General Discussion / Time, times and dividing of times
« on: August 03, 2011, 01:08:09 PM »
Hey Pete,
I'm doing some research on the above topic and have read Islam in The End times by Ellis which is a great book!! I have a question regarding time, times and dividing of times which equals 2500 years. I see the logic as well as the end result. My question is how he gets to that conclusion by taking and OT hebrew word for time by giving it a Greek meaning for time which is hemera as found in 2Peter 3:8?
Ellis has said that we don't use OT proof when we have a NT definition to something and vice versa and maybe I'm answering my own question now since day and year are defined in OT but time is not defined in the OT. I hope I'm not being confusing but I was hoping you can shed further light on this for me.
Thanks as always and God bless
Gordon
