Does Daniel's prophecy include a gap of about 1,900 years for the church age?
No. Daniel's prophecy presents the succession of empires and the coming of Christ's kingdom as a continuous flow, with no hint of a 1,900-and-some-year intervention of the church age. The prophecy moves straight down the line from start to finish without such a gap.
Les explains that in Daniel's prophecy, the empires come and go and everything moves from start to finish with no hint of a 1900-and-some-year intervention of the church age. The prophecy runs straight down the line. He then points to Joel 2:28, where 'afterward' follows His coming, rejection, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, and refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Thus, the Old Testament program flows directly without a church-age gap.
