The dream and interpretation illustration not original research

The illustration merely takes the Bible as it is written (NIV) and physically arranges the texts into parallel according to obvious related words, phrases and concepts. This is the very definition of paraphrase. There is nothing new added to the Bible or taken away. This is completely a NPOV.

The synthesis is merely a paraphrase of the Biblical texts. Allenroyboy 18:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A similar paraphrase illustration and table appear in Nebuchadnezzar's statue vision in Daniel 2. Allenroyboy 17:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As with the chapter 8 article, the content of this article needs more citations from scholars, commentators, experts. etc. The current analysis is based on the reflections of a single individual, and as such is POV Tonicthebrown 09:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What I said concering the paraphrase illustration here about Daniel 8 applies to this page too. Allenroyboy 18:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The wikipedia Paraphrase page states

"A paraphrase (from the Greek paraphrasis) is a statement or remark explained in other words or another way, so as to simplify or clarify its meaning."

The paraphrase illustration on this page is ONLY a paraphrase, putting the text in another way physically so that the text itself clarifies its own meaning. Paraphrasing is a long established and well founded technique on Wikipedia.

And, as was said above, the synthesis is merely a recapitulation of the paraphrased illustration. The only POV is that of the text itself. It does not matter whether someone likes what the text itself says or not. Therefore I am removing false assertion of original research. ---Christian Skeptic 04:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No Serious Biblical Scholar

Believes the 4 Empire are Babylon, Media, Persia and Greece. Only an idiot would not figure out that Media and Persia are always together, the Break up into 4 pieces of the 3rd Beast is clearly the division fo Alexander's Empire after hsi Death.

Most holding the Historict or Preterist view of the Passage just hold that it was obliviously Rome was on the rise by then.

So it is an outright lie to claim a completely Idiotic interpretation of the Passage is the accepted view.
