    Just a little quibble that I noticed while skimming this farrago of
inerrantist fantasizing.

CREA
    Baloney!  The word used in Daniel 9:24 is (as subsequently noted)
"sabuim" and quite literally means "sevens", and this is the word  NORMALLY
used in the OT for weeks, not years (which is "sanah", btw) -- otherwise the
KJV needs some major rewriting at Exodus 34.22,Leviticus 12:5, Numbers
28:26, Deuteronomy 16:9,10,16, Second Chronicles 8:13, Jer. 5:24, and DANIEL
10:2-3(!).  If this is representative of Cramer's research then one has to
wonder about the accuracy of the rest of his findings.
