Topics¶

JUDGMENT (Score: 0.58)¶

THE GENERAL: 1CH 16:33; JOB 14:17; 21:30; PSA 9:7; 50:3-6; 96:13; 98:9; ECC 3:17; 11:9; 12:14; EZK 18:20-28; DAN 7:9,10; AMO 4:12; MAT 3:12; 7:22,23; 10:15; 12:36,37; 16:27; 25:1-46; JHN 5:22; 12:48; ACT 17:31; ROM 2:5-10,12-16; 14:10-12; 1CO 3:13; 4:5; 6:2; 2CO 5:10; 2TH 1:7,8; 2TI 4:1,8; HEB 6:2; 9:27; 10:27; 1PE 4:5,7; 2PE 2:4,9; 3:7,10-12; REV 1:7; 6:15-17; 11:18; 20:11-15; 22:12

ACCORDING TO WORKS: GEN 4:7; JOB 34:11; PSA 62:12; ISA 3:10,11; JER 17:10; EZK 18:4-9,19-32; MAT 25:14-30; ROM 2:5-12; 1CO 3:8,12-15; REV 2:23; 20:12,13

Relevance: Dan 7:9-10 is directly listed under JUDGMENT THE GENERAL. The judgment scene vocabulary (dina yetib, sifrin petichu) is the forensic foundation for Dan 8:14 nitsdaq. Rev 14:7 "hour of his krisis" bridges the Daniel judgment to the NT.

SANCTUARY (Score: 0.58)¶

EXO 25:8; LEV 19:30; 26:2; LAM 2:7,20; EZK 11:16; 42:20; HEB 8:2,5; 9:2

Relevance: Heb 8:2,5 establishes that the earthly sanctuary was a copy of the heavenly original. This is foundational for the HIST argument that Dan 8:14's qodesh refers to the heavenly sanctuary, and that nitsdaq indicates a heavenly forensic process (investigative judgment) typified by the earthly Day of Atonement.

HORN (Score: 0.43)¶

Figurative: Of power (1KI 22:11; PSA 89:24; 92:10; 132:17)
SYMBOLICAL: DAN 7:7-24; 8:3-9,20; ZEC 1:18-21; REV 5:6; 12:3; 13:1,11; 17:3-16

Relevance: Horn as a symbolic power in Daniel 7-8 is confirmed by the angel interpreter (Dan 7:24 "ten horns are ten kings"; 8:20-21 horns = kings of Media/Persia and Greece). This symbol is consistent throughout Daniel and Revelation.

BLASPHEMY (Score: 0.38)¶

General: EXO 20:7; LEV 19:12; 24:10-16; DAN 7:25; 11:36,37; 2TH 2:3,4; REV 13:1,5,6; 16:9,11,21; 17:3 - Prophecy of: REV 13:1,5,6; 16:9,11,21; 17:3 - The man of sin: 2TH 2:3,4

Relevance: Dan 7:25, 2 Thess 2:3-4, and Rev 13:5-6 all appear under BLASPHEMY. The Nave's entry itself groups these three passages together, confirming the cross-testament convergence on the blasphemous horn/beast/man of sin power.

RESURRECTION (Score: 0.58)¶

JOB 14:12-15; 19:25-27; PSA 16:9,10; ISA 25:8; 26:19; EZK 37:1-14; DAN 12:2,3,13; HOS 13:14; JHN 5:21,25,28,29; 1TH 4:14,16; REV 1:18; 20:4-6

Relevance: Dan 12:2-3 is the clearest OT resurrection text. The "voice of the archangel" in 1 Thess 4:16 converges with Michael "standing up" in Dan 12:1, and the Son's voice raising the dead in John 5:25,28-29.

MICHAEL (Score: 0.39)¶

The Archangel: DAN 10:13,21; 12:1; Jude 1:9; REV 12:7
Message to Daniel: DAN 10:13,21; 12:1
Contention with the devil: Jude 1:9
Fights with the dragon: REV 12:7

Relevance: Michael progression: "one of the chief princes" (10:13) -> "your prince" (10:21) -> "the great prince" (12:1). The archangel voice at resurrection (1 Thess 4:16) + Son's voice raising dead (John 5:25,28) = Michael = Christ identification in the HIST framework.

PERSECUTION (Score: 0.41)¶

DAN 3:8-23; 6; PSA 2:1-5; 2TH 1:4; REV 2:3,10,13; 6:9-11; 7:13-17; 12:11; 17:6; 20:4

Relevance: Dan 7:25 "wear out the saints" (bela, Pael imperfect = sustained attrition). Rev 13:7 "make war with the saints and overcome them." The persecution of saints is a specification shared by Daniel 7 and Revelation 13.

ABOMINATION (Score: 0.42)¶

Idolatry: DEU 7:25; 27:15; 32:16
Unclassified: PRO 3:32; 6:16-19; 17:15

Relevance: Dan 8:13 (transgression of desolation), 9:27 (overspreading of abominations), 11:31 (abomination that maketh desolate), 12:11 (abomination that maketh desolate). Jesus quotes this in Matt 24:15 and Mark 13:14 as still FUTURE, orienting the abomination toward a continuing fulfillment.

STONES (Score: 0.42)¶

DAN 2:34,45; ISA 8:14; 28:16; ZEC 3:9; MAT 21:42-44; LUK 20:17,18; ACT 4:11; 1PE 2:4,6-8; EPH 2:20; 1CO 3:11; 10:4

Relevance: The stone in Dan 2:34-35,44-45 that destroys the image is "cut out without hands" (di la bidayin) -- a supernatural act at the end of the succession of kingdoms. The stone/stumbling-stone tradition (Isa 8:14, 28:16, 1 Pet 2:4-8) converges on Christ as both cornerstone and destroying stone.

PROPHECY (Score: 0.64)¶

DAN 7:14,27; 9:2,26,27; 11:30-45; ISA 9:7; MAT 5:18; ACT 13:27,29

Relevance: Highest-scoring topic. Daniel's visions are the backbone of biblical eschatological prophecy. The progressive revelation pattern (Dan 2 -> 7 -> 8-9 -> 10-12) adds detail with each cycle.

ANCIENT OF DAYS (Score: 0.44)¶

DAN 7:9,13,22

Relevance: Title appears only in Daniel 7. The Ancient of Days presides over the judgment scene (7:9-10), and the Son of Man approaches Him (7:13). This is the HIST pre-advent judgment.

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (Score: 0.50)¶

MAT 13:24-50; 18:23-35; 22:2-14; 25:1-30; JHN 18:36; ROM 14:17

Relevance: Dan 2:44 ("the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed") and Dan 7:14,27 (everlasting dominion given to Son of Man and saints) are the OT foundation for the NT kingdom of heaven teaching.

QUOTATIONS AND ALLUSIONS (Score: 0.36)¶

Comprehensive NT-from-OT cross-reference list in Nave's (430+ quotation pairs). Key Daniel connections: - Dan 7:13 -> Matt 24:30, 26:64; Mark 13:26, 14:62; Rev 1:7 (Son of Man) - Dan 9:27 / 12:11 -> Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14 (abomination of desolation) - Dan 2:28 LXX -> Rev 1:1 ("things which must come to pass" = ha dei genesthai) - Psa 2:9 -> Rev 2:27 (iron rod = Dan 2:40 iron kingdom) - Psa 118:22-23 -> Matt 21:42; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet 2:6-7 (stone/cornerstone chain) - Isa 8:14; 28:16 -> Rom 9:33; 1 Pet 2:6-7 (stumbling stone) - Jer 31:31-34 -> Heb 8:8-12; 10:16-17 (new covenant -> Dan 9:27 covenant confirmation)

Relevance: Nave's 430+ pairs demonstrate systematic NT dependence on OT. The Daniel-to-NT connections (Son of Man, abomination, stone, covenant) form a subset of this larger pattern, confirming that NT authors treated Daniel as authoritative prophecy requiring fulfillment.

ATONEMENT -- DAY OF¶

Time of: EXO 30:10; LEV 23:27; 25:9; NUM 29:7 How observed: EXO 30:10; LEV 16:2-34; 23:27-32; NUM 29:7-11; HEB 5:3; 9:7,19,22 Relevance: Nave's places DAN 9:24-27 under ATONEMENT unclassified scriptures alongside ISA 53:4-12. The DOA triad (pesha + chattat + avon in Lev 16:21) matches Dan 9:24's six infinitives. The six DOA elements in Dan 7:9-14 (white garments, fire, cloud, books, entering presence, exclusion) map directly to Lev 16 ritual.

COVENANT¶

Nave's explicitly places DAN 9:27 under COVENANT instances with the note "To be confirmed." Key covenant chain: Abrahamic (Gen 12,15,17) -> Mosaic/Sinai (Exo 34:28) -> Davidic (2 Sam 7:12-16) -> New Covenant (Jer 31:31-34 -> Heb 8:8-12) -> Dan 9:27 Messiah "confirms" (gabar) the covenant. Relevance: beriyth vocabulary through Dan 9:4,27 and 11:22,28,30,32 connects Messianic covenant fulfillment with the horn's attacks on the "holy covenant." The Second Covenant (JER 31:31-34; HEB 8:4-13) is what Dan 9:27 confirms.

SABBATH¶

Exo 20:8-11 creation language ("made heaven and earth, the sea") echoed verbatim in Rev 14:7. The Fourth Commandment is the ONLY commandment that is both law AND time, making it the target of Dan 7:25's "think to change times and laws." Relevance: Luke 23:56 "rested the sabbath day according to THE commandment" (kata ten entolen) AFTER the crucifixion; Matt 24:20 future Sabbath awareness; Isa 66:22-23 new-earth Sabbath. This creation-to-new-creation arc identifies the specific law of Dan 7:25.
