Summary of verses: Jeremiah 31:22 ("a woman shall compass a man") interpreted as a reference to the virgin birth — the Hebrew word bara (create) signals a miracle on par with original creation, bypassing the Adamic nature Two days of Hosea begin at the Crucifixion and Ascension, not 70 AD — grounded in Hosea 5:15 ("I will go and return to my place") and Micah 5:3 ("therefore will he give them up") Daniel 9:27 more accurately reads "he shall make firm the covenant" (the Holy Covenant) rather than a new peace treaty — consistent with all other uses of "covenant" in Daniel 2,300 days (Daniel 8:14) run from the restart of sacrifice to the cleansing of the sanctuary early in the millennium — not a marker for the Second Coming itself A completed temple is not required before sacrifice restarts; historical precedent shows sacrifice began before the temple was finished Jeremiah 30–33 ("Book of Consolation") is set in the context of Jacob's Trouble and the millennial restoration of all Israel — not just a remnant Micah 5:1–3: Israel smiting "the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek" marks the offense triggering divine withdrawal, paralleling Hosea's "until they acknowledge their offense" The third day in Hosea 6:2 corresponds to the Millennium; Christ's resurrection early on the third day is the paradigm for Israel's national resurrection The Antichrist comes in peaceably, conspires against the Holy Covenant from the start, and is later rebuffed by "ships of Chittim" before his final assault "No one knows the day or hour" refers to the ambiguous extension of days (1260/1290/1335) — not a blanket prohibition on discerning the season
