Hi Medinni, BTW, I wish you would stop maintaining that your view here is THE Christian view, since that is simply not true, as the article to which CBY linked and Jerome (who started the count at Darius I and saw the cut off mashiach as the last Hasmonean priest/king, NOT JC) prove.

Sure, I am not always expressing the view of all of Christianity, no one can do that, but a significant percentage most of the time. I trust you to use your good judgment accordingly, as I do recognize your point, and bear with me, so that we don't get bogged in the matter, as such remarks are necessary at this particular site to accomodate the boards rules regarding "no preaching". That's all. I am just trying to get along. It is as a they say an "imperfect world"....:) .
