what is the only explaination for Daniel 2:44?

Well first of all this passage speaks of a power or "Super Power" (Kingdom) that goes around crushing other "Kingdoms" and brings them to an end, now who does that remind you of?

God "told" it to the Jews in Babylonian captivity during the Exile.  It is a creation account that uses the Babylonian creation myth--Enuma Elish--as its beginning point but reveals a more transcendent God who alone is Divine.

I find prophecy easier to understand than to explain.\n\n666 is the number of a man that will rule in one of the nations in the world that Satan is in. \nHe will come after the KJV 1611 bible, he will come after 2520 from Daniel in Babylon #3 of the major nations and 2520 will be the end of #7 and the bible to the world in the last days. \nNations rise from nothing or a handful of people and rise to be great and powerful and can do some horrible things as did German Nation Hitler. Example 606 to Christ, [after 666 and 606 + 666 =] 1938 Hitler plus 7 years to end in 1945 and his suicide when Satan released him from causing so much havoc.\n\nCheck out Daniel 3460 + 2520= 5980[2520 less 606 BCE = 1914 CE. Rev.11:1-3; 12:6,14; 13:5; 1260 + 1260 = 2520 God's time, 1260 is [30 days x 42 months = 1260 man days of ww1. Jesus was in Rome #6, WW1 was end of #7 and the world has the bible for the last days. Dan.7:25[2500 Michael as in Jude 9; stands against Satan];\nDan.8:12-14[2300 the bible is here in 1694 from 1611];\nDan.12:1-7[2500 Michael stands against Satan];\nDan.12:8-10[2520 = 1914 = Rev.12:7-12; = John 14:3; = Rev.9:1-5[5x 30 = 150 years? pit is open fo Satan]? John 6:39,40,44[raised up at the last day of 1000 years];\n\nDan.12:11[2x 1290 to go above time, time and divide of time as God's time = 2580 less 2520 = 60 years more];\nDan.12:12[2x 1335 = 2670 less 2520 = 150]; This year we are 2006 after Christ, 2612 after Daniel in Babylon #3, and 6,072 after Adam was in Day six. Rev.12:7-12; Satan has a short time.\nRev.20:1-6; The 1000 year reign of Christ so hat 7,072 years are accounted for, will it be 6130 from Eden + 1000?\nAsside from the Babylon #3, Rome #6 and Christ, #7 and the bible with WW1 and WW2 and thousands of world religions, and Jesus coming again in the 8th of Rev.17:1-6,10-14; of\nSatan's world, there are 10 horns or off spring areas as was\nGerman Nation Hitler Rev.13:18; Here is wisdom. \nLet him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man: that is [606 BCE] + 666 CE + 606 CE + 666 = 1938 + 7 = 1945. In the time order this is all I can see.\nAs for [1260, 606 BCE =] 654 + 606 + 654 = 1914 + 42 months WW1. Satan has been down since 2520 after Babylon #3. Rom.16:20; Heb.1:1-13[enemy is Satan, Michael is there];\nDan.12:11[2x 1290 = 2580]; [1290, 606 BCE] 684 + 606 + 684 = 1974 [world involved in something else to be judged for];\nDan.12:12[2x 1335 = 2670 less 2612 = 58 to 2670];\n\nKJV 1611 + 391 = 2002 Rev.9:14,15[Rev.16:12-15]; Here we are\nKJV 1611 + 395 = 2006 CE, 2612 After #3, 6,072 After Adam.\n\nProphecy is not to be understood until it has happened.

Revelation is a dream that God gave to John.  Yes it is somewhat symbolic, but what real choice did John have to explain the things God was showing?  John was seeing the future, something that has not even happened yet in the 21st century, and he was in the first century.\n\nIn Daniel there were prophesies that came true hundreds of years later that were so accurate that historians try to prove the book of Daniel was written after the events.\n\nThe point is that that the language is symbolic, but the symbols are highly recognizable.

I think you're reading too much into this. And Daniel is not the same as Revelation - some say the prophecies of Daniel have already been fulfilled by the Persian Empire.\n\nLion: at various points in time, symbolic of several men and families (ie, Medieval heraldry); also of Jamaica, Rastafarianism, several African nations, the Dreyfus Financial Group.\n\nEagle: Symbolic of the U.S. as well as of Germanic states (during its incarnation as the Holy Roman Empire, German Empire, Prussian Empire and Austrian Empire), certain Roman generals, to name a few.\n\nBear: Symbolic of Russia, poor financial markets, Norse tribes, many Native American tribes, Spain (particularly Madrid), and several groups within China.\n\nLeopard: Many nations in Africa (as well as Shamanism in general, where the leopard-skin man is the healer) as well as European powers that colonized those lands.\n\nUnknown Beast: well this could be anything from the Leviathan to the Juggernaut.\n\nI've often thought that symbolism within Scripture must be viewed in context to the original audience (Israel during the Babylonian captivity), since it makes little sense for God to prophesy to peoples living 3 millenia hence but leave everyone in-between mystified. Consider Hebrew culture at the time to be a reference point.

I am not sure where you got those figures but they are not correct. We do not have the exact time fram from Adam out. The earth is approximately 6000 years old. The only thing we know for sure is that Jesus was born in 1ad and was crucified and resurrected in 32ad. So right now we are 1974 from when Jesus died and rose again. There so there is around 4000 years prior to Jesus coming. The prophecy in Daniel 9 refers to the coming of the Messiah. The prophecy begins with the command to rebuild Jerusalem which came in Nehemiah 1 on our Calendar March 14th 445bc. It goes forward 473 years to April 6 32ad when Jesus presented Himself as Messiah to the Jews on what we now call palm Sunday. We do not know when satan will be bound in the pit but it will not come until the end of the tribulation (the 70th week of Daniel). We do not know when the tribulation will begin. So again those numbers you have are way off base and mean absolutely nothing in reality because we do not know the exact amount of time that passed from creation to Jesus. Keep your eyes on what is clearly revelaed in Scripture and don't worry about extrabiblical ideas.

The Daniel fast is a fast that is found in the book of Daniel as done by Daniel.  Daniel (in captivity) told his cooks not to bring him any meats, sweats, breads, nor any form of drink other then water.\n\nPeople people believe this means he had ONLY fruits, veggies and water.  However, It is my belief that he also had nuts, figs, etc. \n\nAny type of fasting is a physical way to seek out God's will and guidance.

In Matthew 27:42\n\n"He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.\n\nThat's the closest I can find.\n\nYou probably typed in the wrong statement?

Interesting, but my translation says "God takes his stand in his own congregation".  (New American Standard).  We would need to discuss it with an expert in ancient hebrew to form an informed opinion, so take it easy.

Because Gd had already told us that one person could not die for the sins of another!\n\nIn Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \nsouls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \nalso the soul of the son is mine: the soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die. Again, when \nthe wicked man turneth away from his \nwickedness that he hath committed, and doeth \nthat which is lawful and right, he shall save \nhis soul alive. \n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nJews have always believed in Gd, and not in Jesus, because to believe in Jesus goes against all that Gd said for 2,000 years before.

In the mid-1800's there was a world wide movement that believed based on prophecies in Daniel that Jesus would return in 1844. This group of people,made up of Christians from almost every denomination believed that those who had rejected the message of 1844 had the door of mercy shut on them based on a passage in Revelation about the door being shut and no one could open.\n\nOnce it was evident that Jesus was not coming in 1844, further study revealed that the event that was to happen in 1844 was not the return of Jesus to this earth but the movement of Jesus from ministry in the holy place into the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary, there to begin the judgment. It was this door that was opened and the one to the holy place that was shut. \n\nHowever, Adventist still believe that the day will come when the judgment is finished. Jesus will leave the heavenly sanctuary to prepare to return to this earth. During that time, there will be no advocate between man and God. Every case will be decided for eternity, \n\nHe that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. \nRevelation 22:11\n\nAt that time, man's probationary period will be closed. The door of opportunity will shut for those who have rejected the truth. When Jesus comes again every case will already be decided, for His reward is with Him. The final plagues have fallen on the wicked. How will we know who are wicked if the judgment has not already happened. The wheat will have been separated from the tares, the sheep from the goats, and it will be too late to change your mind. It is this close of probation that Adventist thought happened in 1844. Now they realize the close of probation is at the end of the judgment that is now going on in the sanctuary of heaven.

Daniel, unless you're using the Jewish system.

if you check out what the book of Daniel says in chapter\n2 verse 44  Daniel 2:44 you will read that God is setting up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin and that will put an end to all other kingdoms. so the kingdom of God is a real government that will be established in heaven for the purpose of ruling over the earth. it does say in revelation that those having part in the first resurrection will be judges it is in Revelation 20:6 which reads ' Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years. now the kingdom was a mystery for some because they did not believe in it or in the power of God to make this changes but that is another theme.

In the Book of Daniel Suzanna is a woman of clean morals.  She was very beautiful and two old men watched her while she was bathing, (peeping Toms are not new).   They wanted to have sex with her and she refused.   So they made a loud accusation against her telling that they caught her having sex with a young man.  At that time, women who were unmarried were stoned to death.   Daniel was brought to judge her.  He separated the two lying men and asked them separately where he was standing when he observed Suzanna's behavior; one answered one place and the other, not  knowing what his friend said, answered another place.  Daniel caught them in their lies and freed \nSuzanna.   This part of the Book of Daniel is not contained in the King James version of the Bible but only in the Catholic bible.  And it is too bad, because American law on how to decide who is guilty has a strong basis in the Book of Daniel

After his resurrection, Jesus Christ gave flashes of light regarding an obligation resting on all his followers. Most likely it was to the 500 disciples assembled in Galilee that he said: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. \n\nThereafter, all followers of Christ were to be preachers, and their preaching commission was not to be limited to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 10:6) Nor were they to perform John’s baptism in symbol of repentance for forgiveness of sins. Instead, they were to baptize people “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.”\n\nJesus commanded his followers to baptize new disciples “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.” (Matthew 28:19) What did Jesus mean? Baptism “in the name of the Father” indicates that the person being baptized wholeheartedly accepts Jehovah God as the Creator and the rightful Sovereign of the universe. (Psalm 36:9; 83:18) Being baptized ‘in the name of the Son’ means that the individual acknowledges Jesus Christ—and particularly His ransom sacrifice—as the only means of salvation provided by God. (Acts 4:12) Baptism ‘in the name of the holy spirit’ signifies that the baptismal candidate recognizes Jehovah’s holy spirit, or active force, as God’s instrument for carrying out His purposes.\n\nJesus commanded, it is to be carried out “in all the nations.”  To Jesus’ Jewish followers, that must have been a startling commission. He was telling his Jewish disciples that they would now have to go out to the “unclean” Gentiles of all the nations and teach them. It took some readjusting for them to absorb the impact of and act on that assignment. (Acts 10:9-35) But there was no getting around it; Jesus had told them in a parable that “the field is the world.” \n\nWhen we examine texts offered by Trinitarians as evidence that the Bible “implies” a Trinity, what do we find? An honest appraisal reveals that the scriptures offered do not speak of Christendom’s Trinity.   \nAn example of such texts is found at Matthew 28:19, 20. There the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit are mentioned together. Some claim that this implies a Trinity. But read the verses yourself. Is there anything in those texts that says that the three are one God equal in eternity, power, position, and wisdom? No, there is not. It is the same with other texts that mention the three together.

Daniel ws delivered from the lion's den, Isaiah was not killed and the three hebrew boys were delivered from fire.\n\nEsther said: "If I perish I perish". \nWith faith in God we can face fearful situations knowing and trusting that God will do the best - and if He does not deliver us, then so be it: better in Heaven than here on Earth.
