What Are We to Make of IsraelSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg delves into the interpretation of the 70 Weeks prophecy in Daniel 9, discussing the significance of the sacrifices and offerings ceasing, as well as the identity of the prince mentioned in the text. Contrary to a literalist interpretation, Gregg argues that there is no 2,000 year gap between the 69th and 70th week, but rather three distinct sections within the 70 weeks. He examines the idea of the Antichrist and its mention in Daniel and Revelation, highlighting the composite nature of the beasts in Daniel and the symbolic representation of the Antichrist as a political system. Gregg also explores alternative interpretations of the man of sin and the temple of God.
