Eschatological Update

 

Interpretation Style is Literal: Daniel 9:2, Jeremiah 25:11-12; 25:1 (29:10)

Daniel was gifted in dream interpretation and had extensive experience in understanding symbolism in visions, but when he read

Jeremiah’s prophecy of 70 years he did not try to unravel it, allegorize it or seek the symbolic meaning. Seventy years meant just that, 70 years.
