  so my mother passed on 20 aug 23 from the big c. i was there when she went.

  that was indeed very traumatic.

  i won't go to describe it.. dad went 17 years ago so there's just me now.

  I'm sorry KaleboutWest but you are totally wrong, I read many Jewish commentaries and they treat these dates as literal. Can you kindly provide direct quotations from ancient texts?

  So the people who lived nearer the event by thousands of years believed to be literal but the "scholars" that lived thousands of years after the event they think its metaphorical. Why believe the "scholars"?

  The King that breaks the covenant is the Antichrist. The Watchtower obsesses over Daniel 11 which is a very difficult chapter with identities of the kings changing all the time. Why don't We concentrate on the book of Revelation which is easier to understand? Beast, mark of the beast image of the beast

  Never heard of a connection between Plato and the Quuran. As a source material I would advise you to stir clear from the Quran which is full if inaccuracies. The Bible is quite clear the numbers are literal, people luved longer before the Flood and there is nothing in the context to suggest this is symbolic or referring to astronomical circles. Even extrabiblical Sources ,like Sumerian records refer to a period of time before the Flood that people lived longer.

  jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the gentile times are fulfilled.

  — luke 21:24 .

  the bible book of luke records jesus prophecy of the last day with his parousia including the verse about the gentile times.

  The book of Revelation was written after 70 AD so the 42 months of Revelation correspond to a future trampling.not the 70 AD one of the Gospels
