Thursday: The Prophetic Calendar — 2 Comments

  1. Thank God for His provision everytime! If His care did not provide for us, what would? Without hope, how can a human being survive? Among so many sufferings in this planet? Thank God for His Love! His Son, who provides for us this hope, the only thing we can truly rely on.

  2. There is something so significant about Daniel 9:25-27 that even the Rabbis, in their want to reject Christ, are said to have placed a curse on anyone reading these verses.

    EG White says "The prophecy of Daniel pointed so unmistakably to the time of Messiah’s coming, and so directly foretold His death, that they discouraged its study, and finally the rabbis pronounced a curse on all who should attempt a computation of the time." White, E. G. (1911). The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan (Vol. 5, p. 378). Pacific Press Publishing Association.

    But what curse is this they placed?

    A Sage said: "May the curse of heaven fall upon those who calculate the date of the advent of the Messiah, and thus create political and social unrest among the people." Sanhedrin, 97b. Taken from Louis Newman and Samuel Spitz, The Talmudic anthology: tales and teachings of the rabbis (Behrman House, 1945): 277. ISBN 0874413036, 9780874413038

    "A most amazing thing occurs in the ninth chapter of Daniel: we’re told when Messiah would come. But instead of explaining it to us, our Rabbis curse anyone wanting to find it out: ‘Rabbi Samuel b. Nachmani said in the name (of) Rabbi Jonathan: ‘Blasted be the bones of those who calculate the end.’" Sanford R. Howard, L’Chayim: Finding The Light of Shalom (Thorsby, AL: Sabbath House, Inc., 1999), p. 209. Sanhedrin 97b, vol. 2, p. 659, Soncino Press.
