The faith of the Old Testament lives on in Jesus Christ - the Bible is one book - but Judaism is not the religion of the Old Testament like some people think - it is more Babylonian Talmud than anything else

They are not there - they are waiting for it to be rebuilt - I think they are at a kibbutz atm

I answered in post 288 :)

Well at least we agree on the Catholic Church - and a Reformed Church would close its doors on me - I am not reformed either :)

I have my doubts about him, he is called exceedingly great ? I don't think so. We learn about and see movies about people like Alexander the Great etc but did we learn about Antiochus in History class ? maybe in a Jewish school IDK I agree Most of the narrative is about the fourth Kingdom yes...

I think the three main religions of the world - Islam, Judaism, and Christianity (the ones that love war because they think it will rush the second coming) will bring the world to another world war, then either Christ will return at that time orrrrr He will have the nations defeated and true...

Does the C in your name stand for cardinal by any chance ? lol

No idea - If they believe everything has been fulfilled then we are living in the physical kingdom of God now with no more tears and no more sorrow etc which clearly isn't the case - but I am not a preterist so maybe they have an answer for that.

That seems very plausible to me I see the start of it as the first coming but also V 35 as the second - I guess that is where we differ, but that would not stop me understanding the rest of your position. I have posted my view on those verses before - I hold the Historist position - sorry :(

The countless others statement was because you said it would be revealed to us - and that was to say it was - it was what the reformation was based upon and it is what gave us our Bibles in English and other tongues - the Papacy wanted it left in Latin. As for if I am wrong and if it is literal...

Countless Christians including Roman Catholics have come to the same conclusion throughout the centuries - it is the only thing the Reformers agreed upon

Yes but he gave the number and whole lots of symbols and clues to work it out

Just in case it was not clear in the post - I see the succession of Popes as Pauls Man of Sin - or Ant-Christ :) But I think you might of got that from the post :)

It is the Greek for Latin One = or Latin Man - as I said in the post - was first suggested by Irenaeus (130 - 202 AD) as the number of the beast.
