John Calvin that is.
This is the radio station I produce for. I suggested to one of our reporters that he should do an interview for John Calvin’s 500th. He thought it was a good idea because this is Grand Rapids and Calvin College is here. I suggested he talk to Richard Muller at Calvin Seminary. He tried, no answer. Then I suggested he talk to Joel Beeke and Puritan Seminary but this reporter wanted someone from the namesake college or seminary. He ended up speaking with Karin Maag. I had never heard of her but I think she did a pretty good job. I chuckled when she talked about predestination and said, “There’s even evidence for it in Scripture” almost as if she can’t believe it (or is apologizing for it?).
Mind you, this is not Christian radio, the interviewer pleads ignorance because he truly doesn’t know much at all about Calvin.
Hi Rick,
I don’y know how to contact you so I’ll ask off-topic here.
I posted http://kimriddlebarger.squarespace.com/ask-a-question-about-eschatolo/ about Daniel 9.
You mentioned your position.
Do you have any articles you could email or point me to that explain your view more detailed.
I am coming to what I think is a similar conclusion to you. 70th week is from cross to parousia. During this time 70 AD occurs and the ‘midst of the week’ refers to an end time rebellion as in Revelation.
I cant find many advocates of this viewpoint though.
Anyway would be interested if you could email me.

“Adam’s response got me thinking some more.
I’ve maintained for a while now that the whole final “week” is the time period between the cross and the consummation. I believe that the final three-and-a-half frame of Daniel’s final week corresponds to Satan’s short season of Revelation 20 (a time where Satan will be allowed to deceive the nations). …”
