It's actually quite very simple...if they don't want to accept the 587 thing...then change your approach...use another illustration..infact use the SAME illustration/dream that the king had...Daniel Chapter 4 ...read verses 20-22
4:20 The tree that you saw that grew large and strong, whose top reached to the sky, and which could be seen in all the land, 4:21 whose foliage was attractive and its fruit plentiful, and from which there was food available for all, under whose branches wild animals used to live, and in whose branches birds of the sky used to nest- 4:22it is you, O king! (Nebuchadnezzar )For you have become great and strong. Your greatness is such that it reaches to heaven, your authority to the ends of the earth.
And point that out and say. It directly states who the dream was ABOUT!
If THAT doesn't work...throw in Jah-Eshua did not recieve 'all power' and 'authority' till after his resurrection found in Mt 28:18 ...Maybe it's just me...but If He (Christ) recieved ALLLLLLLLLLLLL authority ...wouldn't that make Him KING? ...And when did this happen? after his resurrection...not in 1914. He made this statement to the disciples back then. Also...~Fs
