain to you (and has been trying) and explain why, for instance, decreed (a verb) and determined (a verb) are not synonymous. (I would use a thesaurus...) Also, you haven't explained the issue with Ezra, where the same words are translated in two different ways, when it only shows up once in the verse.

As I said, look at my presentations. Not going to lay out the entire evidence and sources in a forum post. If you don't have the time or interest, then I don't have the time or interest in engaging with you.
