 THE PRINCE WHO IS TO COME... but who is he.  Part VIII.  by Doug Krieger
Firstly, let me reiterate, the establishment of THE COMING PRINCE – THE PRINCE OF THE COVENANT (Daniel 9:26; 11:22) is – notwithstanding the protestations of James Lloyd and his “Christian Media Research” – an absolute biblically-based fact in Daniel 9:24-27.
Messiah the Prince who was “cut off” is diametrically opposed to the sinister figure of THE PRINCE WHO IS TO COME (i.e., The Coming Prince) in both Daniel 9:26 and 9:27.
However, the Prince of Wales, according to McHyde—although Tim ultimately resigns from a complete distinctive identification of the king in waiting as the Son of Perdition—has the numerical value of “the name of a man.”
