Jim,
 I found your post on the significance of Daniel 9:25 very interesting.  I respect your views and always look forward to reading what you have posted.
 
  I am a little confused with the "49" and "7" of Daniel 9:25.  "He comes to 2006 by adding the 49 and 7 years of Daniel 9:25 to January 23, 1950, with the gamma-ray burst in 1999 as triggering the final 7 years."  Final as in tribulation period?
 
  You mention at the end that "By way of remembrance, the brilliant Sir Isaac Newton, the father of modern science, believed the wording of Daniel 9:25 referred to both the first and second coming of Jesus."   The second coming at the end of the tribulation period?
 
  Are you saying that the gamma burst signaled the beginning of tribulation.  Is that the "7"?  If not, what are the 49 years and the 7 years, especially the "7" years?  Was this just a warning of the Rapture?
 
   Anxiously waiting for His appearing,
 Bea
