So you don't see the flow of the Ram, how a smaller horn came up first, and how a taller one came up afterwards. The Medes and Persians were not one kingdom until 6 years after Darius took it. Do you deny what Daniel is saying? Or do you just don't want to admit you're wrong.
Daniel 5:31
"
And Darius the Median took the kingdom, (Babylon) being about threescore and two years old."
Isaiah says God will stir up the Medes against Babylon. Why do you tell me it's the Persians? The Medes and Persians were not united into one kingdom until 6 years AFTER Darius and his hordes took it. Why deny the written Word?
Isaiah 13:17
"
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, ie. (Babylon)
Jeremiah says God would raise up the spirit of the Medes against Babylon. Why do you deny that? You haven't given me one shred of evidence to support Cyrus and the Persians as the ones who took Babylon.
Jeremiah 51:11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the
kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance
of his temple.
Daniel 6: 28 clearly states Darius reigned BEFORE Darius. What problem do you have accepting that?
Daniel 6:28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius,
AND in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
This verse clearly mentions Darius' first year in power over Babylon. Why do you deny that?
Daniel 11:1 Also I in the
first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
This verse says Darius set 120 princes over the kingdom of Babylon. Why do you deny that?
Daniel 6:1 It pleased Darius to
set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
This verse is Darius' last year in power over the entire kingdom before he reigned over the Northern province of the kingdom. Why deny it?
Ezra 6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
I believe Gods Word when it says "inferior land." I believe God's Word when it says Darius took Babylon.
I believe God's Word when it says Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius,
AND in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. Clearly indicating Darius reigned first.
It's disappointing, and it's common practice for the typical Christian to deny God's Word when it clearly refutes them because they cannot admit they are in error.
"The greatest impediment Christians have obtaining truth is when they think they already have it."
I'm not on the attack. I'm just showing people how difficult it is to change the mind of a misled Christian in denial!
