Bible Prophecies: 18

Continuing with further discussion on Daniel 7 from Chapter X (part 4).

“ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN CAME WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN”

(Daniel 7:13-14 +)

Finding the Kingdom of Heaven

For those who write in English and want to emphasize some point, they can use ALL CAPITALS, bolding, italicizing, underlining, and exclamatory punctuation!!!!  But the Hebrew prophets had none of these available to them—no capitalization of any kind, sentences running together without punctuation. All these men could do to emphasize was to dramatize their message. Unfortunately, today people reading these translated passages sometimes focus more on the drama as drama, overlooking the ancient means of emphasis. Consequently, the focus on the drama is more on what a Hollywood producer might be looking for than on the message itself. So how does one focus more on the message?
