I knew a Jewish man in a former Parish who told me that as a child he was forbidden to read Daniel.
Of course, he couldn't wait to read the Prophet.
He became convinced that the Prophet was writing about the coming Messiah (who he now embraced).
What really helped him was doing the mathematics of Daniel 12, verses 11 and 12.
"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days."
It might seem a small and insignificant point for us....but for him it was huge.....so huge that he could not get around it.
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
